Operations at K-C is about getting things done and making things happen. We've structured our operations function to be agile and facilitate action. Demonstrated leadership ability and personal energy are the basic requirements. We encourage cross-functional moves within K-C, and look for a wide range of backgrounds when hiring from outside the company.

Within Kimberly-Clark our experienced operations candidates have broad operations or maintenance responsibilities for typically one high-capacity and technically complex manufacturing and/or converting process used for producing a range of base materials and/or finished goods. Typically, numerous raw materials are consumed in the process with each having several critical process variables to be monitored and controlled. Rate of technological and business changes vary across product lines but can add significantly to the nature and variety of the challenges faced. You will provide leadership for a team which typically includes members from one or more functional areas.

As a global health and hygiene company with exceptional standards for product and process performance, K-C regards operations as a highly developed and demanding profession. We recognize that exceptional people who are highly trained in operations and management skills are vital to our success. Expert training is made available on a variety of platforms, such as at the manufacturing site for specific technical training, through training consultants who support the development of leadership skills and corporate training functions.
