Job DescriptionJob Description: Change Control Analyst (CCA) 1. Short Description The Role: The Change Control Analyst (CCA) is a key role responsible for leading and executing the change management process and driving Change Control Meetings for North America (NA) LVEA vehicle programs. Operating within the critical window from FDJ (Freeze Design Intent) through OKTB (Ok to Build), the CCA ensures the seamless validation, authorization, and release of Engineering Change Requests (CRs) while maintaining strict alignment with program timing, cost, and quality metrics. 2. Description Your Impact: As a Change Control Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in the vehicle development lifecycle, particularly during high-stakes build phases (TT to OKTB) where speed, accuracy, and a strong sense of urgency are vital. You will act as the primary bridge between engineering, manufacturing plants, and cross-functional approval teams. Rather than just processing paperwork, you will "own the process"—challenging data to justify engineering changes, guiding engineers through complex WERS workflows, and building strong collaborative relationships with key stakeholders (VO, PVT, PM, Finance, PPM). By monitoring CR throughput and optimizing the change management flow, your leadership will directly impact and improve the program's Green/Yellow/Red performance metrics, ensuring vehicles are built on time and with the highest quality. 3. Qualifications What You’ll Need: Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or a closely related technical field. Experience & System Knowledge: Solid understanding of Change Management processes. Hands-on experience with WERS (writing CRs, navigating C/D screens, release intent) is highly preferred. Language: Fluent in English (both written and spoken) with excellent communication skills to align with global and cross-functional teams. Soft Skills: High sense of urgency, strong leadership, proactive problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities. Ability to escalate issues effectively and handle quick turnarounds. Mindset: A self-starter with high initiative and a passion for continuous learning. Strong empathy and patience to coach and guide engineers through complex processes, combined with a data-driven mindset to challenge and validate requests. 4. Responsibilities Your Responsibilities: Lead & Facilitate: Drive WERS Change Control and CPE DF meetings, including preparing and distributing agendas and managing follow-ups. Validate & Support: Review and validate information in CR concerns for data accuracy, actively assisting and coaching engineers/authors in writing high-quality CRs. Drive Authorization: Partner with cross-functional teams (VO, PVT, PM, Finance, PPM, etc.) to push CR approvals and expedite Notice Releases. System Administration: Manage WERS C-screen and D-screen approvals, ensuring correct PIN number assignments and precise documentation. Containment & Alignment: Confirm cost and timing containment for all processed changes, coordinating closely with plant and vehicle line teams to obtain necessary approvals. Monitor & Escalate: Track CR throughput, monitor aging requests, and proactively escalate bottlenecks to prevent program delays. Reporting: Issue CR night letters and detailed status reports, including PO/TO metrics, to maintain clear visibility of program health for leadership.
