Project Lead
Own a product programme end to end, including the commercials, as a Project Lead for Vax in Droitwich, rebuilding new product development for one of the UK's best-known floor care brands. Four days a week on site, driving delivery rather than tracking a plan.
Scope of the Role
As a Project Lead at Vax, you will own a new product development programme end to end, from scope and schedule through to commercial delivery. You will lead across engineering, marketing, operations, quality and suppliers, driving every product to market.
- Own programme scope, schedule, risk and delivery, measured on products reaching market.
- Build the plan and drive progress, rather than maintaining someone else's Gantt chart.
- Lead engineering, marketing, operations, quality and suppliers to one aligned plan.
- Own the commercials, cost, margin and the business case, not just the timeline.
- Force trade-off decisions and remove barriers to keep momentum up.
