Senior OT Delivery Lead - DevOps & IIoT

• Champion Dev Ops practices across OT delivery.

Mark Anthony Group is an entrepreneurial drinks company, built from the ground up by thinking differently, innovating and doing the unexpected. Our company is rooted in family values, a bold vision and relentless determination to continuously raise the bar and make a positive difference in consumers' lives. Founded in 1972, we’ve grown organically from a one-person import wine business into an international drinks company whose hallmarks include a portfolio of luxury wineries and iconic beverage brands, including White Claw® Hard Seltzer, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and Cayman Jack.

The Technical Project Manager will drive the delivery of MAB's OT project portfolio across sites, working in close partnership with the Senior OT Program Manager, who is responsible for architecture, solution design, and business analysis. This is primarily a project management role that combines project delivery expertise with strong OT technical knowledge across Digital Transformation, IIoT, Industry 4.0/5.0, Ignition, and Dev Ops.

While implementation is delivered by engineering teams and vendor partners, this role requires the technical depth to shape scope, challenge vendors, manage technical risk, and ensure successful project outcomes. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, multi-project environment where outcomes matter more than perfect execution.
