Job Description:

The Continuous Improvement Partner is responsible for executing continuous improvement activities within a defined workstream in the Secure Agile Release Train (ART), using structured methodologies to monitor performance, identify inefficiencies, and support operational readiness for various changes.

The role applies Lean Six Sigma principles (DMAIC framework) and operates within a SAFe Agile delivery environment, identifying opportunities, supporting feature readiness and delivering post-implementation monitoring.

- Training Plan (TP): defines how training will be delivered
- Storyboard: translates training into structured learning content
- Other key DMAIC Artifacts (such as Process Maps)

The Continuous Improvement Partner is also responsible for creating and fostering an environment that promotes continuous improvement by supporting and partnering with department leaders to identify opportunities for improving quality, service and productivity.
