Your role

We are looking for a PAS-X SPOC & Project Manager to lead on-site delivery for a major MES transformation program in the life sciences sector. This is a uniquely hybrid role that combines strong project and engagement management with genuine, hands-on PAS-X technical expertise. You will act as the single point of contact between stakeholders and the delivery team, providing both technical direction and delivery leadership across on-site and offshore teams throughout the full project lifecycle.

In this role you will play a key role in:

• Acting as the single point of contact for the PAS-X delivery stream on site, leading and coordinating all modelling activities across on-site and offshore teams, and driving planning, prioritisation, delivery tracking, and execution alignment to ensure timely, high-quality outputs in line with approved scope, standards, and project milestones.
• Providing hands-on technical leadership for PAS-X gMBR, MBR, and ESP modelling activities, reviewing and challenging modelling decisions to ensure quality, consistency, reusability, and alignment with approved design decisions, PAS-X best practices, program standards, and the wider MES architecture and integration landscape.
• Performing or overseeing peer reviews, quality checks, and readiness reviews ahead of key demonstrations, dry runs, and testing phases, and proactively identifying, resolving, and mitigating technical blockers, design gaps, and delivery risks before they impact the program.
• Coordinating the work of senior and offshore modellers to ensure clear task ownership, effective workload balancing, and strong delivery focus, while assessing team capability needs and supporting continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and clear documentation of design decisions, assumptions, and open items.
• Working closely with manufacturing, quality, automation, ERP, validation, and MES stakeholders to ensure full alignment between business requirements and technical execution, leading scope clarification, issue resolution, and decision follow-up across the delivery stream.

You have deep knowledge of gMBRs, MBRs, ESPs, electronic batch record design, material and equipment modelling, PAS-X workflows, and reusable design concepts.
• Project and delivery leadership: You have substantial project management experience in MES, manufacturing systems, or digital manufacturing programs, and are proven in leading distributed teams across onshore and offshore delivery models. You are comfortable owning the full delivery lifecycle — from planning and prioritisation through to quality oversight, risk management, and stakeholder reporting.
• GMP and regulated environment knowledge: You have a solid understanding of GMP, data integrity, and validation constraints in life sciences manufacturing, and experience overseeing delivery of complex gMBRs with a high number of basic functions, multiple process variations, or challenging manufacturing scenarios. Experience in sterile, parenteral, packaging, biotech, or similarly regulated environments is a strong advantage.
• Stakeholder management and communication: You are a conf
