• Stakeholder Collaboration:
• Act as the primary liaison between business units (Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain) and IT teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications.
• Lead workshops, Cross functional Collaboration, requirement-gathering sessions, and solution design reviews to align stakeholders on process improvements and system capabilities.
• Project Management & Delivery:
• Drive end-to-end project execution, including requirements analysis, solution design, testing, training, and go-live support for SAP and integrated subsystems.
• Develop and maintain project documentation, including business process flows, functional specifications, and test scripts.
• Ensure timely delivery of projects while adhering to budget, scope, and quality standards.
• Continuous Improvement:
• Identify opportunities for process optimization and system enhancements to improve operational efficiency and compliance.
• Stay updated on SAP advancements, industry best practices, and GxP regulations to recommend innovative solutions.
