Project Manager

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Bachelor's degree from NIFT (preferred) or B.Tech 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.

• 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.

• 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.
