Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) field.
• Experience building launch readiness frameworks, standard work, playbooks, and scalable deployment mechanisms across multiple concurrent sites.
• Experience managing complex infrastructure technology programs or deployments end-to-end.
• Experience defining infrastructure deployment strategies for new technologies where build plans did not previously exist.
• Ability to define infrastructure build requirements and dependencies for new complex technical products.

• Lead cross-functional alignment within a VP organisation, advising Senior Managers and Directors on technical trade-offs, deployment decisions, and infrastructure build prioritisation
• Define infrastructure build requirements and dependencies for new complex technical products; identify when deployment issues stem from technical design issues and provide feedback to engineering teams
• Build scalable deployment mechanisms, frameworks, and tooling that convert first-time deployment complexity into predictable, repeatable process paths adopted organisation-wide
• Make trade-offs between short-term delivery needs and long-term sustainability, using data-driven decision-making and regular metrics review
• Mentor and develop junior deployment engineers, perform TIPM promotion assessments, and drive engineering best practices across the deployment organisation
• Evaluate and deliver large-scale automation technologies including conveyance, sortation, and robotics systems across multiple countries and building types
• Improve, streamline, and eliminate excess process; influence teams to decouple from dependencies and eliminate problems that stifle innovation or cause development collisions
