OT Project Manager (Edge Cloud)
We are looking for an experienced OT Project Manager to support the delivery of the Edge Cloud program across manufacturing environments. This role requires a strong combination of project delivery capability, OT Security experience in manufacturing, and OT Manufacturing experience.
The successful candidate will manage delivery across the full program lifecycle, including discovery, design, infrastructure readiness, migration planning, pilot execution, rollout sprints, testing, service readiness, and transition support. The role will operate in complex site environments where production continuity, validation, security, and coordination across multiple stakeholders are critical.
This is not a generic IT project management role. The candidate must be comfortable operating in industrial / plant-facing environments and must understand the practical constraints of OT delivery in manufacturing sites.
You can expect to:
· Lead delivery of OT workstreams within the Edge Cloud program across manufacturing sites
· Manage the program lifecycle from discovery through deployment and service transition
· Coordinate and drive activities across phases such as:
o discovery and mobilization

o high-level design and low-level design coordination
o infrastructure and network readiness
o hardware procurement and deployment coordination
o migration preparation
o pilot migration execution
o sprint-based migrations and testing
o service readiness and operational handover
· Develop and manage integrated project plans, milestones, dependencies, and critical path items
· Coordinate site readiness with local teams, engineering teams, OT stakeholders, infrastructure teams, and external vendors
· Drive governance, reporting, planning, and stakeholder communication
· Manage project risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, and decisions
· Ensure OT Security requirements are embedded throughout the delivery lifecycle
· Support migration and transition from legacy OT environments to modernized edge infrastructure
· Coordinate cutover planning, validation activities, change control, and hyper care / transition support
· Ensure alignment between program delivery and manufacturing site operational constraints
· Track progress against timeline, scope, and delivery objectives
· Escalate blockers and delivery risks proactively to program leadership
We expect You to:
· Have very good English skills (spoken and written) in order to effectively participate in communication within Global teams
· Have proven OT Security experience in manufacturing environments
· Have proven OT Manufacturing experience
· Have strong experience as a Project Manager delivering OT / industrial / infrastructure /cybersecurity programs
· Have experience managing cross-functional teams across IT, OT, infrastructure, security, vendors, and site stakeholders
· Have experience working in multi-site or complex industrial delivery environments
· Have an ability to travel to manufacturing sites within Europe as required
· Have European citizenship (due to location and compliance requirements)
Good to have:
· Pharma / Life Sciences experience
· Experience in regulated manufacturing environments
· Familiarity with GMP / GxP environments
· Experience in OT modernization, plant migrations, infrastructure refresh, or edge / cloud-aligned industrial programs is desirable
We can offer You:
· Opportunity to be part of a global organization
· Encouraging working atmosphere, engaging activities and extra benefits (e.g. additional medical insurance (covers gym subscription), team events, outreach activities, and other)
· Hybrid work model with remote work opportunities
· Open, modern and ergonomic work environment when working from the office with multicultural community
· Opportunity to grow both professionally and personally (e.g. Udemy) and continuously develop within the domain
· Attractive compensation package: salary (3420-4900 EUR gross/ monthly) depending on competences and language skills you have
