Associate Director Product Management - Historian and Visualisation

Overview

Own the lifecycle, reliability and evolution of the AspenTech IP.21 historian, A1PE and visualization platform within GSK's Enterprise Systems team, keeping it current, secure and easy to use for manufacturing teams.

What you'll do

• Own the IP.21 historian, A1PE and visualization platform roadmap, lifecycle plan and technical priorities.
• Plan and coordinate platform upgrades, patches, infrastructure changes and adoption of useful vendor capabilities.
• Work with manufacturing sites and Product Owners to understand common needs and translate them into scalable platform improvements.
• Partner with Architecture, Infrastructure, Cloud and Cyber Security teams to ensure the platform is secure, resilient, supportable and aligned with enterprise standards.
• Coordinate validation and change activities with Computer System Validation and Quality teams in line with GxP and GAMP expectations.
• Act as the key platform contact for AspenTech, delivery partners and contractors, ensuring quality delivery, clear documentation and knowledge transfer.
• Promote common standards for historian configuration, data access, visualization and platform monitoring across sites.
• Manage platform risks, obsolescence, technical debt, service issues and dependencies, escalating material decisions when required.
• Track platform health, usage, reliability and upgrade progress; measure value for manufacturing teams, for example data-access adoption and time to insight; validate the value of a change before scaling it; and use these insights to guide priorities.
• Support continuous improvement of manufacturing data access and visualization while avoiding unnecessary customisation.
• Co-create the product vision and value case with the business, including the expected business outcomes and how user adoption will be measured.
• Lead your team in using approved AI tools to improve productivity and ways of working, role-modelling responsible use and following GSK's Responsible AI, privacy and security requirements.
