About the Role

As part of the global ERP Program Team, the Organizational Change Management (OCM) Lead plays a key role in driving the successful adoption of SAP S/4HANA across PolyPeptide’s global manufacturing organization.

This role is central to ensuring that new ERP processes are successfully embedded across production sites, supply chain, finance, and quality functions in a highly regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.

You will work closely with the Program Director, PMO, deployment leads, and global process owners to translate ERP design decisions into practical operational impact for the business.

The position requires a hands-on and pragmatic change leader who can combine strategic thinking with practical execution across the full transformation lifecycle – from design and impact assessments to training, go-live readiness, and adoption tracking.

Key Responsibilities

• Execution of the program’s OCM strategy supporting the global SAP S/4HANA transformation.

• Lead change impact assessments across production, supply chain, finance, and quality functions.

• Translate ERP design decisions into clear operational implications for manufacturing sites.

• Plan and execute communication, stakeholder engagement, and training strategies.

• Drive business readiness and user adoption across multiple program rollout waves.

• Establish and track adoption and readiness KPIs.

• Partner closely with PMO, deployment leads, and global process owners.

• Build and manage a global network of change agents and super users.

• Enable local leaders and site management to lead the transformation successfully.
