See your work come to life on the road—helping make mobility safer, greener, and more connected. Ready to shape the future of mobility with us?

As a Change Manager, you will own the change request (CR) process across complex, multi-disciplinary automotive programs. You’ll coordinate review, analysis and implementation of internal and customer-driven changes, chair/prepare Change Control Boards (CCB), and ensure changes are traceable, costed, planned and delivered with minimal disruption.

Your Role

• Run the CR lifecycle end-to-end: intake, triage, impact analysis (scope, schedule, cost, risk), decision, implementation tracking, closure, and lessons learned.
• Governance: prepare and facilitate weekly CCB/CRB with clear decision records; maintain change baselines and audit trails per ASPICE SUP.10.
• Analysis & reporting: produce executive-ready dashboards on CR volume, lead time, on-time implementation, and cost recovery; escalate risks early.
• Financial control: quantify cost/schedule impact; collaborate with Finance/PM to negotiate cost recovery for customer-driven changes.
• Cross-functional coordination: align Systems/Software/Hardware, Quality and SCM on implementation plans (BOM/requirements/configuration impacts); influence outcomes across teams without direct line authority.
• Continuous improvement: streamline templates, workflows, and tooling to reduce CR lead time and increase right-first-time decisions.

Your background

• Influencing without authority & stakeholder leadership: proven ability to secure commitments and drive delivery across diverse stakeholders (engineering, quality, finance, SCM, suppliers, OEMs) without direct managerial control; strong facilitation (CCB/CRB), conflict resolution, and structured communication skills (from engineers to executives).
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, project/change management, or related.
• 2+ years in engineering change or project management in agile environments (automotive or other complex products).
• Proven experience working with cross-functional engineering teams and delivering to schedule-driven milestones.
• Tooling: Jira (issues/workflows), Confluence; strong Excel; ability to prepare clear, executive-ready reports.
• English C1 fluency; strong written/verbal communication; stakeholder management.
• Analytical mindset; able to structure ambiguous inputs and drive decisions.

Preferred (nice to have):

• Automotive domain experience; ASPICE SUP.10 hands-on; familiarity with ISO 26262.
