The role owns the development and execution of a clear, end-to-end digital material management strategy spanning development laboratories, pilot plants, quality laboratories, and supply-chain interfaces. The Digital Integrator acts as the bridge between scientists, process and analytical development, manufacturing, quality, logistics, supply chain, Digital & Automation, DOS, and IT. The role ensures that material definitions, identifiers, specifications, status, inventories, genealogy, and usage are consistent, governed, and traceable across MES, ELN, LIMS, BIOVIA, and SAP. The Digital Integrator is responsible for ensuring clear and integrated material management strategy: * MES material processes, and batch genealogy * ELN and BIOVIA material processes * Alignment with SAP The position drives digital transformation that creates a trusted material record across the product lifecycle, reduces manual reconciliation and duplicate master data, improves inventory visibility and right-first-time execution, and enables compliant reporting, analytics, modelling, AI, and end-to-end material traceability., Material Management Digital Strategy & Business Partnership * Define and maintain material management digital strategy for CGT. * Establish clear system-of-record boundaries and data ownership across SAP, MES, ELN, BIOVIA, and LIMS. * Partner with Business functions to ensure compliance for material management digital processes * Ensure the strategy supports both development agility and GxP-compliant manufacturing operations across sites and external partners. Cross-System Process and Data Integration * Design and implement connected material workflows across SAP, MES, ELN, BIOVIA, and LIMS, minimizing manual handoffs and duplicate data entry. * Ensure material master data and approved terminology are embedded at the point of execution through governed ontology, metadata, and reference-data standards. * Define required integrations and event flows, including material creation and status from SAP, consumption and genealogy in MES, experimental use in ELN and BIOVIA, and testing and release status in LIMS. * Enable contextualised material data to flow to enterprise data platforms for reporting, investigations, comparability, modelling, and AI. * Identify and resolve gaps in material visibility, traceability, chain of custody, inventory status, expiry management, and data segregation. Adoption, Change Management & Value Realization * Drive implementation and sustained adoption of standard material management processes and digital capabilities across participating functions and sites. * Translate complex cross-functional workflows into practical requirements, user stories, process designs, and implementation plans. * Coordinate training, communications, business readiness, and operating procedures for new material capabilities. * Continuously improve the strategy and roadmap using operational performance, user feedback, data-quality results, and evolving business priorities. ## Related Videos - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [A Data Mesh needs Open Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/505-a-data-mesh-needs-open-metadata) - [Crafting Custom Frameworks with Rust: A Deep Dive into Procedural Macros](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/849-crafting-custom-frameworks-with-rust-a-deep-dive-into-procedural-macros) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development)
