GSC ERP PMO / Cutover Lead Secondment (12 months)

Closing Date: 23rd March 2026 (COB)

About the ERP Evolution Program

The supply chain is not just core to GSK operations; it's vital to bringing our innovations to patients as quickly, efficiently and effectively as possible. Technology is transforming how we manufacture medicines and vaccines, enabling us to increase the speed, quality and scale of product supply. Aligned to industry peers, GSK has embarked on a large-scale global transformation - ERP Evolution Program. To achieve the outcome of the ERP Evolution programme, an S4/HANA ERP solution will be deployed globally via complex waves across GSK's Pharma and Vaccines businesses to commercial markets, manufacturing sites, R&D, all shared financial services, and additionally GSK's customers, suppliers and logistics partners. The Wave 0 scope comprises a representative subset of GSK's business across the Pharma and Vaccines sectors, including global supply and financial functions. The successful delivery of Wave 0 is essential, as it will establish the foundation for all subsequent waves. Wave 0 will demonstrate the programme's methodology, validate the cutover orchestration, and enable downstream waves to scale effectively while meeting all regulatory, and business‑continuity requirements.
