PERMANENT/FULL-TIME
€100,000 - €130,000
IRELAND / REMOTE-FIRST – REGULAR CLIENT TRAVEL DUBLIN, GALWAY, CORK, WATERFORD
We are looking for a Manufacturing Engagement Lead who will be Brightbeam's credibility anchor in the sector. Not a generalist. Not a pure business development hire. Someone who has spent real time inside manufacturing – on the shop floor, in the maintenance function, in the CI programme – and is now ready to use that knowledge to help manufacturing clients transform with AI. If you can walk into a plant, establish credibility with an engineering director within an hour, and shape an AI engagement from operational insight rather than slide decks, this role is for you.
You will run discovery and scoping with manufacturing clients, build and grow a pipeline of accounts across Ireland, and transfer deep sector context across the Brightbeam team – upskilling engineers and Solutions Directors on the language and norms of manufacturing operations.
Key requirements:
-
Deep manufacturing domain expertise – mechanical, electrical, or process engineering background, or significant operational experience in a manufacturing environment
-
Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt, or equivalent process improvement background – desirable but not essential
-
Consultative instincts – able to shape engagements from operational insight, not just manage relationships
-
Ireland-based with full site mobility; own transport required
-
Hands-on practitioner mindset – you have done the work yourself, not just managed people who did it
What we offer:
-
A genuinely mission-motivated company – we believe AI should create meaningful work, not just cut headcount
-
A four-day working week and fully remote working
-
A fast-scaling environment where your contribution is visible and valued
-
The chance to build the manufacturing practice at a company scaling from 50 to 200+
-
Work at the frontier of AI adoption in manufacturing – you will see transformation happen in real time
