Baxter International Inc.•Raleigh, NC

2d•$112,000 - $154,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As the Product Deployment Manager, you will play a critical role in optimizing how Baxter’s Implementation Engineering organization deploys technical products across the U.S. service region. You will work closely with the Implementation and Deployment Managers—each leading field engineering teams across different geographies—and partner with the project management organization, who drive scheduling and customer facing execution. This role is operational at its core: focused on resource planning, scheduling accuracy, performance measurement, and improving the processes that support deployment of Baxter’s Care Communications and Infusion Therapy solutions. You will spend most of your time collaborating with peer engineering managers to increase operational efficiencies, maximize utilization, align project priorities, and balance staffing, while also working closely with project management teams to ensure schedules are accurate, efficient, and aligned to customer commitments. This position backfills a long tenured leader who retired and now represents an opportunity to modernize resource management, strengthen the employee onboarding process, and drive KPIs such as utilization, staffing balance, and forecast accuracy. With strong visibility across engineering, project management, clinical, and commercial teams—and a supportive, long tenured leadership group—this role offers immediate impact, operational influence, and a clear path for future growth within Implementation Engineering and the broader organization.

Experience with MS Office, AutoCAD, and Visio; familiarity with Windows platforms, server infrastructure, and enterprise networking helpful.
Strong understanding of resource planning, scheduling, and operational process improvement.
Ability to identify inefficiencies and drive operational enhancements, including initiatives that improve forecast accuracy and margin.
Ability to influence peers and manage competing priorities in a schedule‑driven environment; travel required with a valid driver’s license.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively with engineering managers, project managers, and customer‑facing teams.
Confidence navigating competing priorities and redirecting resources when needed to support project and business goals.
Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
