  • Provide meaningful insights into the status of active and upcoming prototype builds, targeting on-time delivery.
  • Familiarisation of existing team and business processes with a focus on driving continuous improvement.
  • Management of the BOM across each project/prototype, ensuring accuracy and timely updates in parallel to concept design change.
  • Identify operational challenges, driving effective solutions via clear communication and data-driven analytics.

Required Skills:

  • Proficiency in statistical analysis and data modelling to interpret complex datasets related to project management KPIs, vehicle BOMs and inventory management.
  • Proficiency in various data visualisation and manipulation tools.
  • Experience using SAP products is preferred.
  • Experience within the automotive industry is preferred.
