- Acting as the single regional point of contact between the North American sites and the global platform and product teams.
- Leading adoption and change management at the sites, covering readiness, communication, training, super-user networks and reinforcement after go-live, and measuring usage and adoption for platform steering and the QBR.
- Measuring value realized at the sites against business cases using the common value framework, reporting digital incidents from the sites to the product teams, and escalating regional risks, dependencies and blockers.
- Capturing, qualifying and channeling regional demand into the demand intake process with no local parallel solutions, applying "standardize where possible, differentiate where needed" and defending only genuine regulatory or business-critical deviations.
- Supporting annual digitalization targets with site management, providing performance input for site Digital Representatives in North America, resolving capacity or priority conflicts, and covering sites without a named Digital Representative on an interim basis.
- Taking an active role in the global manufacturing digital communities (TGAI, FFP and Biologicals), keeping member engagement high, and spotting AI and automation opportunities at the sites to bring to the product owners.

- Demonstrate the ability to connect digital capabilities with measurable operational value and business outcomes.
- Have experience working in agile environments, including product ownership, backlog management, OKRs, and prioritization.
- Excel at stakeholder management, effectively partnering across business and digital teams while promoting standardized, scalable solutions over local one-off requests.
- Possess strong communication, collaboration, and influencing skills.
- Are fluent in English; French or Spanish is a plus.
- Are based in the US and willing to travel up to 20% to manufacturing sites.
