This role is newly established and will require the successful candidates to be proactive in shaping the activities of both the role and the function itself. Initially, you will focus on laying the groundwork and defining the structures and strategies that will drive future operations.

• Conducting quality assurance on Lifecycle Data Information products delivered by internal and external experts.
• Being responsible for the escalations from any Engineering service partner and taking part in project solutioning and scoping where needed.
• Acting as a liaison between various departments, you will ensure seamless communication and coordination with stakeholders.

The Lifecycle Data Operations process expertise areas the roles will be responsible of are:

• Product MasterData
• Order Specification
• Service Plan once operational
• Operation and Maintenance Manuals
• Spare Parts Catalogue
• Code Resolution
• Regulatory and Compliance
• Customer and Commercial informed data management

The process experts' goal is to drive data consistency, completeness, accuracy, and quality across the named processes and strongly drive automation, use of modern technologies and adoption of revised ways of working.

The ideal candidate must possess these skills and capabilities:

• Sufficient technical knowledge of maintenance, repair and overhaul data creation and governance as well as understanding of Wärtsilä operational landscape both from a tool and process perspective.
• Ability to link the operational data process with commercial performance is seen as a plus.
• Strong analytical skills and a proactive approach to identifying and implementing process improvements.
• Excellent communication and presentation abilities to effectively engage with various stakeholders.
• Positive attitude and readiness to be part of a freshly established function, supporting creation of the best possible Lifecycle Data Operations CoE for Wärtsilä.
