Job Description
**Manufacturing Project Excellence Manager** | Bengaluru | Full-time | INR 13.6-31.8 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Project Management (Manufacturing), under the Manufacturing vertical
- Level: mid level
- Reports to the functional head for Project Management (Manufacturing)
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core project management (manufacturing) activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Project Management (Manufacturing) regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**
- Project Management (Manufacturing)
- Inventory & Material Planning
- Six Sigma/Lean Manufacturing
- Industrial Engineering
- Production Planning
- Quality Assurance/Quality Control
- ERP (Production Module)
- Safety Compliance
- Diploma (Production Engineering)
- 7+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.
- Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
- The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
- Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
- Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving.
- The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done.
- Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone.
- Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process.
- The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
