Job Description

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for a PDM Functional Leader (m/f) to join our Product Data Management department based in Toulouse.

You will join the DPPP (Product Data Management) department, the digital heart of the Airbus Develop organization, within a transnational team managing the “nervous system” of aeronautical technical data. We are looking for innovative profiles to ensure the consistency of a Single Source of Truth (SSOT) for 10,000 users and to support the transformation of our systems toward a cloud‑native and micro‑services architecture, serving current programs and future projects.

Your working environment

Toulouse is a dynamic city in the southwest of France, served by an international airport and located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It offers many options for outdoor activities.

How we care for you

• Financial rewards: Attractive salary, success and profit‑sharing schemes, employee savings plan and voluntary employee stock purchase plan.
• Work / Life Balance: Extra days off for special occasions, holiday transfer option, staff council offering social, cultural and sport activities.
• Wellbeing / Health: Complementary health insurance coverage (disability, invalidity, death), health services center, concierge services, gym and car‑pooling application depending on the site.
• Individual development: Upskilling opportunities, access to more than 10,000 e‑learning courses, certifications, career pathways and mobility programmes.

Your challenges

• Lead the end‑to‑end functional definition of PDM domains to ensure a seamless Single Source of Truth for aircraft data.
• Drive next‑generation PDM projects by anticipating tech trends and managing synergies with legacy systems.
• Align architects, system analysts and developers to deliver high‑quality solutions within Agile Release Trains (ART).
• Orchestrate functional decision‑making to maintain architectural consistency and minimize functional debt.
• Help define future PDM solutions based on open technology standards.

Your boarding pass

• Background in Computer Science, Systems Engineering or Information Systems Management.
• Minimum 10 years experience in Business Analysis, Functional Architecture or Product Management within a complex industrial PDM/PLM environment.
• Mastery of Bill of Materials (BOM), Configuration Management and technical data integration in 3D environments.
• Pragmatic leader with a “doer” mentality, capable of bridging the gap between strategic vision and technical implementation.
• Fluency in English is mandatory; proficiency in French is a plus for the Toulouse location.
