About The Position

Plex, by Rockwell Automation, is the leading cloud‑based, multi‑tenant Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Quality Management System (QMS), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform for manufacturers, recognized as an MES market leader by multiple industry analysts. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager for Data & Integration to own and evolve the core platform capabilities that determine how Plex connects, secures, models, and moves data across the manufacturing ecosystem. This role is about enabling headless scale and interoperability—through secure APIs, modern identity and access management, event‑driven integrations, and a coherent data platform that customers, partners, and internal teams can confidently build upon. Reporting to the Group Product Manager for Platform, Data & AI, you will define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Plex's data and integration capabilities. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, and domain product teams to shape how Plex data is modeled, exposed, and consumed—by humans, systems, and increasingly by AI‑ and agent‑driven workflows. We are looking for strong systems thinking and technical fluency, paired with the ability to translate complex platform and infrastructure investments into clear customer value. You will play a central role in connecting Plex to the broader Rockwell Automation ecosystem and ensuring the platform is ready for the next generation of analytics, automation, and intelligent operations.
