• Standardization: Reducing the "Airbus Customization" debt by leveraging APICS and by consequence  applying SAP Standard Best Practices.
• Shop Floor Integration: Leading the integration between S/4HANA and the Execution to ensure real-time visibility of the "as-built" vs. "as-planned" status.
• Project Management: Managing  the Gantt and running the dependencies (cross initiatives and cross project lifecycle: Product Increment, waterfall,...)
• Risk Management: Proactively identifying bottlenecks in the digital twin of the production line.
• Network Management:Collaboration with the best SAP architects and Industrial Leads across the European/US/CH/IND, to lead international workstreams and manage diverse stakeholders (IT, Plants, and Central Functions)

ABOUT YOU:

• Expertise Level: Senior / Principal + APICS & PMI  certifications
• Production Planning "Appetence": Specific experience with Constraint-based Planning and Synchronized Planning between global supply chains and local Assembly Lines.
• Airbus Knowledge/Project management: Familiarity with Airbus "Quality Gates" and the transition from legacy environments (R3 and ECC6) to S/4HANA/Cloud is highly desirable.
