About the role
You will own how product changes get from idea to successful execution, treating every significant change as a project: defining scope, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, managing timelines and dependencies, and driving it to verified implementation. You'll also own the integrity of key master data and lead a team of CAD, drafting, and BOM specialists.
Key responsibilities
- Own Change Record (CR) and master data outcomes end to end, including timeliness, accuracy, and implementation quality
- Identify problems early, drive them to root cause, and put corrective actions in place rather than working around them
- Own the full CR lifecycle in SAP, from creation and review through approval, successful implementation, and closure
- Manage complex or high-impact changes as projects, with defined scope, owners, milestones, dependencies, and risk tracking
- Facilitate regular CR Review meetings with Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing, Service, and other stakeholders
- Coordinate cross-functional execution, including cut-in planning and inventory disposition
- Publish regular CR status reports and metrics, including aging and overdue items
- Verify that changes are fully implemented across drawings, BOMs, and affected systems before closure
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of CAD, drafting, and BOM professionals
- Continuously improve efficiency, accuracy, and cycle time across CR and master data processes
About you
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
- At least 7 years of experience in engineering change management, product development, PLM, configuration management, or master data in a manufacturing environment
- Demonstrated project management experience leading cross-functional work to on-time completion
- At least 5 years of experience supervising or leading a team
- Solid understanding of engineering drawings, CAD models, and BOM structures
- Experience with SAP engineering change and master data preferred; strong candidates with other ERP/PLM experience will be considered
- Strong reporting skills using Excel, Power BI, or similar tools
- Excellent written and spoken English, with confidence leading meetings with global stakeholders
- Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable driving accountability across teams you don't directly manage
