TC PLM Program manager

Not Disclosed

Job Description & Details

This is a senior PLM program manager role focused on driving large‑scale transformation initiatives for a PLM Teamcenter environment. It’s a hands‑on PMO position that sits on‑site in San Jose, coordinating across engineering, IT and vendors.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You’ll own the end‑to‑end PMO rhythm: building and constantly updating project plans, RAID logs, and KPI dashboards. Expect to run steering committee decks, keep the schedule tight, and chase dependencies across business users, engineering squads, IT ops, and external vendors. The day will be a mix of status reporting, risk mitigation workshops, and making sure every rollout – whether a migration, upgrade, or new implementation – follows the governance checklist.

The Core Tech Stack

The non‑negotiable skill is deep experience with Teamcenter (or a comparable PLM suite). You need to speak the language of Item & BOM management, change control, PDM, and CAD integrations because the team will be wiring those processes into the new system. Beyond the PLM tool, you’ll be expected to use classic PM tooling – think MS Project, JIRA/Confluence, or similar – to drive schedules, risk registers, and KPI tracking.

Interview Expectations

  1. “Walk me through how you’d set up a RAID log for a multi‑phase PLM migration and how you’d keep stakeholders informed of high‑impact risks.” – They want to see you can translate abstract risk concepts into concrete artifacts and communication cadences.
  2. “Explain the difference between Item Management and BOM Management in Teamcenter, and how a change in one propagates through the other during a product launch.” – This tests whether you truly understand the PLM domain, not just project mechanics.

Application Advice

Tailor your resume to echo the exact terminology from the JD: “PLM‑Teamcenter,” “large‑scale transformation,” “RAID logs,” “KPI/governance metrics,” and “cross‑functional stakeholder management.” Highlight any end‑to‑end PLM rollout you led, quantify scope (e.g., “managed migration of 5,000+ CAD files”), and list certifications like MP if you have them. A concise bullet that reads “Drove PMO for enterprise PLM implementation, delivering on‑time, on‑budget, with 95% risk mitigation success” will get past most ATS filters.
