The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of managing cross-functional teams, delivering projects on time and within budget, and driving strategic IT transformations. This role requires a blend of technical understanding, stakeholder management, and project leadership. Owens Corning Glass Reinforcements is a business unit of Owens Corning that is in the acquisition sign to close process. Owens Corning has signed an agreement to sell Glass Reinforcements to the Praana Group. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2025. The path ahead will be dynamic, full of change, and expected to be fast paced with a change in ownership. The business operates from twenty (20+) locations across the globe.

These assignments ensure secure connectivity, scalable platforms, and reliable data flow to enable efficient production, supply chain management, and enterprise-wide digital transformation-especially during the separation from Owens Corning.
