Project Manager Production (m/f/d)

As Project Manager Production (m/f/d), you act as the central operational and organizational hub within our Cross-Domain Production. You take full ownership of demanding projects across the entire value chain, lead cross-functional task forces, drive the ramp-up of new products and build the structures that make our production scalable and investable. 

You report directly to the Director Production and work closely with interdisciplinary teams from Engineering, Industrialization, Supply Chain, Quality and our production sites. From day one, you take ownership of your projects, shape cross-functional initiatives and act as the reliable link between Production and all adjacent functions – nationally and internationally.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Independent planning, steering and execution of demanding production projects across the entire value chain.

• Operational and organizational lead of new product ramp-ups: building and steering interdisciplinary launch teams, securing supply readiness and stabilizing serial production.

• Analysis of production data and KPIs to derive actions, escalations and decision papers for Production Management.

• Preparation and support of gate reviews including cross-functional alignment and documentation.

• Independent ownership of topics and special initiatives: structuring, preparing and driving execution with clear accountability for results.

What you bring to the team:

• Completed degree in a technical or business-related field.

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in project management within the manufacturing industry – ideally in high-tech, aerospace or automotive; experience in operationally leading serial ramp-ups and in setting up or scaling production structures.

• Confidence in leading task forces and interdisciplinary teams – also without disciplinary authority.

• Solid command of project management methods (classical and agile) as well as tools such as JIRA, MS Project and Power BI; knowledge of PLM and ERP systems is a plus.

• Strong analytical skills, structured way of working and the ability to quickly grasp complex topics, simplify them and turn them into decision-ready content.

• Confident stakeholder management across all levels, high level of initiative, hands-on mentality and a reliable, results-driven attitude.
