Project Manager
The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience as a factory planner or PPC lead, with a deep understanding of garment production workflows, and holds a certification in Fastreact Planner or any other recognized production planning software (e.g. FastReactPlan, Coats Digital, or equivalent). This role spans the full client lifecycle — from technical pre-sales and product walkthroughs to scoping.
Job Responsibilities
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Plani8 Implementation & Full Client Lifecycle
• Lead technical pre-sales activities including product walkthroughs, demos, and solution scoping in collaboration with the sales team to convert prospects into implementation projects.
• Define implementation scope, effort estimates, and project plans from initial scoping through to go-live, covering configuration, data migration, integrations, and user training.
• Lead end-to-end implementation of Plani8 at client factories globally— from scoping and configuration through go-live, hyper care, and post-live stabilisation.
• Apply deep knowledge of garment production planning (capacity, critical path, T&A, materials) to configure Plani8 workflows aligned with each client's unique processes.
• Drive business process reengineering at client sites to align legacy planning practices with Plani8's digital planning model.
• Manage integration touchpoints between Plani8 and client ERP/MES systems (including Tracki8, Maintaini8, and third-party platforms).
• Deliver structured training programmes across three levels —comprehensive onboarding, virtual onboarding, and LMS-based self-service— tailored to planner skill levels.
• Own post-go-live monitoring, adoption tracking, and structured review cadences (weekly operational and monthly KPI reviews) to ensure sustained platform usage.
• Work closely with client teams to measure and articulate ROI of thePlani8 implementation — tracking improvements in planning time, OTDP, capacity utilization, and lead time reduction — and present findings to client leadership.
Project Delivery
• Plan, execute, and deliver implementation projects on time, within scope, and within budget.
• Define project scope, objectives, milestones, and deliverables in alignment with internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Proactively manage risks, issues, dependencies, and scope changes with clear and timely communication.
• Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure seamless project execution and stakeholder alignment.
• Monitor project performance using appropriate tools, techniques, and reporting frameworks.
Revenue & Financial Management
• Track and update Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) realisations in coordination with the finance team to ensure accurate and timely invoicing throughout the project lifecycle.
• Trigger revenue recognition milestones as per contractual terms —project kick-off, UAT sign-off, go-live, or any other milestone defined in the client contract — and communicate readiness to finance proactively.
• Maintain clear documentation of milestone completion, client sign-offs, and delivery evidence to support correct and dispute free invoicing.
• Flag billing risks or milestone delays early to the delivery and finance teams to avoid revenue leakage or deferred recognition.
Client Engagement & On-Site Presence
• Travel extensively (up to 75%) and stay on-site at client factory locations globally for 1–2 months or longer when required —implementations may span any country where Solvei8 operates.
• Act as the primary communication bridge between field execution andSolvei8's internal delivery, product, and support teams.
• Build trusted relationships with factory planners, PPC heads, and CXO-level stakeholders to drive adoption and long-term value.
• Adapt quickly to diverse client environments — multi-factory, multi-geography — and manage on-site and remote teams effectively across time zones and cultures.
Job Requirements
• Bachelor's degree from NIFT (preferred) or B.Tech from a Garment/Textile Manufacturing institution; MBA is a plus.
• 7–11 years of total experience in garment manufacturing, with significant time spent in PPC, production planning, or factory operations.
• Certification or hands-on proficiency in a recognized apparel production planning software — Fastreact Planner, Coats Digital, or any equivalent tool — is mandatory. Ex-Fastreact users strongly preferred.
• Experience in pre-sales solutioning, client scoping, and product demonstrations is a strong advantage.
• Strong working knowledge of apparel production planning — critical path management, T&A calendars, capacity planning, line scheduling, and order confirmation processes.
• Demonstrated experience measuring and presenting software ROI to client leadership — OTDP improvement, planning efficiency, lead time reduction.
• Demonstrated experience managing end-to-end implementation or digitisation projects in garment factories across multiple geographies.
• Solid understanding of project management methodologies — Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall.• Excellent communication, CXO-level stakeholder management, problem-solving, and negotiation skills.
• Proficiency with tools such as MS Project, JIRA, Salesforce, or equivalent project management software.
KEY ATTRIBUTES

• Proactive and solutions-oriented, with a strong ownership mindset andbias for action.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and complex, multi-site project structures simultaneously.
