PLM Technical Workstream Lead

Ambu

Own the technical backbone for your workstream. As the Technical Workstream Lead for a specific business workstream (e.g. R&D/PLM), you sit side-by-side with the Global Process Owner (GPO) and Global Process Leads (GPLs) to translate process design into robust and scalable technology across PLM.
