About The Position

Boston Scientific is dedicated to transforming lives through innovative medical solutions that improve patient health worldwide. In the Magellan Program, we are driving one of the largest global business transformation initiatives in BSC history. In doing so we are migrating from SAP ECC to SAP S4 HANA. This program will simplify, standardize, and modernize our core business processes, enabling data-driven decisions and sustainable growth. Join us and be part of a team that is shaping the future of supply chain and logistics across our global network. As a Product Owner, you will be key to the success of our business transformation. Although, a large part of the transformation is structured around the move from SAP ECC to SAP S4 HANA, the transformation will encompass non-system changes too. You will focus initially on the D5 deployment (US distribution centers) before moving on to the rest of the global distribution network. You will work with our System Integrators, Magellan and Business Teams. Together, you will deliver strong solutions for the sites and the entire network. Your role balances building a global template and meeting local business needs. You will collaborate with Magellan Workstreams, System Integration Vendors, BSC Business Process Leads, SMEs, Global Process Leadership and stakeholders across our network. The program moves through several phases: Requirements, Design, Build and Testing, Deployment, and post-Go-Live support (Hypercare). With each phase, the focus of your responsibilities changes whilst always aiming to deliver the best solution for our customers and business.
