SAP SOLUTION & INTEGRATION LEAD - FICO - ECC - SURREY - 12 MONTH CONTRACT

Market leading Pharmaceutical client based in Surrey has the opportunity for a EMEA SAP Solution & Integration Lead on an initial 12 month contract.

Purpose of the role

To ensure good integration between the four process areas so that there are no gaps or overlaps within the EMEA S/4 solution.

This may include RICEFWs where one team is responsible for the build but another team has requirements which must be met
