Ciena is evolving its Supply Chain into a process‑centric, workflow‑orchestrated, and digitally enabled operating model. This role plays a pivotal part in translating business strategy into scalable, governable, and automation‑ready end‑to‑end processes that deliver measurable outcomes. Reporting to the Director, Supply Chain Process & Digital Transformation, this position bridges strategy, operations, and digital enablement to ensure process change creates sustained business value.

How you will make an impact:

• Design and evolve end‑to‑end Supply Chain process architecture (Tier 1–4) aligned to business outcomes and transformation priorities
• Translate strategic objectives such as growth, cost‑to‑serve reduction, and resilience into executable process designs and operating models
• Define clear business rules, decision logic, handoffs, and controls that enable orchestration and automation
• Lead business process design for enterprise workflow and business process management (BPM) platforms such as Pega
• Partner with Supply Chain, Information Technology (IT), and architecture teams to ensure business intent is accurately implemented
• Establish and monitor process performance metrics to drive prioritization, continuous improvement, and value realization
• Enable a shift from functional silos to end‑to‑end process ownership across the Supply Chain

The must haves:

• 5–8+ years of experience in process management, business process transformation, operational excellence, or digital enablement
• Hands‑on experience with BPM, workflow, or orchestration platforms (Pega strongly preferred; Appian, Service Now, Camunda, or equivalent)
• Proven ability to translate business strategy and operational objectives into executable process designs
• Experience partnering closely with IT and technology teams on digital implementations
• Strong end‑to‑end process design skills with the ability to operate beyond functional silos
• Ability to clearly articulate business rules, decision logic, and workflows
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field

Nice to haves:

• Supply Chain domain experience across planning, order management, procurement, fulfillment, logistics, or service supply chain
• Experience supporting enterprise process orchestration or workflow enablement initiatives
• Familiarity with process performance measurement, automation coverage, and exception management
• Certifications in Lean, Six Sigma, Business Process Management (BPM), or process improvement disciplines
• Experience contributing to reusable standards, templates, and process design best practices
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, evolving transformation environments
