At Siemens Healthineers, we pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare.

For everyone.

Everywhere.

Sustainably.

Every day, our technology enables clinicians and healthcare providers to make faster, more informed decisions that improve patient outcomes worldwide.

As part of our Magnetic Resonance (MR) business in Oxford, you'll join a collaborative, international environment where innovation, continuous improvement and shared success are at the heart of everything we do.

We're looking for an experienced Change Manager to join our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) organisation.

This is an exciting opportunity to influence how engineering change is managed across a complex, highly regulated environment, helping to drive product improvements, operational excellence and stronger collaboration across global teams.

Unlike traditional organisational change roles, this position focuses on engineering and product change throughout the lifecycle of our world-leading MRI systems, while also providing a unique opportunity to shape and improve change processes across the wider business.

About the Role

As Change Manager, you'll play a critical role in coordinating and delivering engineering changes across our product portfolio, ensuring that changes are implemented effectively, efficiently and in compliance with quality and regulatory requirements.

You'll act as the link between technical teams, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, quality and R&D functions, bringing people together to deliver successful outcomes.

• What You'll Be Doing
• Managing engineering and product changes throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring successful implementation from concept through to release.
• Coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver change activities across R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement and other business functions.
• Assessing change requests for impact, complexity, risk, cost and business value.
• Supporting and continuously improving engineering change processes, governance and ways of working.
• Building strong stakeholder relationships and facilitating effective collaboration across international teams and locations.
• Monitoring risks, dependencies and priorities, ensuring changes are delivered in a controlled and compliant manner.
• Supporting the coordination of wider portfolios of change activity and helping create greater alignment across the Change Management community.
• Driving continuous improvement through the use of metrics, lessons learned and best practice sharing.

You will work closely with stakeholders across Oxford, Erlangen and Shenzhen, helping to improve collaboration and enable consistent, high-quality delivery of change activities across multiple sites and functions.

What Skills and Experience You'll Bring

We're interested in hearing from candidates who combine strong process thinking with excellent stakeholder engagement skills and a genuine passion for driving improvement.

You'll likely bring

• Experience managing engineering, technical, product or process changes within a regulated manufacturing, engineering, healthcare, life sciences or similarly complex environment.
• Strong understanding of structured processes, governance and compliance requirements.
• Proven ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders and achieve alignment across cross-functional teams.
• Experience leading process improvement initiatives and driving adoption of improved ways of working.
• Strong communication, facilitation and influencing skills, with the confidence to engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Experience working within engineering, product development, manufacturing or supply chain environments.
• A proactive approach and the ability to operate with autonomy while building collaborative relationships across international teams.

It would be advantageous if you also have

• Experience within medical devices, healthcare technology or other highly regulated industries.
• Knowledge of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Quality Management Systems (QMS), Design Control or engineering change processes.
• Experience in organisational change, business transformation or continuous improvement activities.
• Professional qualifications in Project Management or Change Management methodologies.
• What's on Offer
• Competitive base salary
• 26 days annual leave with the option to buy up to 10 and sell up to 5 days
• Up to 10% matched pension contributions
• BUPA Private Medical Insurance
• Bonus & Share Save Scheme
• Free to use on-site gym
