Job Description SummaryDefine and own the global standard for how industrial data moves from manufacturing operations to business decision across Gas Power Global Supply Chain. Positioned as a neutral peer to the Global Process Engineering Authority and Global Process Digital Authorities, this role defines the Integration Contract at the OT/IT boundary, governs how operational signals become business data elements, and ensures every site connects to a single global standard rather than building its own integration. Serves as primary voice in the MIDA engagement and any industrial data architecture decision that affects how manufacturing data reaches the business.
Job DescriptionKey Responsibilities
You will lead the global standard for how manufacturing and operational data moves from the shop floor into enterprise systems across Gas Power. In this role, you will shape how industrial data is structured, governed, and used to support business processes, digital solutions, and AI-enabled decision-making.
As the Global Industrial Data Standards Leader you will:
- Own theIntegration Contract, the global standard that defines how OT data is structured, named, and handed off to IT and enterprise systems.
- Leadchange control governancefor the Integration Contract, assessing cross-system impacts and approving updates before they scale across sites.
- Definedata product acceptance criteriafor MIDA-connected sites, including validation requirements and business-readiness standards.
- Maintain thetarget-state industrial data architecture, ensuring new technologies align with the broader Gas Power digital ecosystem.
- Serve as a key voice inMIDA engagementsand industrial data architecture forums where manufacturing data standards are defined.
Cross-Functional Alignment and Standards Deployment
You will collaborate across engineering, digital, and business teams to ensure industrial data standards are practical, aligned, and adopted globally.
This includes:
- Partnering with theGlobal Process Engineering Authority (GPEA)to define how operational data is structured and handed off at the OT/IT boundary.
- Partnering withGlobal Process Digital Authorities (GPDAs)to ensure downstream data consumption needs are met without disruption.
- Working with theNew Technology Introduction teamto ensure digital and AI solutions meet Integration Contract standards before pilot and scale-up.
- Providing AI readiness guidance, assessing whether data products are complete, structured, and reliable enough to support AI-driven decisions.
- Collaborating withMaster Data Governanceto align operational data standards with enterprise data definitions across SAP and Oracle.
Site Network and Adoption
- Build and coordinate a cross-functional network of site-level representatives spanning GPEA, GPDA, and Digital Technology disciplines who implement and sustain the Integration Contract locally across Gas Power manufacturing sites.
- Establish and chair a cross-functional industrial data standards forum bringing together GPEA, GPDA, and Digital Technology representatives across sites. This forum is the ratification body for changes to the Integration Contract and data product acceptance criteria, decisions made here govern how data flows across the entire Gas Power manufacturing network.
- Monitor Integration Contract compliance across sites, identify deviations, and drive corrective action. Feed lessons learned from each site implementation back into the global standard so every subsequent deployment is faster and more consistent than the last.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- 8+ years in manufacturing, industrial data, or process engineering with direct experience working on both sides of the OT/IT boundary.
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated experience defining and governing data standards in a manufacturing environment, not just implementing them. Has held a standards-setting or formal governance role with measurable outcomes.
- Working knowledge of manufacturing execution systems, ERP (SAP and/or Oracle), and how enterprise systems consume operational data from the shop floor.
- Proven ability to build cross-functional credibility with process engineers, supply chain planners, and technology teams simultaneously.
- Multi-site or global manufacturing scope experience; comfortable driving alignment across teams with different priorities and technical backgrounds.
What Will Make You Stand Out
- Familiarity withindustrial data architecture frameworksin discrete manufacturing
- Experience influencing acrosstechnical, functional, and enterprise governance communities
- A background instandards governance and adoption, not just documentation
- Working knowledge of howmachine data is generated and collectedon the shop floor
- The ability to operate as aneutral, cross-functional leaderin complex environments
- Experience withindustrial data platforms, vendor partnerships, or cross-company data architecture standards
