Sr Advanced Project Engr Full Time NEW

Sr Advanced Project Engr

As a Sr Advanced Project Engr in the productivity organization, you will be responsible for managing stakeholders to gather inputs for supply chain, design, and manufacturing improvements. You will be responsible for managing teams to complete prework, running events, auditing events delegated across subject matter experts, and completing post event activities to load opportunities and into the pipeline for the execution teams.

The Event Project Leader acts as both the strategic driver and central orchestrator for key ideation events. This role ensures that savings generated from events are converted into successful seedbed ideas, events are properly staffed and scheduled, and cross-GBE ideation strategy is executed to maximize outcomes.

As a conductor of cross-functional collaboration, the Leader supports best practices, standardization, and quality delivery, guiding the process from prework coordination through post-event conversion. The Leader collaborates with GBE Leaders, Ideation Leaders, and stakeholders to maintain pipeline sufficiency, identify coverage gaps, and contribute to event backlog creation.

You will report directly to the SBG Ideation Leader and you’ll work out of our Bangalore location on a 4/1 hybrid work schedule. The role will require travel to design and manufacturing sites approximately 10% to 20% of engagements for 2-5 day durations on the order of about three times a quarter.

In this role, you will deliver improved profitability and reduced supply chain risk by contributing to the continuous improvement of our high-quality products.
