This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the architecture, integration, and performance
of PLM technologies. Familiarity with Oracle, FlexPLM, Creo, Windchill, StarLIMS, and
other leading technology is a must. You'll lead a high-performing team while collaborating
across engineering, quality, sourcing, and supply chain to streamline how product data moves
from concept to production and beyond.
Key Responsibilities
• Own the end-to-end PLM ecosystem, including FlexPLM, Creo, and StarLIMS,
ensuring robust system architecture, integrations, and data integrity.
• Oversee the implementation and optimization of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs),
product structures, and configuration processes that support accurate, efficient change
management across design, quality, and sourcing.
• Drive system integration between PLM, ERP, CAD, LIMS, and other enterprise
platforms to ensure seamless flow of product and component data across functions.
• Collaborate with engineering and supply chain teams to align BOMs, component
lifecycle data, and product specifications—ensuring consistency from design through
production and service.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives to automate workflows, improve traceability,
and reduce time-to-market.
• Translate complex business needs into technical specifications, configurations, and
enhancements.
Leadership & Strategy
• Create a multi-year strategy focused on migrating PLM technology to the cloud and the
adoption of AI.
• Lead and develop a team of PLM experts, system architects, and administrators; foster a
culture of accountability, collaboration, and innovation.
• Serve as the strategic bridge between technical teams and business functions including
product, engineering, sourcing, quality, and supply chain.
• Contribute to the broader digital and IT strategy by aligning PLM roadmaps with
enterprise objectives—particularly in sustainability, innovation speed, and operational
efficiency.
• Partner cross-functionally to define future-state workflows that balance compliance,
flexibility, and user experience.• Encourage creativity and a product-mindset when approaching digital problem-solving—
simplifying complex tools into intuitive, usable solutions.
What We’re Looking For
• 10+ years of experience managing PLM systems in a consumer product, manufacturing,
or high-tech environment.
• Deep experience with FlexPLM, Creo, Windchill, and StarLIMS—and how these
systems integrate with ERP and CAD platforms.
• Strong understanding of the PLM technology landscape, cloud solutions, and AI.
• Strong background in ECO management, change control workflows, and
engineering/supply chain collaboration.
• Proven ability to support product development and supply chain functions through
accurate BOM management, variant configuration, and product data governance.
• Leadership experience with technical teams; ability to inspire, mentor, and build trust
across departments.
• Strategic thinker with solid business acumen and the ability to communicate with both
engineers and executives.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (Master’s
preferred).
