Job description

Job Description:

Are you a self-starting transformation driver who brings order to complexity and turns strategic vision into step-by-step reality? Are you a gifted communicator and consensus-builder that can influence senior leaders, break down functional silos, and drumbeat delivery to secure global process standardization? Do you combine strong ERP acumen with a solution-oriented mindset that gets things done even when requirements evolve?

If so, join us as our Project Manager – Transformation Implementation & Coordination and help build the Airbus Material Services 2030 operating foundation!

What the job is…

We have embarked on a multi-year, enterprise-wide transformation program through 2030 to support the long-term growth and industrialization of Satair and Airbus Material Services, and to enable seamless future M&A integration. We are transitioning from a complex, highly customized, multi-ERP legacy landscape to a harmonized, lean operating model powered by a Fit-to-Standard modern ERP.

As the Foundation & Coordination Pillar, we own the transformation across three core streams: Finance, Compliance, and S&OP. This is far more than an IT deployment: it is a holistic reshaping of our global Processes, Methods, Tools and Data (PMTD) to establish a lean, scalable foundation for how our business operates globally.

In your capacity as Project Manager - Transformation Implementation & Coordination, you will:

• Act as the right hand and partner to the Pillar Leader, orchestrating high-impact, cross-organizational projects to accelerate industrialization objectives across Airbus Material Services in alignment with the overall vision.
• Serve as the structured execution and delivery engine connecting strategic direction with stream-level delivery across Finance, Compliance and S&OP to guarantee full execution across the complete pillar portfolio.
• Drive cross-stream and cross-organizational alignment and portfolio integrity, ensuring streams deliver on their roadmaps while maintaining total visibility and control over interdependencies, gaps and risks.

This role is right for you if you are a self-starting, pragmatic deliverer with a high capacity to manage ambiguity. You thrive on taking complex long-term objectives and structuring them into clear, sequential steps, defining your own path forward and maintaining execution momentum in a fast-paced environment.

Travel required: 15%

How you will contribute to the team

• Pillar & Transformation Roadmap: Partner with the Pillar Leader to define and maintain the pillar’s roadmap, translating complex strategic ambitions and bottom-up challenges into practical milestones and deliverables.

Proactively surface risks and drive alignment across streams and pillars. Keep activities moving forward towards the end goal.
• Fit-to-Standard Governance: Ensure technical ERP requirements and Fit-to-Standard methodologies are deeply understood, respected, and enforced across all stream deliverables.
• Strategic Escalations & Executive Briefings: Prepare high-impact decision dossiers, scenario analyses, and progress updates for executive forums and the central Transformation steering.
• Governance & Operating Rhythm: Implement, drumbeat and enhance pillar governance structures, reporting cadences, and budget tracking aligned with central transformation requirements.
• Stakeholder Alignment Beyond Silos: Proactively identify and engage senior stakeholders across functions and organizations in a complex environment to drive alignment on future ways of working, overcome organizational friction and secure global process simplification and standardization.
• Stream Delivery & Interim Ownership: Step in dynamically to support or lead specific workstreams and strategic projects on an ad-hoc basis during critical execution phases or resource gaps.
• Strategic Ad-Hoc Initiatives: Lead high-priority strategic assignments across different domains, regions and functional teams, alongside the Pillar Leader, as the program evolves.
