This role exists to enhance operational efficiency and enable data-driven decisions across our robotics organization. This is a full-time, hybrid, mid-level position focused on successful project delivery that directly impacts our ability to scale.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the end-to-end project lifecycle for key business system implementations, from requirements gathering to launch and support.
  • Develop and manage detailed project plans, including timelines, budgets, resource allocation, and risk mitigation strategies.
  • Analyze existing business processes to identify inefficiencies and define requirements for new software solutions (e.g., ERP, PLM, CRM).
  • Coordinate with department heads in Engineering, Operations, and Finance to ensure new systems meet their functional needs.
  • Manage relationships with software vendors and implementation partners to ensure they meet project milestones and quality standards.
  • Create clear project documentation, including process maps, user guides, and training materials.
  • Communicate project status, risks, and outcomes to stakeholders and senior leadership through regular reporting.
  • Own the successful adoption of new tools and processes, tracking usage and gathering user feedback for continuous improvement.

Success Indicators

  • Deliver 2-3 key transformation projects per year on schedule and within budget.
  • Achieve a 90% user adoption rate for new systems within three months of implementation.
  • Reduce time spent on manual processes by an average of 20% in targeted departments.
  • Maintain a project stakeholder satisfaction score of 8/10 or higher.
  • Ensure system integrations are stable and meet defined data accuracy targets.

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in project management, specifically leading business system or software implementation projects.
  • Demonstrated experience with at least one major digital transformation initiative (e.g., ERP, CRM, PLM, MES).
  • Proficiency in project management methodologies such as Agile or Waterfall.
  • Experience gathering business requirements and translating them into technical specifications.
  • Strong understanding of core business processes in a manufacturing or hardware-oriented company.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for presenting project status to diverse audiences.

Nice to Have

  • PMP or a similar project management certification.
  • Direct experience working in the robotics or advanced manufacturing industry.
  • Hands-on experience with systems like NetSuite, Salesforce, or Arena PLM.
  • Formal training or experience in change management principles.

Work Setup & Collaboration

  • Hybrid role: Expectation of 2-3 days per week in our office for collaborative workshops and stakeholder meetings.
  • You will report to the Head of Operations and work closely with IT, Finance, Engineering, and Supply Chain leaders.
  • This role requires the autonomy to manage project execution and deadlines independently while escalating risks appropriately.
  • Work involves balancing the need for speed with the process rigor required for a hardware-centric business.

About The Team/Environment

You will be a key member of a central operations team dedicated to building the systems and infrastructure needed for our next phase of growth. Our environment is fast-paced and evolving as we transition from legacy processes to more scalable, integrated solutions. We value clear communication, practical problem-solving, and a high-quality bar for project execution.
