For our client, an international Pharmaceutical company in Rotkreuz, we are looking for a Business Analyst Product Master Data, temporary as of May 1, 2021 for three months.
Background:
The Product Information Management (PIM) team maintains a repository with structured and unstructured product data (e.g. product name, dimensions, storage conditions, measuring ranges, business area ownership, etc.). This information is used for various commercial purposes (deal calculation, procurement, tendering, marketing website, etc.) by global functions and local country affiliates. Currently, the PIM team is providing this data to internal customers via existing API web services and manual data extracts.
The company affiliates are using product information for various commercial processes. A typical example: customer reaches out to the company affiliate and asks to provide a set of data fields for the materials that the customer can buy from the company. The requests differ depending on the customer. Affiliate colleagues are manually pulling together the data from several IT systems (see the System Landscape chapter for more information). This manual operation is creating unnecessary effort and creates a possibility for human error.
The PIM team has initiated a project which aims to minimize manual effort in collection and aggregation of product data in order to automatically generate and distribute an electronic product catalog. Internal and external customers choose the products they are interested in and download the desired product information as an on-demand self-service.
The project is in need of an experienced business analyst to support the project team by bringing outside expertise.
