You will assess the current solution and its limitations, evaluate potential platform options and define a practical target-state vision covering processes, technology, product data, integrations and the future operating model.\nThe organisation’s existing PLM solution is approaching the end of its lifecycle, making a move to a future platform necessary. There is currently no preferred replacement, so the successful consultant will need broad and objective knowledge of the PLM vendor landscape, including the relative strengths, limitations and suitability of different solutions.\nYour responsibilities\nAssess the client’s current PLM capabilities across processes, technology, data and operating model.\n\nIdentify key pain points, technical limitations, risks and opportunities for improvement.\n\nFacilitate fact-finding sessions and workshops with business and technology stakeholders.\n\nEvaluate potential PLM platforms and assess their suitability for the organisation.\n\nDevelop a structured, scorecard-based PLM platform assessment framework.\n\nDefine the proposed target PLM solution and integration architecture.\n\nCreate a reference product data model for the future solution.\n\nDefine detailed functional and non-functional requirements.\n\nDevelop a prioritised roadmap and high-level implementation plan.\n\nEnsure that the proposed architecture is scalable and able to support potential future changes to the organisation and its technology landscape.\n\nPresent findings and recommendations clearly to senior client stakeholders.\n\nWhat we are looking for\nStrong technical experience with PLM solutions and architecture.\n\nProven experience assessing existing PLM landscapes and defining target-state solutions.\n\nBroad understanding of the PLM vendor market, with the ability to evaluate platforms independently and objectively.\n\nExperience designing PLM integration architecture and product data models.\n\nPractical experience defining functional and non-functional requirements for PLM platforms.\n\nExperience developing platform assessment frameworks, technology roadmaps and high-level implementation plans.\n\nStrong workshop facilitation, stakeholder engagement and consulting skills.\n\nAbility to translate complex business, product and technical requirements into a clear and pragmatic architectural vision.\n\nExperience within consumer products, process manufacturing, life sciences or pharmaceuticals would be highly advantageous.\n\nExperience with PLM solutions designed for process manufacturing would be particularly valuable.\n\nWorking arrangements\nThe engagement must be delivered full-time within the 14-week project timeline.\nMost of the work will be performed remotely and will involve analysis of existing documentation, solution materials, processes and data. Some flexibility will be required for selected workshops and fact-finding sessions involving US-based stakeholders. Regular US working hours are not expected, although occasional later meetings may be necessary. The consultant must also be able to travel to the US for up to one week at a time if requested by the client. Travel may not be required, but up to two trips could take place during the engagement.\nA follow-on phase is anticipated and may create an opportunity for further involvement. However, any extension will depend on the outcome of the assessment and the appointment of the delivery partner.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3880,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","Enterprise Apps Implementation Partners","Analytics & BI Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-31T17:23:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":16,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.572,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":71,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bpx-senior-plm-solution-architect-assessment-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bpx-senior-plm-solution-architect-assessment-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T02:37:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5895,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1570},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1570"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbpx-senior-plm-solution-architect-assessment-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbpx-senior-plm-solution-architect-assessment-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbpx-senior-plm-solution-architect-assessment-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bpx-senior-plm-solution-architect-assessment-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbpx-senior-plm-solution-architect-assessment-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":180813}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bpxglobal.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":180813},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
