This transformation requires a complete overhaul of our digital ecosystem, and we are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Solution Manager to be a core part of this journey.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM 

As part of this team, your first assignment will be to support the UK integration in our ERP environment.

• Governance: Act as a content authority within our Multi-Functional Teams (MFTs), ensuring all SAP developments align with our "Fit-to-Standard" approach to minimize local customization while putting the customer experience &  overall operational efficiency at the heart of everything ⇒ Compromise finder is a key word for your position.
• Executive Communication: You don't just "talk tech." You distill highly complex SAP logics into clear, business-driven visualizations that secure buy-in from top-level stakeholders.
• Operational Excellence: You will drive the reimagining of E2E flows to support our aircraft production ramp-up goals.
• Bridge the Gap: Collaborate hand-in-hand with our IM (Information Management) department and site operations to find the right compromise between system standards and business value.

ABOUT YOU

• Must have experience in complex, high-regulation industries such as Aerospace, Automotive, or Defense.

• Proven ability to navigate SAFe/Agile methodologies while leading significant Change Management initiatives.
• Have a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or Logistics.
