• Work across ISC Engineering functions to horizontally align technical talent to projects while partnering with Business Units and functional leaders for delivery excellence.
• Provide E2E project execution from concept development, design transfer, equipment procurement, installation, qualification, and validation across assigned manufacturing sites.
• Ensure commitments are met for cost, schedule, scope, performance, quality, regulatory, and safety.
• Use enterprise-standard governance frameworks including Stage-gate process (IGRS, harmonized with GPDS).
• Serve as project escalation point for complex technical, operational, or organizational challenges.
• Indirectly lead a cross-functional ISC team responsible for process and equipment design and implementation; engage Industrialization Services as needed.
• Establish project execution roadmaps and timelines with clear accountability and decision-making.
• Foster ownership, transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement during execution.

• Strengthen partnerships with plant leadership and operations to ensure readiness, manufacturability, and sustainability.
• Represent ISC Engineering project execution in project update forums.
• Ensure manufacturing sites are fully prepared for new products and capital deployments, including equipment/process readiness, validation strategy and execution (IQ/OQ/PQ), documentation, training, and operational handoff.
• Champion early design for manufacturability, standardization, and scalability to accelerate time-to-market and reduce lifecycle risk.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory, quality, safety, and environmental requirements.
• Provide E2E leadership through vertical ramp-up and launch to meet operational targets prior to plant handoff.
• Report project-level KPIs, dashboards, and performance management systems.
• Lead and/or participate in continuous improvement initiatives to reduce execution risk, improve speed/cost/predictability, strengthen cross-functional integration, and apply best-in-class project management, risk management, and communication practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, or related technical discipline; advanced degree strongly preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in engineering, program management, product development, or manufacturing operations within a large, matrixed organization.
• Proven success leading large-scale NPI and/or large capital investment projects.
• Demonstrated ability to indirectly lead a team of technical talent.
• Deep knowledge of product development, equipment design and validation, and manufacturing operations.
• Executive presence to influence, negotiate, and drive alignment across stakeholders.
