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), North America is now beginning its transformation journey using the foundations EMEA laid for more effective customer engagement and intimacy and more Supply Chain reliability.
