Enterprise Process Expert - ESG – 24 month contract
Location: Luton
Salary: Competitive plus benefits
The Axial Programme (Global S/4HANA implementation)
We are one purpose-led global organisation. The enablers and innovators, ensuring that we can fulfil our mission to push the boundaries of science and discover and develop life-changing medicines. We take pride in working close to the cause, opening the locks to save lives, ultimately making a massive difference to the outside world.
AstraZeneca (AZ) is in a period of strong growth and our employees have a united purpose to make a difference to patients around the world who need both our medicines and the ongoing developments from our science. In this journey AZ must continue to work across borders and with partners and new colleagues in a fast and seamless way. The ambition, size and complexity of the organisation, coupled with the opportunities afforded by new technology, has led the Board to approve a large-scale transformation programme – Axial.
The Axial Programme will be powered by S/4HANA, a new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system which will be implemented right across the organisation and will provide our business with standardised processes, enhanced financial management, common data and real time reporting, transforming the way we work through our entire supply chain - from bench to patient.
Introduction to role:
In this role, you will be supporting the Axial ESG workstream at a critical time through the remaining part of the pioneer phase with deployment of two new strategic SAP technologies Sustainability Footprint Management (SFM) and Sustainability Control Tower (SCT). Additionally, as the programme moves to the next phase, you will be involved in planning, preparation and deployment throughout the organisation.
