Director SCC Deployment, IMSCP

About the role

Johnson & Johnson is looking for a Director, Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) Deployment & Value Realisation for its Innovative Medicine Supply Chain (IMSC) team in Zug, Switzerland (the same role is also posted for Titusville, NJ, US). The Director provides end-to-end business leadership for deploying SAP Business Network Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) with IMSC suppliers, covering both the Transcend/TIME S/4HANA programme and the accelerated rollout in the Europe2 (EU2) legacy ERP system. The role is a business leadership position, not an implementation coordination role, and has no direct reports.

Key responsibilities

• Own an integrated SCC deployment strategy and roadmap across Transcend/TIME and the EU2 acceleration, prioritising waves by value, supplier readiness and site timing.
• Design and continuously improve a standard, repeatable SCC Deployment Playbook covering readiness, go-live criteria, hypercare and adoption, with limited supplier-specific customisation.
• Lead the business side of SCC deployment in line with Transcend releases, proving collaboration models such as PO collaboration, ASN, forecast collaboration, VMI and consignment.
• Migrate SNC suppliers to SCC within the mandated exit timeline, protect existing VMI and consignment benefits and onboard new suppliers where SCC adds value.
• Own the SCC value case end to end with Procurement, Planning and Finance, from sizing the opportunity to tracking inventory, working-capital and efficiency benefits.
• Bring Category Management, Planning and process owners together, acting as escalation point for master data, pricing, consignment terms and invoicing.
• Assess supplier readiness, engage supplier senior leadership on the business case and drive adoption after go-live.
• Define the SCC template, business rules and decision rights (RACI) with Transcend/TIME, GPEX, POEX and JJT, manage cross-programme risks and ensure compliance with J&J quality, SOX and contractual requirements.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering or a related field; MBA or another advanced degree preferred.
• Minimum 10-12 years in supply chain, procurement and/or planning, with significant cross-functional transformation leadership experience; pharmaceutical experience preferred.
• Proven business-side leadership of large-scale ERP or digital supply chain deployments (SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Network / Ariba SCC, SNC or equivalent).
• Track record of delivering measurable value, especially in inventory and working capital, and of benefit tracking.
• Ability to influence senior leaders and supplier executives without direct authority.
• Up to 20% domestic and international travel.

Required skills

• Deep knowledge of supplier collaboration and replenishment models: PO collaboration, ASN, forecast collaboration, VMI and consignment.
• Preferred: strategic sourcing, category management, vendor management, negotiation, risk management, spend analysis and supplier collaboration.
