• You’ll engage with our Engineering, Sourcing and Procurement, Manufacturing, and Finance teams to resolve BOM-related issues.
• You’ll coordinate with the Sourcing and Procurement team on cost maintenance and MRP data flow.
• You’ll develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and workflows on how to create PN, BOMs, and issue E/C within the PLM system.
• You’ll help define the process flow on PN and BOM creation.
• You’ll help integrate PLM with other ERP/MRP systems.
• You’ll develop and maintain access control groups(read/write/edit/etc) on the PLM system.
• You’ll be the overall owner on all product-related data definition.
• You’ll collaborate with regional Repair teams on PN requirements regarding tools, components, and assemblies.
  

What you’ll bring:

• A bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• You have at least five years of experience with PLM tools and ERP processes.
• You have at least five years of experience with Bill of Materials setup.
• You have experience in the automotive and consumer electronics industry, with a focus on PLM tools and processes.
• You have database/system integration experience.
• You have technical knowledge of product structure and processes.
• You have proven experience managing complex stakeholder requirements and production program launch.
• You have strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to build relationships with people in different roles and across different levels of VanMoof.
• You have experience in products with SKU complexity, frequent E/C, and hundreds of spare parts at different repair locations.
• You can continuously adapt and prioritize within a constantly changing environment and business requirements.
• You have expert-level Excel skills, especially related to data analysis and complex formulas.
• You have excellent English language skills that mean you can clearly communicate any new processes to all relevant stakeholders.
  

Extremely nice to have:

• Database/System integration experience

• An analytical and logical thought process, with great attention to detail
• Ability to adapt to new challenges
