With production sites in Switzerland and China, this position has a global scope. Reporting to the Head of IS Production & Value Chain in Switzerland, you will join a skilled IT team to define, govern and continuously improve Accelleron’s enterprise data migration capabilities across business applications and strategic transformation programs.
The selected candidate will act as IS Workstream Lead for Data Migration within Program Phoenix, Accelleron’s SAP S/4HANA transformation program, while establishing long-term competencies and standards for future transformation initiatives. The role takes end-to-end ownership of data migration governance, planning, execution oversight, cutover readiness and post-go-live stabilization.
