• Define process ownership, interfaces, and approval pathways (RASCI/Swimlane models)
• Support development of procedures and management system documentation aligned with ISO standards, where applicable (e.g. ISO 9001, 14001, and 55000)
• Facilitate workshops and change-management sessions to ensure buy-in from functional teams and alignment with Gold Fields corporate systems
• Ensure all new processes are documented, version-controlled, and ready for training and deployment before start of operations

What you'll need to succeed

• 10 + years in process improvement, business analysis, or operations excellence (mining or heavy industrial)
• Strong understanding of technology-enabled operations (control rooms, remote operations, analytics, autonomous systems)
• Expertise in process mapping tools (e.g. Visio, Miro, ARIS, Lucidchart, Signavio)
• Expertise in data-driven improvement frameworks (Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, VSM)
• Leadership qualities to collaborate with multiple stakeholders.
• Excellent facilitation, analytical, and communication skills
