About the role:
Have you seen the future? Do you look around and see what is happening and have a pretty good idea about how all these tendrils will come together, leading to a different outcome in the manufacturing sector than perhaps the general wisdom?
We are looking for a candidate who understands the history and future of manufacturing, particularly how technology and business collide. A strong knowledge of the major technology trends and how they are being implemented is important. Must have product development experience using PLM in a process industry (preferred), or in discrete manufacturing. We need someone who feels comfortable talking to manufacturing C-suite executives and advising technology companies on how to approach the market. Knowledge of the broader process industry landscape, including how technology, regulation and society are changing and affecting chemicals, metals, paper and pulp and F&B are bonuses as well. People who are creative and curious and have a desire to learn how things work are more interesting for this role than people who are content to rest on a mountain of knowledge. People who have pulled together and published reports, white papers and articles or have presented on stage are desirable.
