This role involves building strategies for electrification products aimed at JOEM global business (US, India, China), supporting mass production, and handling customer interface operations. You will collaborate and coordinate with various internal departments (development, manufacturing, purchasing, quality) and multiple overseas locations. Management of specifications, schedules, and costs based on customer requirements (QCD) is essential, along with the consideration and execution of sales strategies and participation in customer meetings. As the electrification program for JOEM expands, there will be a strengthening of the organizational structure. You will enhance project management capabilities to accommodate the simultaneous launch of multiple variants. You will be involved in the mass production program of next-generation electrification products from the initial stages, with experience in proposing solutions that delve into customer product and procurement strategies through design standardization. You will act as a hub connecting customers with global development locations, increasing your influence. You will engage in electrification projects that are highly regarded within the Bosch Group, enhancing your presence both internally and externally. Improvement in QCD, risk management, and stakeholder management skills will be part of your responsibilities. You will lead adjustments and decision-making based on facts and logic, standing between customers and the company. You will visualize complex product configurations and supply chains to build trust, extract issues early, and promote solutions while involving stakeholders. You will work with teams in Japan (project, sales, technical) and overseas locations (Europe, India, North America, China) including development, manufacturing, and purchasing teams. Open and constructive discussions are emphasized, with many highly specialized members providing ample learning opportunities. You will operate in an environment with high autonomy and discretion in your work. Domestic travel will be required 1-2 times a week (customer and site visits), while international travel will occur several times a year depending on the situation. Generally, the work style is five days a week in the office, but remote work can be utilized as needed, allowing for flexible working arrangements.
