Domain Expert - Presales/Solutioning - Manufacturing & Life Sciences Sector

About the Organization:

We are an emerging Data & AI innovation firm working with global enterprises to unlock measurable value from data and AI investments. The organization operates with lean, high-impact teams focused on solving real business problems and delivering outcomes across industries such as manufacturing, life sciences, healthcare, retail, and financial services.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a seasoned domain expert with deep experience in manufacturing, life sciences, or pharma. This role sits at the intersection of business, domain, and AI-driven solutioning. You will engage with senior stakeholders (VP/Director level), lead discovery discussions, and translate complex business problems into structured opportunities where data and AI can drive measurable impact. This is not a delivery or project management role it is a client-facing, pre-sales, and solutioning role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead discovery workshops with senior stakeholders across manufacturing and life sciences organizations
• Translate supply chain, regulatory, and operational challenges into structured problem statements
• Identify opportunities where AI, ML, and data platforms can create business value
• Support pre-sales engagements including proposal shaping and solution scoping
• Act as a domain advisor for delivery teams during project execution
• Contribute to building reusable frameworks, industry POVs, and AI use cases

Core Requirements:

• 12-18 years of experience in manufacturing, pharma, or life sciences domains
• Strong expertise in supply chain operations (demand planning, inventory, batch management, serialization, track & trace)
• Experience with SAP / ERP systems (S4 HANA, SCM, IBP, etc.)
• Understanding of regulatory frameworks (GMP, FDA, EU MDR, ICH)
• Prior experience in client-facing consulting, pre-sales, or solutioning roles
• Ability to connect business problems with data/AI-driven solutions

Good to Have:

• Background in medical devices, specialty chemicals, or food manufacturing
• Exposure to AI/analytics/data transformation initiatives
• Experience with MES, LIMS, or regulatory systems
• Consulting or digital transformation experience

Who This Role is NOT For:

• Pure project managers or delivery leads
• SAP functional consultants with only implementation experience
• Developers or engineers without domain expertise
• Generalist consultants without deep manufacturing/life sciences experience

What You Will Gain:

• Opportunity to work directly with senior stakeholders and enterprise clients
• High-ownership role with strategic impact
• Exposure to cutting-edge Data & AI use cases
• Fast-paced, high-growth environment
