Preferred Qualifications * Bilingual English/Japanese (business level) preferred, not required - substantial direct floor contact. * Prior change delivery in Japan/Japanese manufacturing; multi-language training content and translation QC. * Experience retiring legacy tools; familiarity with SAP Digital Manufacturing, Fiori, hand-held interfaces; Prosci certification a plus. Language & Engagement Fluent English required; business-level Japanese a strong advantage, not a condition of appointment - interpretation support and bilingual pairing provided. Full-time, Explore through Deploy and hypercare, with substantial on-site presence across shifts during training, cutover and hypercare. Reports to the Program Manager. ## Description 1 Shop-floor change management for a paperless transformation - moving operators, inspectors, planners and technicians off paper/Excel/legacy tools onto real-time SAP process. 2 Multi-language, multi-shift training delivery across four plants, in Japanese alongside other floor languages. 3 Key-person knowledge capture - documenting business logic held in individuals' spreadsheets and heads, a named program risk. 4 Adoption measurement - defining per-role adoption, measuring through hypercare, and acting on the data rather than declaring success at go-live. Role Overview This program moves a paper-, Excel- and point-tool-based manufacturing operation to real-time, paperless, standard SAP process across four plants and two divisions. The OCM and Training Lead owns the human side of delivery end to end: stakeholder engagement, communication, business readiness, role-based training, knowledge capture and adoption measurement, across a multi-shift operator population working in part in languages other than Japanese. Key Responsibilities * Own the change management and training strategy across all four workstreams and all four plants, integrated into the master program plan. * Run change impact assessments by role, division and plant, and the stakeholder engagement/communication plan from executives to shift operators. * Design and deliver role-based training - curricula, work instructions, hands-on practice - for shop-floor dashboards, quality capture, hand-held terminals, planning and costing. * Own the language strategy for end-user content (Japanese plus other floor languages), including translation and terminology governance. * Lead structured knowledge capture from key individuals on lot-numbering, allocation, planning and inspection logic. * Build the super-user network and business readiness criteria feeding go/no-go decisions; define and act on adoption metrics through hypercare. * BATCH MANAGEMENT & TRACEABILITY - PREFERRED, NOT REQUIRED Not a configuration role, but the program's largest behavioral changes sit in lot and batch handling - a lead who understands the paper-to-system shift in lot creation/splitting and quality-driven batch status will build materially better training. ## Related Videos - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [The Algorithm That Nearly Killed Me: When Testing Isn't Enough](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2110-the-algorithm-that-nearly-killed-me-when-testing-isn-t-enough) - [From Global Capability Centers to AI-Powered Command Centers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100096-from-global-capability-centers-to-ai-powered-command-centers) - [Replacing Excel with SAP APIs & Python validation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1944-replacing-excel-with-sap-apis-python-validation) - [Where we're going we don't need JavaScript - Programming with Type Annotations](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/455-where-we-re-going-we-don-t-need-javascript-programming-with-type-annotations) ## Related Articles - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [Best Companies to Work For in Berlin: Top 14 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/188-best-companies-to-work-for-in-berlin-top-14-companies-in-2023) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j)
