Global Process Lead - Product Design and Engineering Data

Global Process Lead

Are you passionate about designing and improving global business processes?

Do you want to play a key role in enabling transformation by bringing deep domain expertise and driving process excellence?

Ambu is transforming - and this is your opportunity to drive that transformation at scale.

We are strengthening our global process organisation and are building a Global Process Lead (GPL) layer across a range of end-to-end business processes spanning the full value chain - from planning and operations to finance, compliance, and product lifecycle management.

As part of this transformation, we are maturing our global processes, governance structures, and ways of working to support a more scalable and standardised operating model.

A key element of this journey is the implementation and rollout of core enterprise systems such as ERP, QMS, and PLM, enabling improved process consistency and integration across the organisation.

The role

As a Global Process Lead, you support the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of Ambu’s product design process. This includes mechanical design, electrical design, manufacturing process design and managing engineering data across these subprocesses and across our IT systems, primarily our PLM. Specific subprocesses within the PLM include creation of EBOM, translation of EBOM to MBOM and product master data management.

You play a key role in translating business needs into robust, scalable processes aligned with global standards.

Working closely with the Global Process Owners, Subject Matter Experts, technical workstream leads, and stakeholders across functions and geographical sites, you will contribute to process design, support implementation, and help ensure adoption of new ways of working.

This is a high-impact role where functional expertise meets cross-functional collaboration, and where you actively contribute to driving process excellence across Ambu.

Key responsibilities

Process design and domain expertise (primary focus)

• Ensure the design process integrates into the global product development process
• Provide deep functional expertise and ensure high-quality process documentation and standards
• Contribute to defining future-state processes and capabilities that allow our engineers to design products effectively, efficiently and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Establish and maintain Standard Operating Procedures for the Design Processes that setup our engineers for success.

Continuous improvement and execution support

• Identify and drive improvements that improve the product, reduce time to market and ensure regulatory compliance.
• Support implementation of process changes and ensure adoption across regions and sites
• Facilitate workshops and collaboration across functions to refine and improve processes
• Contribute to building a culture of continuous improvement

Stakeholder collaboration

• Work closely with stakeholders across functions, regions, and sites to ensure alignment
• Support communication and anchoring of process changes in the organisation
• Act as a key contributor in transformation initiatives and projects
• Ensure effective collaboration between global and local teams

Suggested candidate profile

You are likely to succeed in this role if you:

• 7+ years of experience from industry or consulting, working within PLM-powered product design
• A strong combination of functional domain expertise and an interest in process design and improvement
• Experience from a similar or related role in an industrial or global organization is preferred, especially from within the medical device industry
• Solid experience working with cross-functional processes and stakeholders in a global context
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills, with attention to detail in process design and documentation
• A collaborative mindset with the ability to engage stakeholders and support alignment across functions and regions
• A proactive and solution-oriented approach, with a continuous improvement mindset
• Willingness to travel regularly as part of a global role, supporting collaboration and implementation across Ambu’s footprint (including the US, Malaysia, China, and Mexico)
• Comfortable working across time zones, with flexibility to occasionally engage outside standard working hours
• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken
