Forward Deployed Consultant, Manufacturing

Co-author the Sprint charter with the AE: the business problem, its value, our approach, exit criteria, and the partnership proposal that follows success

Run the Sprint end to end—immerse, prioritise, build, read out—developing and testing the solution on the customer's real data and systems

Take manufacturing processes apart and rebuild them on AI-first principles across five workflows: new product development and gate review, quality and continuous improvement, portfolio and program management, operations and launch readiness, and process development and transformation

Build using Miro's AI Workflows, Prototypes, and Goals, Roadmaps & Delivery capabilities, extended through Miro's API, WebSDK, and MCP integrations into ERP, PLM, MES, and quality systems

Turn Sprint outcomes into a business value story, ROI model, and KPI baseline—grounded in metrics the customer already runs on: gate cycle time, requirement coverage at gate, defect recurrence, cost of poor quality, capacity utilisation, on-time launch rate, ramp-to-full-rate time

Support executive leadership in delivering the Value Story read-out to the sponsor

Co-own with the AE the conversion of Sprint outcomes into the partnership proposal and commercial approach

Define the scope of Professional Services involvement post-sale and hand over cleanly

Package what you learn and radiate it—internally to Sales, Marketing, and Product, and externally through thought leadership

8+ years in top-tier consulting, forward deployed engineering, solution consulting, or enterprise transformation , weighted toward manufacturing and industrial environments

Deep understanding of manufacturing operating processes : NPI and stage-gate/APQP, engineering change management, quality systems (FMEA, 8D, PPAP), S&OP and production planning, lean and continuous improvement, maintenance and reliability

Fluency with the industrial enterprise stack —ERP (SAP or equivalent), PLM (Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE), MES, quality management systems—and where the data lives

Credibility with COO, Chief Supply Chain Officer, VP Operations, VP Quality , and Plant General Manager stakeholders

Exceptional GenAI skills: Miro, Cursor, Claude Code and Cowork, ChatGPT, Google and Microsoft suites, MCP integrations, prompt and context engineering. You can build working solutions yourself and orchestrate an AI Engineer when the build demands it

Ability to build a before/after value story with financial and ROI analysis that survives finance scrutiny

A business-problem-first rather than product-first mindset, and the curiosity to take any process apart

Comfort in both the boardroom and the plant

Self-starter who operates independently and under ambiguity

Willing to travel to customer sites up to 40%
