How to Apply for Program Lead Enterprise Data Systems

at Panthalassa

🏢 About Panthalassa

Panthalassa is revolutionizing sustainable energy by harnessing the untapped power of Earth's oceans, positioning itself at the forefront of clean energy innovation. Working here means contributing directly to scalable solutions for climate change while operating in a dynamic, mission-driven environment focused on manufacturing and deploying ocean energy technology.

About This Role

As Program Lead for Enterprise Data Systems, you'll define and execute the data systems strategy that supports Panthalassa's manufacturing scale-up and operational growth. This role directly impacts how engineering, production, and finance teams leverage data to optimize ocean energy technology deployment, making it critical for achieving company production objectives.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically involves coordinating with manufacturing teams on production data needs, meeting with engineering leaders about system requirements for new ocean energy technology, and working with IT to enforce architectural standards. You'll balance strategic roadmap planning with tactical execution, often facilitating decisions between commercial software purchases and in-house development to support rapid manufacturing scale-up.

🎯 Who Panthalassa Is Looking For

  • Has 6+ years leading enterprise data system implementations specifically in manufactured product environments (not just software companies)
  • Demonstrates experience bridging engineering, production, supply chain, and operational finance teams through data system improvements
  • Shows proven ability to lead by influence at both strategic and operational levels in cross-functional settings
  • Possesses hands-on experience evaluating trade-offs between commercial software and in-house development for manufacturing contexts

📝 Tips for Applying to Panthalassa

1

Quantify your impact on manufacturing outcomes in previous roles—specifically how data systems improved production efficiency, supply chain visibility, or operational finance

2

Highlight any experience with scaling manufacturing operations, as Panthalassa explicitly mentions 'production scale-up plans' in the job description

3

Demonstrate your understanding of architectural governance in manufacturing contexts—mention specific frameworks or standards you've enforced

4

Show how you've 'cross-linked' digital systems with business objectives in past roles, using concrete examples

5

If you have renewable energy or heavy industry experience, emphasize it—otherwise, highlight transferable manufacturing sector experience

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience implementing enterprise data systems in manufacturing environments (not just maintaining them)', "How you've successfully collaborated with engineering, production, and operational finance teams simultaneously", 'Examples of leading by influence rather than direct authority in cross-functional settings', 'Your approach to balancing commercial software solutions with in-house development for manufacturing growth']
