Leading a project with purpose, within the scope of the MONDRAGON Corporation and with an international vocation.

Autonomy and real capacity for transformation, within a clear governance framework aligned with the Governing Council.

An environment where collaboration, co-responsibility, and sustainability are part of the model.

The role

Leading here is not just managing a company; it is driving a shared project, with cooperative roots and an international presence, where results matter as much as the way they are achieved and ensuring they are socially sustainable over time.

We are looking for a person who combines strategic vision, industrial solidity, and close leadership, capable of aligning multicultural teams and integrating productive realities.

Your purpose

Aligned with the mandate of the Cooperative's Governing Council and with the socio-business policies of MONDRAGON, your purpose will consist of defining and leading the global strategy of the project, ensuring competitiveness, sustainability, and growth.

This purpose is materialized by driving a culture of enthusiasm, co-responsibility, and collaboration, through a cooperative leadership capable of mobilizing the team, strengthening bonds, and promoting the shared development of the project and its people.

What you'll do

Key responsibilities

Direct the global performance of industrial operations: productivity, quality, service, costs, safety, and continuous improvement.

Drive coordination and standardization between plants, fostering a common culture and aligned operating practices.

Optimize productive capacity and the organization of the industrial footprint, with economic criteria and a long-term vision.

Strengthen the leadership and people development model: talent, succession, commitment, communication, and culture.

Represent the cooperative before clients, strategic partners, and stakeholders, reinforcing relationships of trust and reputation.

Relate to the governing bodies (Governing Council/Assembly), providing rigorous and understandable information for decision-making, guaranteeing traceability and the follow-up of agreements.

How we understand leadership

Closeness and listening, without losing demand or focus on results.

Capacity to generate alignment and trust in diverse environments.

Leadership that inspires, develops, and builds solid teams.

Decision-making with responsibility, coherence, and vision.
