Digital Systems & Process Governance

• During deployment, serve as the site's primary resource for data conversion activities: validate legacy data against new system requirements, make practical decisions on data cleansing scope and prioritization, and own the classification and enrichment decisions needed to load accurate, usable data into the new system before go-live.

• Lead the development and execution of role-based training programs for materials, manufacturing, quality, and maintenance teams, maintaining training curricula aligned with global standards.
• Serve as the primary functional escalation point for digital systems and user-support issues across all covered domains, distinguishing between a local training gap, a process gap, and a standard that needs updating, and routing each to the right resolution path.
• Monitor operational performance indicators related to system utilization, process compliance, and master data quality.

Continuous Improvement & Cross-Site Collaboration

• Identify opportunities to simplify workflows, improve data quality, and increase user productivity without introducing unauthorized local process variations.
