This pivotal leadership role sits at the heart of our mission to scale Production Optimization Solutions—solutions initially co-developed with Innovation Customers—by standardizing, testing, documenting, and managing a technology stack built on interoperable elements from the Industrial Operations X Portfolio. The focus: transforming the operations workforce through AI-powered copilots and advanced automation.

• Define the commercial playbook: Establish pricing, terms, buyer journeys, and marketplace strategies for bundled solution offerings.
• Build fast, build smart: Set up agile system integration and solution development processes, and oversee the creation and maintenance of integration components (glue code).
• Bridge customer needs and tech delivery: Ensure seamless alignment between what customers need and what your team delivers.
• Collaborate across the enterprise: Work cross-functionally with Sales, Service Execution, and external partners to ensure smooth handoffs and successful implementations.
• Drive disciplined execution: Lead program governance, manage risks and dependencies, and ensure adherence to project management best practices.
• Own stakeholder relationships: Manage expectations, resolve ambiguity, and navigate technical and organizational challenges throughout the solution lifecycle.
• Handle escalations with confidence: Step in when needed to resolve issues in collaboration with solution owners and other stakeholders.
• Accelerate innovation cycles: Champion market-driven solution development by coordinating requirements, architecture, testing, documentation, and lifecycle management—bringing customer-centric solutions to life faster.
