Overview
We are looking for a senior technology and transformation leader to take ownership of one of Aston Martin’s most significant digital manufacturing programmes – the selection, implementation and deployment of our future Manufacturing Execution System (MES) across multiple production facilities.
This role focuses on reimagining manufacturing execution across Aston Martin, creating a consistent, connected and scalable capability that supports the next generation of products, plants and technologies. The goal is to establish a single enterprise MES platform that connects people, processes and systems across Gaydon, St Athan and Wellesbourne, enabling greater efficiency, traceability, quality and operational insight.
Responsibilities
• Own the end‑to‑end programme, from defining the vision and roadmap through to partner mobilisation, deployment, adoption and value realisation.
• Establish a programme structure that balances pace and control, working with senior leaders across the business to manage executive engagement, steer programme direction and navigate complex decisions.
• Lead delivery across solution design, integration, data, testing, change management, cutover and early life support, ensuring a focus on outcomes rather than activity.
• Shape future manufacturing execution, from production control and workflow execution to quality management and traceability, and integrate MES into Aston Martin’s broader digital ecosystem.
• Oversee integration with enterprise platforms such as ERP systems, helping to create seamless connections between manufacturing operations, enterprise systems and the technology platforms that support next‑generation vehicle architecture.
Qualifications
• Proven experience leading enterprise‑scale MES programmes, delivering transformation within complex manufacturing environments.
• Strong track record of managing large programmes involving multiple partners, system integrators and cross‑functional teams.
• Ability to balance strategic vision with hands‑on delivery leadership and to translate technology investment into measurable business outcomes, driving adoption, operational improvement and long‑term value creation.
• Experience in automotive or another complex manufacturing environment is highly advantageous, alongside a solid understanding of manufacturing operations, process standardisation and MES integration with wider enterprise platforms.
Role Details
This is a hybrid role based from Gaydon, Warwickshire, with an expectation of being onsite at least three days per week and occasional travel to other Aston Martin locations as required to support programme delivery.
Compliance
The post holder will be required to comply with all policies and procedures issued by and on behalf of Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd.
