Role Description

We are seeking an experienced SAP Specialist with a strong background in Quality Management (QM) to support a leading pharmaceutical manufacturing site during a key phase of their SAP S/4HANA implementation.

What you’ll do

• Support UAT execution for Quality Management-related processes and ensure alignment with pharma regulatory standards (e.g. GMP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11).
• Assist with master data verification and validation, particularly for materials, inspection plans, and quality info records.
• Collaborate with local QA, QC, production, and IT teams to map and verify quality-relevant workflows.
• Help deliver key user training for SAP QM functions including inspections, notifications, usage decisions, and quality certificates.
• Support the development of digital work instructions and SOPs for end users in quality and manufacturing.
• Work closely with the implementation partner and internal stakeholders to ensure business readiness for go-live.

The Requirements

• Hands-on experience with SAP Quality Management (QM) in a support, consultant, or superuser capacity.
• Proven background working in pharmaceutical or highly regulated manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with S/4HANA, especially embedded QM functionality (S/4HANA experience preferred; ECC experience also considered).
• Understanding of compliance frameworks (e.g. GMP, FDA, EMA) and how they map into SAP QM processes.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to support training and cross-functional collaboration.
• Ability to work effectively in fast-paced project environments and hit the ground running.
