Phillips 66 & YOU - Together we can fuel the future

As the Manager, Laboratory at Phillips 66, you will lead a team of lab professionals responsible for ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of our products and processes. You will connect daily testing work to our broader business goals, turning data into insights and decisions that protect our operations and customers. This is a chance to shape how our lab operates, develop a high-performing team, and drive continuous improvement across our quality systems.

At Phillips 66, Lead Forward is our leadership approach. It defines how leaders show up, make decisions, and support their teams while delivering results in a complex, fast-changing environment. Leaders at this level focus on setting clear direction, building trust, and helping their teams succeed.

• Champion health, safety, and environmental performance in the lab, tracking key indicators, addressing noncompliance, and reinforcing expectations so safe, compliant work is how the team operates every day.
• Build and coach a high-performing, inclusive lab team by setting clear expectations, providing regular feedback and development plans, recognizing achievements, and enabling cross-training and growth opportunities.
• Partner across operations, engineering, supply chain, and commercial teams to understand needs, share insights from lab data, align priorities, and remove obstacles so quality considerations are embedded in business decisions.
• Use data from lab results and other sources to analyze trends, assess risks, and recommend actions on product quality, process performance, and material suitability, especially when information is incomplete or evolving.
• Plan and manage lab resources, budgets, and schedules to meet commitments, optimizing work processes and adapting plans as priorities shift while keeping the team focused on the most important outcomes.
• Lead change in the lab by identifying gaps in current practices, testing and implementing improvements, and guiding the team through transitions with clarity, stability, and a focus on driving better results.
