About the role

You will partner with business stakeholders across Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, HR, Quality, Engineering and other functions to understand their needs, turn them into IT initiatives and align them with Wabtec's global application strategy. You will also judge whether a business need can be met with existing global solutions or requires a new IT project, and lead pre-project assessments, feasibility studies and business cases when needed.

Key responsibilities

• Act as the primary IT contact for business stakeholders and challenge and refine their requests so that objectives and expected outcomes are clear.
• Translate business requirements into structured IT initiatives and review requests against existing global applications, platforms and programs, coordinating handovers to global IT teams when a suitable solution exists.
• Lead discovery workshops, conduct preliminary assessments and manage feasibility studies and business cases.
• Manage projects in line with the IT PMO structure and process, and raise issues that block projects.

Required profile

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 5-7 years of experience in IT Project Management, Business Applications, Business Analysis or IT Business Relationship Management.
• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial or operations-driven environment is strongly preferred.
• Proven track record of turning business requirements into digital or software-based solutions.
• Experience with ERP, MES, Supply Chain, HR, Finance or other business applications.
• Experience managing feasibility studies, business cases and application deployment projects.
