Senior Project Manager – Lean & Digital Operations (m/f/d) Hamburg | Regular Shopfloor Work | 1–2 trips/month
German manufacturing is under pressure.
Global competition. At Make Work Flow, we don’t write Lean concepts or PowerPoint roadmaps. We make Lean executable on the shop floor – powered by simple, pragmatic digital tools. We combine deep shopfloor Lean experience with software to build what factories actually need: clarity, flow, speed, and control.
Now we’re looking for a Senior Project Manager – Lean & Digital Operations to drive real implementations with real impact.
Lead on-site workshops in factories to understand processes, identify bottlenecks, and define target workflows
~ Translate Lean principles (flow, pull, visual management) into digital, scalable implementations
~ Drive timelines, milestones, risks, and outcomes — hands-on, pragmatic, solution-oriented
~ Act as a trusted sparring partner for customer operations teams and management
~ Optionally: help build and mentor future project managers as we scale (not mandatory)
Has 3–8 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, operations, or Lean environments
Knows the shop floor is where value is created – and enjoys being there
Has worked with Lean, Operational Excellence, or production systems (formally or informally)
Can manage projects without hiding behind bureaucracy
Communicates clearly with shopfloor teams and management
You don’t need to be a Lean Black Belt. Direct collaboration with the CEO and real influence on delivery & product direction
A role focused on execution and impact, not project theatre
The chance to shape how Lean + Digital is rolled out at scale
Real factories, real problems, real results — often visible within weeks
German strongly preferred (customers & shopfloor communication)
English required
