• Work on high‑profile, impactful programmes to define, design, and deliver Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) capabilities that improve speed to market, product quality, regulatory compliance, and cost performance.
• Bring strong PLM business consulting skills (process, data, governance, operating model, and change) and a clear perspective on how digital continuity across engineering, manufacturing, and service unlocks measurable value.
• Collaborate with stakeholders at all levels to shape the PLM vision, target operating model, roadmap, and translate business outcomes into requirements for people, process, and technology.
• Help clients improve core lifecycle processes such as requirements and configuration management, product data management, BOM and variant management, change control (ECR/ECO), product costing, and compliance.
• Support the selection, implementation, and adoption of leading PLM and adjacent platforms, working with solution architects and delivery teams to ensure designs meet business needs and are fit for scale.
• Familiarise with the use of Agentic AI for digital continuity.

Business Development & Personal Growth

• Business Development – Lead or contribute to proposals, RFPs, bids, proposition development, client pitch contribution, and client hosting at events.
• Internal Contribution – Campaign development, internal think‑tanks, whitepapers, practice development (operations, recruitment, team events & activities), offering development.
• Learning & Development – Training and certifications to support career development and the skills demand within the company.

Qualifications

• Experience working in a consultancy environment and/or delivering internal business improvement initiatives with strong stakeholder management skills.
• Solid understanding of end‑to‑end product lifecycle processes and how PLM enables digital continuity across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and service.
• Experience defining target operating models, governance, roles, and responsibilities for PLM (e.g., data ownership, design authority, change control and configuration governance).
• Practical experience improving core PLM business capabilities such as requirements and configuration management, EBOM/MBOM alignment, variant management, ECR/ECO, and product compliance.
• Strong data and information management skills (product structures, classification, metadata, master data, data quality) and familiarity with integration patterns (PLM–ERP–MES–ALM).
• Experience supporting PLM selection, implementation, and adoption, including requirements definition, fit‑gap analysis, vendor evaluation, UAT support, and benefits/value tracking.
• Working knowledge of one or more PLM platforms such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE/ENOVIA, SAP PLM, Aras Innovator, or Autodesk Fusion Manage.
• Understanding of adjacent domains and methods such as MBSE, ALM, digital thread/digital twin, systems engineering, and model‑based product definition.
• Proven ability to succeed in a matrixed organization and to enlist support and commitment from peers in selling and delivering consulting solutions.
• Experience contributing to propositions, thought leadership, and business development activities (e.g., proposals, RFPs, client pitches, and asset development).
