Global Process Owner

Start: immediately | Level: Professional / Senior | Location: Elmshorn (on-site) | Working hours: Full-time (40h/week)

Shape the future of our manufacturing and quality operations.

As Global Process Owner – Manufacturing (gn) within our enterprise-wide SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud transformation, you will own the global end-to-end process responsibility for our manufacturing execution, line scheduling, and quality management.

You combine strategic process design with technical implementation and bridge the gap between shop-floor operations, Quality Assurance, IT, Supply Chain, and Finance. Through your efforts, you will build a standardized, scalable, and technology-enabled manufacturing model that ensures operational excellence, compliance, and high product quality.

If you bring deep expertise in production operations and quality control within a regulated FMCG, food, supplements, or pharma environment and are passionate about driving shop-floor standardization during a major business transformation, we look forward to getting to know you.

Your Mission with Us

• Define and own the global standard process design for the end-to-end Make process — spanning detailed line scheduling, shop-floor execution, batch management, quality control, and release logic.
• Own the business requirements and target concepts across MES (SmartR), LIMS, and SAP S/4HANA (PP/QM), aligning continuously with your technology counterparts.
• Establish standardized production execution and quality release processes, including Quality Inspection (QI) hold logic, non-conformance/deviation handling, and batch release protocols.
• Govern shop-floor and quality KPIs (e.g., OEE, Right-First-Time, deviation cycle times, release lead times) while ensuring high data quality per process step.
• Drive change management, process adoption, and continuous improvement directly on the shop floor, resolving operational roadblocks with Planning, Warehousing, and Quality.
• Manage interfaces with upstream planning (line feasibility) and downstream logistics (finished-goods hand-off to LEA Reply), ensuring seamless system and operational integration.
• Align closely with adjacent Global Process Owners (Planning, Procure-to-Pay, Logistics) and the Transformation Office on cross-functional standards and interfaces.
