Business Operations Senior Manager – Seller Experience Process Optimization (Lean Six Sigma / BPMN)
Siemens Digital Industries Software is a leading provider of solutions for the design, simulation, and manufacture of products across many different industries. Formula 1 cars, skyscrapers, ships, space exploration vehicles, and many of the objects we see in our daily lives are being conceived and manufactured using our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software.
The Process Effectiveness, Alignment & Readiness (PAR) team within DISW GSCS GTM&SO enables Global Sales to work better, smarter, and ready for what’s next by driving Process Effectiveness, cross‑functional Alignment, and organizational Readiness. PAR owns elements of the operating model and governance that underpin our Roles to SaaS (R2X) transformation, partnering with Sales, Sales Ops, L&D, Product/IT, and Field leadership to implement improvements at scale.
Job Profile/Position Overview:
We are seeking a hands‑on and strategic Process Engineer (Senior Individual Contributor) to own the R2X Level 2/3 BPMN catalog, define and maintain process measures/metrics/KPIs, and document systems, tools, and business objects/deliverables across the SVS‑PEF sales process. This is a business process engineering role for sales processes (not software delivery). Success means our sellers, managers, and operations teams can see, measure, and continuously improve how work flows across R2X—from Land through Adopt, Expand, and Renew.
Responsibilities/Tasks
· BPMN Modeling (hands‑on): Build and maintain Level 2/3 BPMN models for all R2X processes (as‑is/to‑be), including interfaces, swimlanes, roles, inputs/outputs, and controls.
· Measurement Architecture: Define measures, metrics, and KPIs per process (lag/lead), measurement logic, thresholds, and control plans; align with dashboards and business reviews.
· Systems & Data Mapping: Document Salesforce object dependencies, field lineage, integration points, and data quality requirements for each process step; map where evidence “lives.”
· Standards & Governance: Create and enforce modeling standards, naming conventions, artifact templates, and change governance (versioning, RACI, decision logs).
· Continuous Improvement (SVS‑PEF): Run structured improvement cycles (problem statement → current state → root causes → countermeasures → pilot → scale); track benefits (time, quality, conversion, ARR impact).
· Cross‑Functional Alignment: Partner with Sales Ops, L&D, Data/AI, Tools/IT, and Zone leadership to harmonize ways of working and embed changes in enablement and operating rhythm.
· Communication & Enablement: Produce clear visuals and one‑pagers; contribute to trainings, workshops, and council updates to drive understanding and adoption.
Top Outcomes (First 6–12 Months)
1. Complete the R2X BPMN Catalog (L2/L3) across SVS‑PEF, including interfaces and handoffs.
2. Define & Operationalize Measurement: for each process, document measures, metrics, KPIs, and control points; tie to data sources with ownership and visibility.
3. Systems/Tools & Business Objects Mapping: create end‑to‑end systems/tooling maps and business objects/deliverables for every step, with definitions and quality criteria.
4. Governance & Adoption: establish versioning, change control, and contribution model; partner with councils and enablement to drive field adoption.

· Metrics & Control: ability to define measures/KPIs and control plans tied to data sources and dashboards (e.g., Power BI) in partnership with analytics teams.
· AI‑enabled productivity: comfort using Copilot/AI tools to accelerate modeling, documentation, analysis, and communications.
· Strong facilitation and communication skills; able to collaborate across sales, presales, customer success, partner teams, operations, and IT/tools.
