Strong stakeholder management skills, from shop floor to senior exec levels.

Excellent planning, risk management and financial acumen.

Strong communication and leadership skills, ability to motivate a diverse team, drive accountability and deliver results.

Preferably experience in advanced manufacturing, materials, process development or similar, but we're open to strong generalist project managers with the right mindset and transferable skills.
