Project Manager

POSITION OVERVIEW

• Solvei8 is seeking a dynamic and results-driven Project Manager to lead Plani8 product implementations across apparel and
• garment manufacturing clients globally. While the base location is Bangladesh, this role covers implementations across any
• geography where Solvei8 operates. Plani8 is Solvei8's cloud-native production planning solution — purpose-built for apparel
• factories — enabling dynamic critical path management, capacity planning, real-time recalibration, and seamless integration with
• MES and ERP systems.
• The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience as a factory planner or PPC lead, with a deep understanding of garment
• production workflows, and holds a certification in Fastreact Planner or any other recognised production planning software (e.g.
• FastReactPlan, Coats Digital, or equivalent). This role spans the full client lifecycle — from technical pre-sales and product
• walkthroughs to scoping, implementation, post-live monitoring, adoption, reviews, and ROI realization.

Mandatory Requirement

Certification or demonstrated hands-on experience in a recognised apparel production planning software — Fastreact Planner (ex-Fastreact / certified), Coats Digital, or any equivalent planning tool — is a non-negotiable prerequisite for this role. Candidates without this background will not be considered.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Plani8 Implementation & Full Client Lifecycle

• Lead technical pre-sales activities including product walkthroughs, demos, and solution scoping in collaboration with the sales

team to convert prospects into implementation projects.

• Define implementation scope, effort estimates, and project plans from initial scoping through to go-live, covering

configuration, data migration, integrations, and user training.

• Lead end-to-end implementation of Plani8 at client factories globally — from scoping and configuration through go-live,

hypercare, and post-live stabilisation.

• Apply deep knowledge of garment production planning (capacity, critical path, T&A, materials) to configure Plani8 workflows

aligned with each client's unique processes.

• Drive business process reengineering at client sites to align legacy planning practices with Plani8's digital planning model.
• Manage integration touchpoints between Plani8 and client ERP/MES systems (including Tracki8, Maintaini8, and third-party

platforms).

• Deliver structured training programmes across three levels — comprehensive onboarding, virtual onboarding, and LMS-based

self-service — tailored to planner skill levels.

• Own post-go-live monitoring, adoption tracking, and structured review cadences (weekly operational and monthly KPI reviews)

to ensure sustained platform usage.

• Work closely with client teams to measure and articulate ROI of the Plani8 implementation — tracking improvements in

planning time, OTDP, capacity utilisation, and lead time reduction — and present findings to client leadership.

Project Delivery

• Plan, execute, and deliver implementation projects on time, within scope, and within budget.
• Define project scope, objectives, milestones, and deliverables in alignment with internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Proactively manage risks, issues, dependencies, and scope changes with clear and timely communication.
• Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure seamless project execution and stakeholder alignment.
• Monitor project performance using appropriate tools, techniques, and reporting frameworks.

Revenue & Financial Management

• Track and update Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) realisations in coordination with the finance team to ensure accurate and

timely invoicing throughout the project lifecycle.

• Trigger revenue recognition milestones as per contractual terms — project kick-off, UAT sign-off, go-live, or any other

milestone defined in the client contract — and communicate readiness to finance proactively.

• Maintain clear documentation of milestone completion, client sign-offs, and delivery evidence to support correct and dispute-

free invoicing.

• Flag billing risks or milestone delays early to the delivery and finance teams to avoid revenue leakage or deferred recognition.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree from NIFT (preferred) or from a Garment/Textile Manufacturing institution; MBA is a plus.
• 7–11 years of total experience in garment manufacturing, with significant time spent in PPC, production planning, or factory

operations.

• Certification or hands-on proficiency in a recognised apparel production planning software — Fastreact Planner, Coats Digital,

or any equivalent tool — is mandatory. Ex-Fastreact users strongly preferred.

• Experience in pre-sales solutioning, client scoping, and product demonstrations is a strong advantage.
• Strong working knowledge of apparel production planning — critical path management, T&A calendars, capacity planning, line

scheduling, and order confirmation processes.

• Demonstrated experience measuring and presenting software ROI to client leadership — OTDP improvement, planning

efficiency, lead time reduction.

• Demonstrated experience managing end-to-end implementation or digitisation projects in garment factories across multiple

geographies.

• Solid understanding of project management methodologies — Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall.
• Excellent communication, CXO-level stakeholder management, problem-solving, and negotiation skills.
• Proficiency with tools such as MS Project, JIRA, Salesforce, or equivalent project management software.

KEY ATTRIBUTES

• Deep factory empathy — able to speak the language of planners and operators, not just project managers.
• Proactive and solutions-oriented, with a strong ownership mindset and bias for action.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and complex, multi-site project structures simultaneously.
• Strong leadership and team-alignment capabilities across cross-functional and client teams.
• Highly organised, detail-driven, and analytical with a continuous improvement mindset.

WHY JOIN SOLVEI8

• Work on high-impact, large-scale digital transformation projects across leading apparel manufacturers in Bangladesh and

beyond.

• Be part of an innovative and collaborative environment that builds category-defining products — Plani8, Tracki8, Maintaini8 —

trusted by 140+ factories across 7+ countries.

• Competitive salary and benefits, with clear opportunities for career growth into senior delivery and consulting roles.
• Work at the intersection of apparel manufacturing expertise and cutting-edge factory technology — a rare and valuable career

position.
