Experience developing business cases and tracking value realization for technology investments. Working knowledge of MES, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), data historians (e.g., OSIsoft PI System), and manufacturing analytics platforms. Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to translate technical concepts for executive audiences and operational realities for technical teams. Ability to travel to manufacturing sites approximately 25–30% of the time (confirm with HM whether this is a hard requirement).
