Role Context and Collaboration

The assignment is highly collaborative, particularly at the outset. Decisions regarding project structure and execution will be made jointly on a daily basis to ensure alignment with all stakeholders.
Over time, less frequent alignment will be required as the project progresses.
The position is initially envisioned as a temporary external resource, serving to bridge the gap until a permanent internal solution is found. If suitable, the selected candidate may have the opportunity to transition into a permanent role.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

Work with the Digital Service Center to identify pain points; deliver a comprehensive pain point map.
Gather and document all available and involved applications, core services, and assets—resulting in a core service and asset register (including foundational Siemens-level services).
Support identification and design of optimal operational workflows; deliver improved workflow designs.
Link pain points to workflow improvements, generating detailed requirement breakdowns.
Develop architectural concepts across multiple systems and solutions, describing the target state for design and operations; deliver operational blueprints.

Provide strategic guidance and a holistic “north star” vision for how systems should evolve operationally, creating a foundation for future development.
Additional work packages may be identified as the collaboration progresses.
