Global Process Lead - Product Design and Engineering Data
Ambu · Augsburg
Are you passionate about designing and improving global business processes?
Do you want to play a key role in enabling transformation by bringing deep domain expertise and driving process excellence?
Ambu is transforming – and this is your opportunity to drive that transformation at scale.
We are strengthening our global process organisation and are building a Global Process Lead (GPL) layer across a range of end-to-end business processes spanning the full value chain—from planning and operations to finance, compliance, and product lifecycle management.
As part of this transformation, we are maturing our global processes, governance structures, and ways of working to support a more scalable and standardised operating model.
A key element of this journey is the implementation and rollout of core enterprise systems such as ERP, QMS, and PLM, enabling improved process consistency and integration across the organisation.
The role
As a Global Process Lead, you support the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of Ambu’s product design process. This includes mechanical design, electrical design, manufacturing process design and managing engineering data across these subprocesses and across our IT systems, primarily our PLM. Specific subprocesses within the PLM include creation of EBOM, translation of EBOM to MBOM and product master data management.
You play a key role in translating business needs into robust, scalable processes aligned with global standards.
Working closely with the Global Process Owners, Subject Matter Experts, technical workstream leads, and stakeholders across functions and geographical sites, you will contribute to process design, support implementation, and help ensure adoption of new ways of working.
This is a high-impact role where functional expertise meets cross-functional collaboration, and where you actively contribute to driving process excellence across Ambu.

Stakeholder collaboration
- Work closely with stakeholders across functions, regions, and sites to ensure alignment
