What if your work helped get life-changing medicines to patients faster?

At Bristol Myers Squibb, that's not a tagline - it's what happens every day at our Leiden site and it only happens because behind every batch, every shipment, and every quality check, there's accurate, reliable data powering the system.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for an ERP & Master Data Specialist who gets genuinely excited about how a well-structured SAP system can be the difference between a smooth manufacturing run and a costly delay. If you're someone who finds deep satisfaction in making complex systems work beautifully and who wants to know that their work has a real downstream impact on patients - read on.

So, what will you actually be doing?

Think of yourself as the guardian of data integrity for our Leiden manufacturing site. You'll own the creation and maintenance of critical SAP master data - material masters, Bills of Materials, master recipes - the building blocks that everything else depends on.

But this isn't a back-office, heads-down role. You'll be right in the thick of it:

• When something goes wrong on the shop floor, your phone rings. You're the person who helps manufacturing, planning, quality, and supply chain teams get back on track - fast.
• When a department is struggling with how SAP reflects their process, you sit with them, understand their world, and translate it into a solution.
• When the system could work smarter, you spot it. You flag it. You help fix it.

Over time, you'll build a rare and genuinely valuable skill: a deep, end-to-end understanding of how physical pharmaceutical manufacturing processes live inside SAP S/4 HANA. That's knowledge that travels with you throughout your career.

What's in it for you - really?

Here's what this role offers that goes beyond a job description:

• Real impact in a meaningful industry You're not optimising data for widgets - you're supporting the production of medicines that change and save lives. That context makes the work matter.
• Career-defining technical depth You'll gain hands-on expertise in SAP S/4 HANA within a complex, regulated manufacturing environment - plus exposure to integrated systems like MES, LIMS, and GPS. This is the kind of experience that opens doors.
• A seat at the table You won't be siloed. You'll collaborate with teams across manufacturing, quality, supply chain, planning, and IT and represent your department on site projects. Your voice shapes how this site operates.
• A place to keep growing You'll be supported to deepen your knowledge continuously. Whether it's new digital tools, improved ways of working, or evolving processes - this is an environment that rewards curiosity and initiative.
• A global company with a local feel Our Leiden site is a close-knit, collaborative community but you'll have the resources, tools, and backing of a global biopharmaceutical leader behind you.

You'll thrive here if you...

• Have solid ERP/MRP experience - SAP is a big plus
• Come from a pharmaceutical or GMP manufacturing environment (or are keen to step into one)
• Hold a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field and bring 2+ years of relevant experience
• Know your way around MS Office tools and aren't fazed by technical documentation
• Are proactive, self-motivated, and genuinely enjoy solving problems for people
• Communicate clearly - whether you're explaining a system issue or training a colleague
• Are comfortable with rotational on-call support - because manufacturing doesn't stop at 5pm
• Are curious. Always. About the why behind the process, not just the how

A note on working style

We value people who bring both rigour and openness - who care deeply about compliance and data accuracy, but who also embrace new tools and better ways of working when the evidence supports it. If you're someone who looks at a problem and thinks "there has to be a smarter way to do this" - you'll fit right in.

Ready to bring your expertise where it truly matters?

We'd love to hear from you. Apply today and let's talk about how your skills can help power life-changing medicine - right here in Leiden.
