Responsibilities
Lead deep discovery and customer transformation that coexist with, and leverage CADDi’s AI products and data platform
Build a solutions motion that starts bespoke and becomes repeatable offerings and product features
Architect solution logic: Design the logical architecture for custom applications, defining data sources, transformation rules, user workflows, and success criteria
Deploy custom applications: Own the lifecycle from 'ambiguous problem' to 'production value' on the CADDi platform; translate technical capabilities into operational reality, partnering with our Solutions engineers
Drive adoption and value realization: Pivot from delivery to the factory floor to ensure the tool works for the user and delivers massive impact (e.g., 'reduced RFQ cycle time by 50%')
Engagement with management layers of customers: Establish engagement with management layers of customers (QBRs/value reviews), and provide value realization frameworks and expansion motions aligned to measurable business outcomes
Partner cross-functionally: Work side-by-side with Solutions Architects and Product Management to turn custom wins into scalable features
0→1 focus: Create new frameworks and accelerators for US manufacturing challenges. This is not a project management role; it is a solution creation role
Deep discovery: Spending time with client teams (Procurement, Engineering, Quality) to understand workflows and their current reality
Solution design: White-boarding future states, mapping drawing data to supplier spend to predict outcomes
Collaborative delivery: Partnering with technical teams to build feasible, high-impact solutions, then driving user adoption on the ground
Executive storytelling: Communicate crisply with executives to translate technical progress into P&L impact
Qualification
Required
5-10 years in manufacturing operations: Deep understanding of BOMs, RFQs, and supply chain data. You have lived the pain of these workflows and know why 'clean data' is a myth
Consulting toolkit: Experience at a top-tier management consulting firm or high-growth company; ability to structure ambiguity, communicate crisply with executives, and drive projects to completion
Technical fluency: Data and AI literate. You can explain RAG concepts to a procurement manager and 'dirty data' challenges to an engineer. You bridge the gap between operations and code
Problem solving: Track record of solving challenging operational problems by treating processes as systems to be optimized
Education: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Business Administration (with manufacturing experience), or equivalent
