Jobbeschreibung

Mission Brief

Isar Aerospace is scaling from a high-performing engineering and production organization into a global space company. As we increase production capacity, expand internationally, and industrialize our operations, the way we work must scale as fast as our technology.
Your mandate: help accelerate Isar's transformation into a highly efficient, data-driven, and digitally enabled operations organization. You identify bottlenecks, improve processes, drive adoption of new ways of working, and ensure that core digital systems - PLM, MES, ERP, AI, and analytics - create measurable business value across the full operations value chain.
This is a builder role, not a coordinator role. We need someone who combines analytical thinking with relentless execution, enjoys solving complex cross-functional problems, and is energized by turning ambiguity into results. Success in this role is measured by improved operational performance, stronger governance, faster execution, and sustainable organizational change.
You will work closely with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, Enterprise IT & Data, and the CEO Office to help scale Isar's operating model for the next phase of growth
