About the job you’re considering

Capgemini is looking for a Program Manager to manage enterprise PLM transformation programs for strategic North America clients. This role is ideal for someone who can bring delivery discipline, stakeholder coordination, financial awareness, risk management and a client-focused mindset to complex engineering and digital continuity transformations. You will help drive outcomes that connect engineering, manufacturing, IT, operations and suppliers—while supporting clients as they modernize the platforms and ways of working that power product innovation.


Your Role

  • Manage large PLM transformation and Digital Continuity programs from mobilization through deployment, adoption and stabilization.
  • Serve as a key client-facing program leader for client sponsors, program owners, Capgemini leadership and technology partners.
  • Manage delivery governance, budget tracking, risk management, scope control, change governance and value realization.
  • Coordinate blended onshore–offshore teams with clear accountability, quality gates, productivity controls and transparent hand-offs.
  • Create structure across integrated plans, dependencies, milestones, backlog, burndown, executive reporting and decision forums.
  • Support advisory and delivery-led growth through opportunity inputs, proposal support, renewals and follow-on program expansion.
  • Embed AI-powered PLM practices, including AI-accelerated delivery, AI-assisted migration and testing, software factory approaches and augmented-engineering readiness.
  • Build trust with clients and teams through clear communication, stakeholder awareness and collaborative problem solving.
  • Bring client centricity, delivery ownership and practical judgment to complex decisions, risks and trade-offs.
  • Maintain delivery balance through strong structuring discipline across scope, backlog, dependencies, primary and secondary tasks, burndown and reporting.
  • Use delivery credibility to support renewal readiness, follow-on growth and long-term client value.
  • Lead with One Capgemini, end-to-end ownership mindset across teams, geographies, partners and stakeholders.


Your Skills and Experience

  • 15 years managing complex engineering, IT or digital transformation programs, including PLM delivery experience.
  • Program Manager-level experience with multi-site, cross-functional or vendor-supported programs and client stakeholder accountability.
  • Strong financial discipline across budget tracking, forecasting, scope, change control and contractual commitments.
  • Experience with major PLM platforms such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE, Aras or comparable solutions.
  • Proven ability to combine delivery management with advisory support, solution inputs, executive reporting and account growth enablement.
  • Experience leading onshore–offshore delivery models across North America and global delivery locations.


Good to have

  • Engineering-intensive or regulated industries such as Aerospace & Defense, automotive, industrial manufacturing, energy or medical technology.
  • PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe, PLM platform certification or equivalent program leadership certification.
  • Consulting or systems-integration experience, including client delivery, vendor-partner coordination and delivery-led account growth support.
  • Multi-site PLM rollouts, Digital Thread transformation, AI-powered delivery practices, augmented engineering or platform modernization programs.
