At Emerson Flow Control, we're seeking a Value Stream Manager to lead one of the manufacturing value streams at our flagship North Texas facility in Sherman, Texas. As the business leader for your operation, you'll have the opportunity to shape strategy, influence results, and lead a talented team in a high-mix, configure-to-order manufacturing environment.

In this highly visible leadership role, you'll be responsible for Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People (SQDCP) while driving Lean transformation, developing future leaders, and partnering across Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing Technology, and Customer Service to deliver exceptional results for our customers. If you're energized by leading change, building high-performing teams, and creating lasting operational improvements, we'd love to hear from you.

• Build a culture of accountability, engagement, continuous learning, and succession planning. 

Partner Across the Business

• Collaborate with Materials, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Technology, Quality, Maintenance, Customer Service, and other functions to remove constraints and improve operational performance. 
• Support new product introductions, capital projects, and manufacturing process improvements while ensuring operational readiness.
