- SaaS Advocacy: Research and implement modern SaaS applications, ensuring they align with existing business rules and future-state workflows.
- Resource Coordination: Manage internal teams and third-party deployment partners to meet aggressive timelines while maintaining project scope.
- Stakeholder Liaison & Solution Design
- Business-to-Tech Translation: Translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable business requirements for non-IT partners.
- Requirement Documentation: Design and document formal Business Requirements and Readiness Planning documentation.
- Design Thinking: Facilitate workshops to create future-state process visions, advocating for a shift from "application-centric" to "process-centric" design.
- Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop team members

- Methodology: Familiarity with process improvement frameworks such as Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, or BPR.
What are the preferred qualifications?
- Previous manufacturing industry experience is a plus
To be a great fit for the role:
- The "Self-Starter" Mindset: A proactive individual who influences events rather than passively accepting them.
- Critical Thinking: Ability to solve complex problems, prioritize competing issues, and implement sensible, tactical solutions.
- Global Communication: Exceptional ability to build partnerships across all levels of a global organization and lead through influence.
- Resilience: An ethical role model who thrives under pressure and can navigate the complexities of a global, multi-site environment.
