About the Role:
In this strategically important role, you will oversee the construction of the facility expansion of our existing manufacturing facility in Japan and the establishment of essential infrastructure and manufacturing lines to support our growing portfolio in the Japanese market.
You will work closely with senior stakeholders, manage a diverse project team, and ensure the successful delivery of all project objectives, including quality, compliance, and budget management.
