Global Process Owner, Source to Pay

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.

About The Position

BioMarin has experienced substantial growth organically since its inception, primarily over the last decade. This steady growth in both cost structure and staff were essential to BioMarin’s emergence as a leading, fully integrated global biopharmaceutical company with approximately $2 billion in revenues from over 75 countries, a robust R&D pipeline, operating profits, and world-class technical capabilities through its 3,000 employees worldwide. As the company grows, BioMarin leadership desires to optimize the efficiency of its operations for the future through its next phase of growth. In 2022 BioMarin launched its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) enterprise-wide operational initiative transforming the way we work by implementing an ERP system solution, SAP S4 HANA. In Q1, 2025 our first five legal entities went live in SAP, the remaining entities will go live in Q1, 2026. Implementing a new ERP impacts the entire company – putting this system in place is equally complex and transformational. The project team is built around the Global Process Workflows as outlined below: Record to Report, Order to Cash, Source to Pay, Plan to Produce/Inventory to Deliver, Forecast to Plan, Enterprise Asset Management. The Global Process Owner (GPO) for each workflow is accountable for the development and integration of the workstream into the overall program and the workstream specific Process Leads will report to them. We are actively recruiting a Global Process Owner for Source to Pay.
