Your projects may cover areas such as Manufacturing Execution Systems, industrial data platforms, serialization, artificial intelligence and connected-factory solutions. You will coordinate business stakeholders, technical experts, equipment suppliers, IT teams and external implementation partners as a key connector and translator while co-managing scope, timelines, budgets, dependencies and risks.

You will join the Supply & Value Chain Excellence organization in Baden, reporting to the Team Lead Value Chain Digitalization, and collaborate closely with business leadership, IT and technical experts across our value chain.

• Experience in requirements engineering, process analysis and solution design, with the ability to translate business needs into functional and technical specifications is a must
• Experience with one or more IT system in manufacturing such as MES, SAP, WMS, industrial data platforms, serialization or machine connectivity
• Experience with industrial automation/control systems and IT/OT integration, including PLC/SPS-based equipment, machine connectivity, industrial communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA, Profinet, Ethernet/IP) and their integration into automated production cells is a strong plus
• Experience contributing to factory investment projects (manufacturing equipment), including testing, commissioning or FAT/SAT, is an advantage
• Proven ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders, external partners, budgets, timelines and project risks
• Structured, hands-on and solution-oriented working style, with strong communication skills
