• Promote a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Manage budgets, resources, and staffing.

Process Development & Operational Execution:

• Establish and own the end-to-end support model (Tier 1/2/3 escalation paths, triage workflows, and on-call rotations) for mission-critical enterprise systems.
• Define and track operational SLAs (First Response Time, Time to Resolution, System Availability) to prevent operational bottlenecks on the production floor.
• Build robust feedback loops with core Engineering and Product teams, translating frontline tickets and system bugs into prioritized roadmap features.

Training, Enablement & Change Management:

• Architect comprehensive, role-based training programs and certifications for shop-floor operators, manufacturing engineers, and supply chain teams.
• Design and execute change management plans for new system rollouts, migrations, and major software releases, minimizing operational disruption.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years in software, systems, or manufacturing engineering, including 3+ years leading engineering teams, with experience managing managers or a clear readiness to.
• Demonstrated ownership of enterprise production systems at scale — MES, ERP, MRP, WMS, PLM, or equivalent — including the integration layer between them.
• Strong systems architecture judgment: data modeling, systems of record vs. application layer, integration patterns, and the ability to say what belongs where and why.
• Direct experience delivering software into a live manufacturing environment, with accountability for it after go-live.
• Track record of operating across functional boundaries — manufacturing, supply chain, and planning — and of being trusted by central IT / platform engineering counterparts.
• Able to hold a technical position under pressure from senior stakeholders, and to change it when the argument is better.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience standing up or scaling an internal engineering function inside a manufacturing or industrial company — hiring, leveling, and building the technical bar from scratch.
• Hands-on background with Oracle ERP and modern application/platform stacks built above it.
• Experience with platform models: exposing APIs and extension surfaces to internal builders, and the governance that goes with it (certification, support tiers, deprecation).
• Applied automation, ML, or agent-based workflow experience in an operational setting, including the identity and auditability questions it raises.
• High-rate or high-mix manufacturing, defense production, or regulated environments.
