• Ability to work with stakeholders to identify required data and trace it across multiple systems.
• Domain knowledge across Supply Chain, R&D, Product Development, or PLM.
• Experience within FMCG, CPG, Pharmaceuticals, Life Sciences, or Health & Beauty sectors.
• Experience working with SAP ECC data, particularly Bills of Materials (BOMs).
• Strong stakeholder management, workshop facilitation, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and drive requirements through to completion.
