Job Description & How to Apply Below
- At launch, you will own three global platforms:
Valve technology and solutions serving the fountain category, the core dispense technology behind some of the world’s most recognized beverage brands, and contact toasting technology and product platforms for global multinationals. - This is a build role, not a run role.
- You will stand up a dedicated platform organization that has not existed at MFT before.
- You will define the lanes between platform and region, and you will hold both sides to them.
- You will write the operating model, hire and assemble your teams, appoint your Platform Leaders, set the cadences and decision rights, and define the service contract that connects platforms to regions.
- 12+ years of senior product, platform, or core-technology leadership in a global organization, with full lifecycle accountability for at least one platform from concept through commercialization and sustaining.
- Documented results across regions. Adoption, time to market, cost or margin, or quality and reliability. Numbers you can defend.
- Experience operating where a global team owns the platform core and regional teams own localization, launch, manufacturing, and customer execution.
- Technical depth in electromechanical, engineered product, or equipment platforms.
- Strong grasp of platform economics and the ability to make and defend reinvestment cases at the enterprise level.
- Track record of building a function or operating model from an early state to a delivering state, not only running an established one, and of hiring and developing senior platform or product leaders as direct reports.
