Introduction to Role
Are you ready to turn advanced SAP EWM expertise into faster, safer flows of medicines to patients?
Can you translate complex warehouse operations into resilient, scalable EWM designs that deliver measurable business outcomes?
This role places you at the heart of our digital transformation, where you will lead the end-to-end lifecycle of EWM solutions on S/4HANA—from solutioning through deployment—across inbound, outbound, internal movements, production staging and inventory.
You will serve as the functional EWM authority for your team, bridging general implementation programs with local operational teams to ensure new capabilities land cleanly, are standardized, and are sustained at scale.
You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with cross-functional teams, shaping designs that integrate seamlessly with manufacturing and distribution so our medicines reach patients without delay.
Beyond your own technical delivery, you will mentor and uplift team members who are building EWM capability—guiding them through configuration, process design, and troubleshooting as a trusted technical leader.
You thrive as a collaborative partner across teams and geographies, to support a global operation.
