Senior Project Manager

Role Summary

We are seeking a highly seasoned Senior Project Manager to lead critical IT transformation projects within our warehouse operations. Unlike traditional IT roles, this position sits at the intersection of Outbound Logistics and SAP Systems.

The primary objective is to drive Operational Efficiency by optimizing outbound processes (Picking, Packing, and Shipping) through technology implementation. While adherence to pharmaceutical compliance (GxP) is required, the success of this role will be measured by improvements in operational throughput, system integration stability, and process speed.

You will act as the bridge between Warehouse Operations, Supply Chain, and IT (SAP teams).

This individual will be pivotal in navigating the complexities of requirements gathering, vendor selection (RFP), and full-cycle implementation in a regulated, multi-market environment.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-RFP phase:

 Lead high-level workshops and interviews with key stakeholders (Regional Operations,

Warehouse Operations, Quality Assurance and etc) to map out the current "AS-IS"

outbound processes.

 Identify operational bottlenecks in Picking (Wave/Batch), Packing, and

Shipping/Dispatch and define the "TO-BE" process flows that leverage technology to

increase speed and accuracy. Critically, this includes navigating and arbitrating

conflicting requirements, balancing competing priorities, and driving the business

towards a consensus on the essential needs for new document management solution.

 Translate the unified business needs into precise functional and technical specifications

to build a robust RFP.

RFP Phase:

 Plan and execute the RFP process in collaboration with Procurement, ensuring

compliance with all internal policies.

 Facilitate vendor demos, scoring, and selection, providing clear, data-driven

recommendations to leadership.

 Develop the comprehensive business case and financial justification required to secure

project funding and executive approval.

Execution Phase:

 Manage the end-to-end migration project, including scoping, planning, execution,

monitoring, and stabilization, using ZP's project management framework.

 Proactively manage stakeholder expectations, providing transparent and regular

progress reports to executive sponsors and steering committees, ensuring alignment is

maintained throughout the project lifecycle.

 Ensure unwavering compliance with all pharmaceutical regulations, including GxP,

PDPA, and data integrity/audit trail requirements.

 Lead a cross-functional team of internal experts and external vendors to deliver project

outcomes on time and within budget.

Required Experience & Qualifications

 10+ years of project leadership experience, with a specific focus on operational

efficiency projects in warehouse/distribution environment within the pharmaceutical,

life sciences, or regulated manufacturing/logistics industry

 Deep understanding of outbound logistics nuances, specifically Picking strategies

(FEFO/FIFO logic), Packing station workflows, and Shipping/Carrier integration.

 A good understanding of SAP and the supply chain process is a plus.

 Demonstrated, hands-on experience with GxP-compliant Document Management

Systems is essential. The candidate must understand the architectural, functional, and

compliance nuances of these systems.

 Certified in PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile methodologies.

Core Competencies

 Mastery in planning and executing strategies for enterprise-wide change management,

minimizing disruption during and after the migration.

 Mastery in stakeholder management, with a proven ability to arbitrate disputes,

negotiate trade-offs, and build consensus among senior leaders and functional teams

who may have misaligned objectives.

 Mastery in planning and executing strategies for enterprise-wide change management,

minimizing disruption during and after the migration.

 Strategic thinker with a meticulous, detail-oriented approach to risk management,

compliance, and budget control.

 Proven ability to lead and motivate distributed, cross-functional teams and manage

vendor relationships across different regions.

 Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to tailor messaging

for both senior business executives and technical teams.
