  • Collaborate with Commercial, Operations, Technical, Packaging, Process, and OPEX teams to support successful launches.
  • Support the management of project critical paths to ensure key milestones are achieved.
  • Identify and support continuous improvement opportunities within ways of working and project delivery.
  • Participate in customer visits, product presentations, and corporate events as required.
