Qualifications

• 8+ years in top-tier consulting, forward deployed engineering, solution consulting, or enterprise transformation, weighted toward manufacturing and industrial environments.
• Deep understanding of manufacturing operating processes: NPI and stage-gate/APQP, engineering change management, quality systems (FMEA, 8D, PPAP), S&OP and production planning, lean and continuous improvement, maintenance and reliability.
• Fluency with the industrial enterprise stack-ERP (SAP or equivalent), PLM (Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE), MES, quality management systems—and where the data lives.
• Credibility with COO, Chief Supply Chain Officer, VP Operations, VP Quality, and Plant General Manager stakeholders.

• Ability to build a before/after value story with financial and ROI analysis that survives finance scrutiny.
• A business-problem-first mindset, and the curiosity to take any process apart.
• Comfort in both the boardroom and the plant; self-starter who operates independently and under ambiguity.
• Willing to travel to customer sites up to 40%.

Responsibilities

• Partner with senior executives—COO, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Chief Digital Officer, VP Manufacturing, VP Quality to define an AI transformation agenda.
• Lead the initial CxO conversation that creates awareness of what AI makes possible for the business.
• Qualify opportunities before committing to a Validation Sprint: sponsor authority, commitment, and the account's potential to become a multi-year, seven-figure relationship.
• Co-author the Sprint charter with the AE: the business problem, its value, our approach, exit criteria, and the partnership proposal that follows success.
• Run the Sprint end to end—immerse, prioritise, build, read out; develop the solution on the customer's real data and systems.
• Take manufacturing processes apart and rebuild them on AI-first principles across five workflows: NPI/gate review, quality/continuous improvement, portfolio/program management, operations/launch readiness, process development/transformation.
