Data Leadership: Direct the data migration strategy for QM master data (Inspection Plans, Material Masters, Catalogs) and transaction data, ensuring accuracy and integrity during the move to S/4HANA.
Testing & Quality Assurance: Define testing strategies and lead System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Ensure all enhancements are validated against regulatory standards and internal compliance.
Documentation & Training: Create and maintain high-quality project artifacts, including Business Blueprint documents, Functional Specifications, Configuration Guides, and SOPs. Deliver comprehensive training programs to empower end-users.
Continuous Improvement: Monitor system performance and conduct regular maintenance and updates to ensure the QM landscape remains robust, compliant, and optimized for evolving business needs.

Integration Expertise: Proven ability to manage complex "hand-offs" between QM and the broader Supply Chain (MM/PP/SD).
