[Hiring] Enterprise PLM Business Solutions Lead @Acuity Inc.

Role Description

The Enterprise PLM Business Solutions Lead will partner with the PLM Leader to advance the organization's Product Lifecycle Management strategy and enterprise digital thread. This role will work directly with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Service, IT, and other business functions to identify opportunities, design future-state processes, and develop business solutions using PTC Windchill and connected enterprise platforms.

The position will serve as the primary bridge between business stakeholders and technical delivery teams. It will translate business needs into standardized PLM processes, functional requirements, solution concepts, and implementation priorities. The role will guide how Windchill is configured and used but will not be primarily responsible for software development or deep technical coding.

The successful candidate will combine strong PLM process knowledge, Windchill functional expertise, business analysis, change leadership, and enterprise thinking. This person will help move the organization from fragmented and drawing-centric practices toward governed, part-centric, BOM-driven, and digitally connected product-development processes.

• Demonstrated experience designing or improving PLM business processes.
• Strong understanding of parts, documents, CAD data, product structures, BOMs, workflows, lifecycles, configuration management, and engineering change.
• Experience facilitating cross-functional workshops and converting business needs into future-state processes and functional requirements.
• Experience working with technical teams to guide the configuration or implementation of enterprise systems.
• Ability to evaluate business needs from an enterprise perspective and balance standardization with legitimate functional requirements.
• Strong process-mapping, requirements-management, facilitation, documentation, and presentation skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to communicate effectively with business users, technical teams, implementation partners, and senior leaders.
• Ability to influence decisions and establish alignment without relying on direct organizational authority.

• Experience developing CAD-to-EBOM, EBOM-to-MBOM, process-planning, and plant-BOM processes.
• Experience connecting PLM with ERP, MES, quality, requirements-management, supplier, or service platforms.
• Experience with Oracle ERP or similar enterprise systems.
• Knowledge of model-based definition, digital manufacturing, product configuration, supplier collaboration, and product traceability.
• Experience with PLM governance, data migration, data quality, legacy-system consolidation, or enterprise transformation programs.
• Experience developing business cases, roadmaps, maturity assessments, and transformation metrics.
• PTC Windchill certification, Prosci certification, Lean/Six Sigma training, or relevant business-process credentials.
