You will manage end-to-end projects within our global IT Build organization, covering ERP, PLM, CRM, supply chain systems, and integrations.

Run/Operations teams retain ownership of support; you will provide Level 3 expertise for complex incidents.

This position will be based in US.

• Provide high-level estimations (effort/costs), resource needs and delivery options.

• Build and maintain delivery plans (milestones, dependencies, resources, budget) and ensure execution.
• Define and run project governance (steering committees, project controls, regular status reporting).

• Ensure documentation is produced and kept up to date (solution, procedures, handover pack).

• Prepare and execute cutover/go‑live plans, communications, training and hypercare.
• Support change management and business readiness activities; ensure stakeholder alignment.
• Ensure operational risk is controlled through readiness checks, testing evidence and structured transition to Run.

• Provide Level 3 functional/technical expertise for complex incidents/major problems (Run remains the ticket owner).
• Support root cause analysis and corrective action plans with Run teams and vendors to prevent recurrence.

• For smaller initiatives (e.g., local apps, workflow automation), facilitate workshops, document requirements and translate them into actionable work items and acceptance criteria.
• For large programmes (e.g., ERP rollouts), coordinate with product owners, business analysts and solution leads to ensure a complete and validated requirements baseline.

• Milestones delivered on time with controlled scope and documented decisions.
• Budget and vendor performance effectively managed with clear accountability.
• Go‑lives executed with stable hypercare, clean operational handover and limited disruption to plants.
