• Monitor delivery against approved scope, milestones, budgets, quality standards, and expected business outcomes; initiate corrective action when required.
• Conduct risk and dependency analysis, manage mitigation actions, and provide clear technical and analytical guidance to the project team.
• Analyze and document business and technical requirements by liaising with manufacturing users, subject-matter experts, IT teams, and other stakeholders.
• Translate shop-floor and manufacturing processes into scalable digital workflows aligned with broader digital manufacturing objectives.
• Manage collaboration across global factories, vendors, infrastructure teams, business stakeholders, and manufacturing operations to support delivery and adoption.
• Integrate vendor activities into the project plan where applicable, and track, review, and ensure the quality of vendor deliverables.
• Ensure project deliverables meet agreed quality standards and complete the required reviews, approvals, testing, and readiness checks.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of project delivery practices.
• Ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines, while demonstrating safety, integrity, and accountability.

Your background:

• 15+ years of global experience in IT project or program management across manufacturing, digital transformation, and industrial IT.
• Demonstrated experience delivering end-to-end MES and/or ECS implementations in international manufacturing environments.
• Strong manufacturing subject matter expertise and understanding of shop-floor operations, production processes, quality, and deployment readiness.
• Advanced project and program management capability, including planning, scheduling, estimation, resource management, budget control, risk management, governance, and executive status reporting.
• Hands-on experience in requirements engineering and business analysis, including stakeholder workshops, process analysis, specification, traceability, validation, and acceptance criteria.
• Experience with integration readiness, UAT planning and execution, go-live preparation, cutover, hypercare, and operational handover.
• Good understanding of digital manufacturing, machine connectivity, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) concepts and dependencies.
• Experience with relevant tools and platforms used for project delivery, requirements, collaboration, reporting, and manufacturing solution implementation.
• Proven leadership in coordinating cross-functional factory, business, vendor, infrastructure, and technical teams across regions and cultures.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the ability to manage difficult and sometimes complex issues independently.
