Choosing where to start and grow your career has a major impact on your professional and personal life, so it’s equally important you know that the company that you choose to work at, and its leaders, will support and guide you. With a wide variety of people, global locations, technologies and products, 3M is a place where you can collaborate with other curious, creative 3Mers.

As a Business Operations Manager, you will have the opportunity to tap into your curiosity and collaborate with some of the most innovative people around the world. Here, you will make an impact by:

Lead and coordinate high-priority project workstreams connected to annual operating plan priorities and long-term growth objectives. You will help advance highly visible global programs, including Global Category Management at scale, the Global DSR Incentive Portal Channel AI tools, and other commercial capability and productivity initiatives that shape how 3M grows through the channel.

Play a key role in evolving 3M Partner Rewards into a stronger strategic growth platform. You will support enhancements that improve the distributor sales representative experience, increase adoption, strengthen operational effectiveness, and ensure the program continues to deliver measurable value for channel partners and 3M.

Use data to identify performance trends, risks, and growth opportunities. Translate insights into clear, practical recommendations that improve channel performance, commercial execution, and operational outcomes. You will build dashboards, scorecards, and executive-ready materials that help leaders make faster, smarter, and more confident decisions.

Support the execution of critical commercial excellence initiatives, including joint business planning, cross-sell programs, churn analysis, and new product introduction launches with channel partners. You will help build the structure, rhythm, and accountability needed to drive consistent execution across businesses, regions, and markets.

Partner with division teams, channel leaders, marketing, supply chain, sales operations, and other stakeholders to align business plans, demand signals, investment priorities, and execution activities. Your ability to connect the dots, bring teams together, and drive clarity will be essential to delivering business results.

Coordinate key operational components of channel and distributor enablement programs, including timelines, deliverables, stakeholder updates, and progress tracking. You will help ensure training and capability-building programs launch effectively, stay on track, and deliver against performance objectives.

Work across multiple businesses, functions, and geographies to solve problems, remove barriers, and maintain momentum on strategic priorities. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a matrixed environment, communicates with impact, collaborates effectively, and brings strong execution discipline to complex initiatives.

This is a global role requiring collaboration with colleagues and stakeholders across multiple time zones.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, data, channel growth, and commercial transformation.
