Manufacturing Manager APAC

About the Position

We are looking for a Manufacturing Manager APAC to lead and grow our manufacturing solution capabilities in the APAC region. As we scale our customer and partner footprint across APAC, this role will be pivotal in ensuring our manufacturing solutions meet the highest standards.

In addition to leading the team, this role carries a strong hands-on component: you will stay close to day-to-day delivery work, including basic-level configuration, support, and implementation tasks, so you can guide by example and step in where the team needs it.

Responsibilities

Team Leadership and Development

• Lead, mentor, and coach the SEA manufacturing consulting team to achieve personal and operational objectives.
• Manage day-to-day team workload, utilization, and resourcing to ensure capacity to deliver to promise.
• Onboard and upskill team members on manufacturing solution fundamentals and RELEX Plan platform basics.
• Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning within the team.
• Act as the first escalation point for the team on delivery or customer issues.

Solution Delivery and Basic-Level Tasks

• Stay actively involved in end-to-end manufacturing implementations, including hands-on solution design, configuration, and testing.
• Perform and review basic-level configuration tasks on the RELEX Plan platform (business rules, database, workspace) to support the team and ensure quality.
• Translate complex customer requirements into robust solution specifications, balancing current needs with future scalability.
• Support day-to-day troubleshooting and first-line problem-solving for ongoing implementations.

Regional Enablement

• Support regional teams and partners by sharing best practices and upskilling capabilities in the manufacturing domain.
• Contribute to the development of scalable, repeatable manufacturing solution approaches across RELEX.
• Act as the connector between the SEA delivery team and central solution development.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of manufacturing solution capabilities, processes, and ways of working across regions.
• Since this is a role with a global-team dimension, availability to travel internationally is expected.

Requirements

• Excellent knowledge of the RELEX Plan platform, including business rules, database, workspace, and the ability to configure new solutions using these components.
• Prior experience leading, mentoring, or informally guiding a team, alongside a willingness to stay hands-on with basic-level delivery tasks.
• Strong ability and motivation to learn new concepts quickly and put learnings into effective use.
• Proven capability to translate customer requirements into solution specifications, considering current and future functionalities, processes, and tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Solid understanding of supply chain processes and how supply chain planning fits within them.
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives and team priorities simultaneously.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with internal and external stakeholders at all organizational levels.
• Comfortable using AI in your everyday work and contributing to the development of AI tools as part of broader organizational strategies.
• We consider experience from the Manufacturing and/or Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry an additional benefit.

We Offer

• Opportunity to be part of a global community of different cultures, voices, and experiences.
• Authentic and safe environment to celebrate uniqueness and connect through shared values.
• Collaborative environment where you can shape the future and grow with the team.
