- Support automation, digitalization and AI-enablement initiatives that increase transparency, knowledge reuse and operational efficiency.
- Translate stakeholder needs into tool requirements, user stories, improvement backlogs and implementation proposals.
- Represent Product Support process and tooling requirements in cross-functional project discussions, especially during NPI planning, pilot phases and readiness reviews.

- Use support case and technical escalation context to ensure that processes and tools solve real operational problems without making this a pure technical support role.

- Fluent English skills, both written and spoken; German or Japanese language skills are an advantage.

- Use data analytics to support NPI readiness decisions, including early visibility of known issues, support risks, documentation gaps and follow-up actions.

Nice to Have

- Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, BPMN, process mining, ITIL or service management frameworks.
- Experience in a global service, product support, quality or engineering organization.
