Role Overview
We are looking for a Solution Manager / Integration engineer within our “Digital for Operation” department in Toulouse (or second choice in Belfast, Broughton, Toulouse or Hamburg).
The Mission: Connecting the Digital and Physical Worlds
At Airbus, we are not just defining the future of flight; we are fundamentally pioneering the next generation of aerospace production .
This transformation requires a complete overhaul of our digital ecosystem, and we are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Solution Manager to be a core part of this journey.
This role is far more than a typical management position; you are the essential "translator/connector leader", the indispensable figure who translates the complexity of large-scale SAP architectures and strategic digital roadmaps into tangible, effective realities on our high-pressure shop floors .
You will join the “Digital for Operation” business department, the cornerstone of our industrial transformation.
Within this department, we aim to simplify, streamline, prioritize & unlock the full potential of the latest digital technologies for the benefit of our operations.
The modern industrial landscape is characterized by immense challenges: massive production ramp-ups, rapid technological acceleration, and the inherent complexity of integrating cross-functional ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) deployments across diverse sites.
This is why the Solution Management Team (SMT) , which you will integrate, is so vital.
The SMT acts as the transversal, high-impact unit dedicated to strategic unblocking.
In scenarios where process "ownership" is decentralized, fragmented, or unclear, the SMT steps in to provide the critical clarity, authoritative direction, and structural framework necessary to accelerate value capture and ensure project continuity .
By joining the SMT, you become a catalyst for solutions:
• Structuring: Transforming complex issues into actionable "Epics."
• Arbitration: Removing roadblocks (digital, process, strategic) and clarifying responsibilities.
• Governance: Directly influencing the ERP Roadmap through fine-tuned priority management.
• Delivery: Ensuring the operational handover up to the effective delivery of value.
In summary: You join a commando team whose objective is to transform obstacles into sustainable operational successes for Airbus.
As part of this team, your first assignment will be to support the Belfast integration in our ERP environment after the merge & Acquisition of Belfast’s Spirit activities.
This project aims to move all current activities hosted into Spirit ERP digital ecosystem into our brand new S4HANA based ERP ecosystem.
Regular travel to Belfast facilities is required (multiple times per month).
