This role will develop and execute the AI and automation roadmap, identify high-value opportunities, and deliver measurable improvements in areas such as scrap reduction, downtime, changeovers, quality, and manual processes.

The role also focuses heavily on the people side of transformation, including workforce impact, job redesign, skills development, change management, and frontline adoption.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and execute the organization's AI and automation roadmap.

Build business cases, establish success metrics, and track operational and financial results.
Identify opportunities across manufacturing, quality, planning, back-office, and people operations.
Lead the data foundation required for AI, including machine connectivity, MES/ERP integration, data quality, and data labelling.
Partner with IT and Engineering on plant-floor data, IT/OT architecture, and infrastructure requirements.
Manage external vendors, integrators, and technology partners against defined outcomes.
Work closely with Production, Quality, and Maintenance to ensure solutions are practical and adopted.
Establish AI governance covering acceptable use, data handling, confidentiality, vendor risk, and procurement.
Assess workforce impacts, including changing roles, automated tasks, required skills, and job quality.
Partner with HR and Learning & Development on reskilling, upskilling, training, and change management.
Build trust and adoption among frontline employees and communicate technology changes clearly.
Provide guidance to executive leadership on AI opportunities, limitations, risks, and investments.

Qualifications & Experience

5+ years of experience applying AI, analytics, or automation within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
Hands-on experience delivering technology or automation initiatives with measurable business results.
Experience working with plant-floor data, including PLC/SCADA, historians, MES/MOM, OEE, quality, and downtime data.

An evidence-driven approach focused on measurable results rather than technology for its own sake.
Strong business judgment and the confidence to challenge ideas that don't demonstrate sufficient value.
A collaborative, hands-on approach to working with both technical teams and frontline employees.
The ability to balance technology, business performance, and workforce impact.

Working Conditions

Combination of office-based work and regular presence on the manufacturing floor.

Occasional off-shift or extended hours may be required to support production, deployments, or training.
