Job Description:

Living into our Global MedTech priorities is critical to advancing our collective performance and making an even bigger impact on our patients with MT Transcend being a critical input to these priorities:

• Accelerating innovation and portfolio transformation

• Advancing competitiveness

• Strengthening financial performance

MT Transcend is a multi-year Global business transformation Program that will modernize our end-to-end Supply Chain digital capabilities by harmonizing our current 40+ ERP systems, standardizing our core business processes, and enabling our integrated data strategy through SAP S/4 HANA.  While EMEA has led the way, (for the Order-To-Cash deployment via a Global Template design approach), Norh America is now beginning its transformation journey using the foundations EMEA laid for more effective customer engagement and intimacy and more Supply Chain reliability.

It is critical that the Commercial, Supply Chain, Deliver and Finance communities maximize this opportunity and prepare in parallel to ensure that the S/4 HANA platform can be used in an integrated approach from day one of go-live.

You will bring a deep personal motivation to advance healthcare and Finance processes through Transformation.  This motivation is backed by eager self-learning and experience in the Finance, Compliance & ERP fields, and their relevance to MedTech.  You are keen to bravely push forward despite any ambiguity, resistance, and be a voice for change.  As a key team member on this Program, you will be leading and influencing by example, helping others see what could be and making it happen together with the Program team and North America Business Unit deployment.
