    • Provide leadership for system validation, audit readiness, SOP development, and change management in alignment with GMP and global regulatory frameworks (FDA, EMA, ICH)
    • Act as SME in internal audits, regulatory inspections, and quality system assessments for digital manufacturing systems
    • Support continuous improvement initiatives within the digital supply chain and IT/OT domains
    Requirements
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Information Systems, or related field
    • 8+ years of hands-on experience with SAP in life sciences, including 5+ years focused on manufacturing or supply chain in GMP-regulated environments
    • Proven expertise in SAP PP-PI, QM, MM, and integration with production execution and serialization systems
    • Deep understanding of cell therapy manufacturing operations, including autologous/allogeneic workflows, scheduling, and chain-of-identity controls
    • Experience working in validated environments under GAMP5, Annex 11, 21 CFR Part 11, and data integrity expectations
    • Demonstrated success in system design and delivery for personalized or batch-level therapies
    • Experience with SAP S/4HANA, including advanced planning (PP-DS), ATTP, or EWM
    • Familiarity with cell therapy scheduling platforms, clinical supply chain integration, or patient engagement platforms
    • Experience in greenfield SAP implementations or digital transformation initiatives in biopharma
    • SAP certification is a plus
    • Experience with Agile or hybrid project methodologies
    • Self-awareness, integrity, authenticity, and a growth/entrepreneurial mindset
    $90,000 - $250,000 a year
