Supply Chain Analytics Delivery\: Partner with global cross-functional workstreams to source, curate, and profile data from S/4HANA tables. Build and optimize data models supporting Order-to-Cash (OTC), Sales, Inventory, and S&OP planning.

Experience\: Minimum of 15+ years of experience in enterprise data platforms, with a proven track record in regulated or fast-moving industries (e.g., Consumer Goods, Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices) operating within GxP-compliant frameworks.
