Posizione
For the Operations team of SYNLAB Italia, we are looking for a Lean Manager who will be responsible for leading continuous improvement initiatives and contributing to processes transformation across Italy. The position does not include direct people management, and requires a strong cross‐functional leadership on projects and a constant interaction with diverse stakeholders, like country and corporate functions, as well as international counterparts. We are looking for a pragmatic, energetic, and assertive person—not a back‐office or purely analytical profile, but a true change agent who can work directly on processes, engage people, and deliver tangible improvements in efficiency, performance, and ways of working.
