About the role:
We are looking for an experienced MES/Automation Coordination Lead who is responsible across manufacturing environments. The candidate acts as the primary customer-facing point of contact, responsible for coordinating and governing offshore MES and Automation delivery teams. The role focuses on stakeholder management, requirement clarification, execution tracking, and issue resolution rather than deep hands‑on system configuration. Ensure effective communication, alignment, and predictable delivery execution between customer stakeholders and off‑site delivery teams in a regulated (GxP) manufacturing environment.
Responsibilities:
Act as the single onsite interface for customer stakeholders (Manufacturing, Automation, IT, Quality).
Facilitate requirement discussions, clarifications, and prioritization.
Manage customer expectations on scope, timelines, risks, and dependencies.
Offshore Delivery Coordination:
Coordinate daily and weekly activities with offshore MES and Automation teams.
Track progress and follow up on deliverables, actions, and dependencies.
Support sprint planning, reviews, demos, and status reporting.
Governance & Execution Oversight:
Monitor delivery progress and proactively raise risks, issues, and changes.
Support fit-gap and solution alignment discussions at a conceptual level.
Ensure adherence to delivery governance and communication cadence.
Quality & Compliance Awareness:
Operate in GxP-regulated environments.
Ensure compliance with approved processes and documentation practices.
Act as liaison between customer QA expectations and delivery execution.
Requirements:
8–15+ years of experience in Manufacturing IT, Automation, or MES environments.
Prior roles may include MES Lead, Automation Lead, Technical Coordinator, or Delivery Lead.
Previous onsite or customer‑facing experience is strongly preferred.
Strong knowledge of pharmaceutical and manufacturing systems.
MES / Automation platform exposure or certifications preferred.
GxP / CSV / CSA familiarity is an advantage.
Core Skills:
Strong coordination, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
Experience in onsite–offshore delivery models.
Ability to bridge business, operational, and technical teams.
GxP awareness and regulated manufacturing experience.
Functional / Domain Knowledge:
High‑level understanding of manufacturing operations and automation layers (L0–L4).
Technical Depth (Nice to Have):
Prior background in Automation or MES.
Ability to understand technical discussions and review functional or solution designs.
German language knowledge is a big plus.
