Responsibilities

Strategic Resource Optimization

Capacity Optimization: Maximize the value of our existing talent pool by identifying opportunities to balance global workloads. You will smooth 'peaks and valleys' in demand by proactively recommending schedule shifts or global resource reallocation

Scenario Planning: When demand exceeds capacity, provide leadership with data-driven 'Trade-Off Scenarios' (e.g., 'To start Project A on time, we must pause Project B or reduce its scope')

Utilization Analysis: Monitor resource utilization rates across the hubs (Sweden, TN, Asia). Identify under-utilized pockets of talent and bottlenecks to ensure we remain efficient within our SG&A budget

Master Data & Top-Level SKU Strategy

Portfolio Rationalization: Analyze our Top-Level SKU (Finished Goods) portfolio. Identify 'Long Tail' configurations or low-volume regional variants that create disproportionate complexity for the business

SKU Proliferation Control: Partner with Product Management to analyze the impact of new SKU requests. Provide data on the 'Cost of Complexity' before new top-level items are approved

Process Efficiency: Analyze the cycle time of item setup processes. Optimize the workflow to remove administrative drag, ensuring our data practices support speed-to-market

Dashboard Modernization: Lead the migration of our Executive Portfolio reporting from Excel to PowerBI. Transform manual spreadsheets into automated, interactive dashboards that provide real-time insights to leadership

Microsoft Stack Architecture: Serve as the owner of our core PMO stack (MS Project, Excel, PowerBI). Ensure these tools are integrated to provide a seamless view of the portfolio

Innovation: Actively explore and pilot AI-driven productivity tools (e.g., MS Copilot, Claude) to automate routine reporting and improve predictive accuracy

Budget Integrity: Track R&D Budget vs. Actuals (CAPEX/OPEX). Partner with Finance to ensure labor capitalization is accurate and that the portfolio remains within approved fiscal limits
