Experience in training trainers and coach development is a plus. Experience delivering formal curriculum is also a plus.
  • Your skills include strong communication and organizational skills; comfortability presenting to a broad audience of learners from different levels within the organization; strong analytical skills to interpret and present data (Data analytics applied to Quality).
  • You have a bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering or related field such as Mathematics or Statistics. You are Six Sigma Green belt certified (black belt strongly preferred).
