Purpose

Own and evolve the Project Portfolio Management (PPM) application area within Global PLM – today Planisware Orchestra, HYPE (innovation management) and Requirements Management (ReqSuite) – the front end of the product lifecycle feeding the PLM/PDM backbone. As IT/Digital counterpart to the business, this role owns the how – solution, platform, integration and lifecycle – while product owners (e.g. R&D) define the what and why; it actively drives the area. The role is defined by its capability, not by a single tool: it secures today’s platforms, integrates them into the PLM landscape and shapes their evolution in line with LIXIL’s Global PLM strategy and enterprise architecture.

Main Role/ Responsibilities

• Act as the accountable IT/Digital counterpart for the PPM area: establish and run the ownership model with business product owners (e.g. R&D, portfolio management) – what/why vs. how – challenge and shape requirements, and drive solution decisions
• Define PPM system requirements based on business objectives, user needs and regulatory requirements, and design, implement and optimize the resulting process and system changes
• Design and implement integrations between PPM platforms and adjacent enterprise systems, such as PLM/PDM, ERP and reporting/BI, to ensure end-to-end data consistency across the product lifecycle
• Build out Requirements Management as an integrated capability together with the Global PLM team, connecting requirements to the product development data thread
• Evaluate and recommend PPM and Requirements Management technologies and platforms; lead or contribute to tool evaluations, migrations and platform transitions
• Apply LIXIL architectural and data governance standards, guidelines and best practices to the PPM ecosystem and align solution designs with Enterprise Architecture and the Global PLM target architecture
• Manage vendors, licenses and total cost of ownership of the PPM landscape; collaborate with IT teams and vendors to ensure availability, scalability and security of the platforms
• Actively contribute to project planning, scoping and design activities; represent IT/Digital in business-facing discussions within the PPM area
• Ensure adherence to system standards, documentation and compliance requirements; mentor and support colleagues through structured guidance and knowledge sharing as the PPM capability grows
