Your new role:
Reporting to the IM&T Defence Delivery Program Manager, you will be responsible for the planning and delivery of complex projects that focus initially on manufacturing optimisation leading to digital manufacturing transformation.
You will provide leadership to a small project team and work closely with functional teams and stakeholders to plan, execute and deliver a Material Requirements Planning (MRP) capability that BAE Systems need to operate a modern manufacturing facility.

More specifically you will be accountable for:

• The planning and delivery of straightforward to complex projects of up to $10M and vendor contract delivery is a requirement
• Ensure adherence to the project management methodology, governance and assurance practises followed by the IM&T PMO team and the broader BAE PMO standards where relevant
• Taking end-to-end accountability for the successful delivery of Technology projects, from concept through to completion where sought outcomes are achieved within agreed timelines and budgets
• Compile required investment board submissions to allow the relevant decision makers to make informed decisions
• Provide sufficiently detailed project status reports to the leadership including to Steering Committees
• Work with BAE's procurements team to execute diligent supplier selection practices that include preparation of tender materials, evaluation of tender responses and negotiation of scope, pricing and delivery timeframes
• Identify project resourcing needs and manage demand to meet current and future needs

About you
As an ideal applicant for this opportunity, you'll have:

• Project management experience in delivering an ERP transformational project, specifically manufacturing domain knowledge. Oracle MRP system experience while desirable, is not essential provided that the candidate has broad manufacturing experience i.e. process, data and tools
• Proven experience in managing software lifecycle development and deployment of projects: Drive requirements definition, analysis, gaps and outcomes to ensure solution recommendations are fit for purpose
• An end-to-end understanding of the manufacturing lifecycle (engineering, resource, cost and quality planning, supply chain management, production scheduling and outputs) is critical to managing the diverse and complex business stakeholders
• Ability to build and nurture productive relationships with stakeholders at all levels and across functional teams. An appreciation of broader functional areas (such as Engineering, Commercial, Finance, Procurement, SHE, Change Management and Quality) and impacts is critical in being able to manage expectations, build consensus and agreement on solution outcomes and commitment on activities
• Have great communication skills (written and verbal) and stakeholder management experience; partnering with internal and external parties to understand and articulate outcomes being sought by the project
• Have relevant qualification in Project Management (e.g. PMI-PMP) and have experience working within organisations that followed either PMI, Prince2 or Agile methods
• Experience using MS Project, Confluence and Jira
• The eligibility to secure and retail Defence Industry clearance i.e. NV1
