Global VOS Deployment Specialist

The Global VOS Deployment Specialist is a hands‐on deployment resource within the Global Manufacturing Vertiv Operating System team, reporting to the Global VOS Deployment Manager. The role supports execution of the Wave 12 program and other manufacturing transformation and deployment activities at underperforming, new, and expansion sites.

Working directly on the shop floor and alongside site leadership, the specialist helps deploy and stabilize foundational Vertiv Operating System practices including Tier Accountability, 5S+1, visual management, Leader Standard Work, standard work, key performance indicator governance, structured problem solving, and basic Lean methods.

The position supports rapid site assessments, implementation of recovery and readiness plans, coaching of local teams, tracking of deployment milestones, and preparation for handover to site and regional ownership. Success is measured by disciplined execution, adherence to global standards, measurable improvement in operational stability, and the ability of local teams to sustain the deployed practices after the intervention.
