• Ensure alignment between business requirements and technical solution delivery.
• Identify integration risks, dependencies and process impacts across multiple workstreams.
• Support site deployment and transformation initiatives across global manufacturing locations.
• Facilitate communication between functional teams, technical teams and external delivery partners.
• Provide guidance on process harmonisation and template adoption across manufacturing sites.
• Contribute to testing, deployment planning, cutover preparation and post-go-live support activities where required.

Requirements

• Strong SAP experience with broad exposure across multiple business processes and functional areas.
• Ability to understand and connect end-to-end manufacturing-site processes.
• Experience operating in complex environments involving multiple systems, stakeholders and delivery teams.
• Strong understanding of SAP integrations and cross-functional process dependencies.
• Experience supporting large-scale transformation programmes, rollouts or multi-site deployments.
• Able to work credibly with both business stakeholders and technical delivery teams.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Comfortable working across geographically distributed teams and time zones.
• Willingness to travel internationally when required.

Desirable Experience

• Manufacturing, industrial, life sciences, medical device or regulated industry experience.
• Experience working with external systems integrated with SAP, including manufacturing, warehouse, quality or maintenance platforms.
• Experience supporting global template deployments and standardisation initiatives.
• Previous experience working alongside systems integrators and external implementation partners.
