Job Summary
The Product Data Management (PDM) Manager will lead QSC’s enterprise-wide product data strategy, systems, and governance across the full product lifecycle—from concept through production within the Product Development Process (PDP) and through obsolescence, supporting cross-functional alignment and milestone readiness.

The PDM Manager will also administer change workflows (ECR, ECO, MCO, LCO), manage the Change review and change implementation Boards, and promote continuous improvement across product data processes.
