We are looking for an experienced Product Lifecycle Management Consultant or Key user, within depth knowledge of PLM applications and new product introductions.

As part of the Global Data Team, based in our Headquarter in Salzburg, you'll be responsible to support our senior line managers in the development of new processes and features, and will translate business and process requirements to functional concepts as a basis for technical implementation.

In this very visible strategic role, you will manage and track projects independently, ensure a holistic end-to-end view, highlight cross functional dependencies, and align business needs and target state with multiple stakeholders. By driving digital transformation, you'll act as a key player in optimizing our "idea to BOM" process and master data structure.

Areas that play to your strengths

All the responsibilities we'll trust you with:

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND DOCUMENTATION

As a member of our team you'll collect, derive and challenge business requirements and align them with cross-functional stakeholders. By providing an objective and holistic perspective you avoid isolated solutions and secure end-to-end integration of all anticipated changes. By applying your conceptual strength and product lifecycle know-how you'll shape our process and system level to increase maturity levels. Securing a structured and detailed requirement documentation (so called BSS - Business Scope Statement) as well as handing it over to IT are also part of your responsibility.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

You define and schedule work packages and set up realistic project timelines in alignment with our IT, considering resources and overall constraints. You'll track and document project progress and milestones in our project management and monitor implementation budgets. In alignment with our portfolio management team, you'll ensure reporting and escalation to our senior management.

WORKSHOPS & MEETINGS

You'll prepare and host project meetings and workshops to work efficiently on the development of new system solution designs. You also contribute to steering meetings with our senior management to get direction on open decisions and questions.

STAKEHOLDER & RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Keeping all required stakeholders in the loop and informed about insights and status of your assigned projects will be part of your responsibility as well as to have an overview of required and available resources and highlighting potential bottlenecks.

TESTING AND HANDOVER

You'll be responsible to test all implemented solutions to ensure high quality and functional integration of all technical developments. Effort and progress of testing will be also documented and tracked by you. After successful testing you'll introduce and hand over the new process to the data quality team. Training preparation and documentation are also part of your role as well as facilitating and hosting of those trainings.
