**Job Overview**:
We are seeking an IPD Integration Coordinator to lead the integration of product development, compliance, and specification management into our SAP S/4HANA IPD module as part of our greenfield transformation. This role will act as a bridge between R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and IT teams, ensuring that SAP IPD functionality is aligned with food manufacturing processes and that integrations with surrounding systems (PLM, LIMS, labelling, regulatory databases) are executed successfully.
**Key Responsibilities**:
Integration Planning & Coordination
- Develop and maintain the IPD integration plan, ensuring alignment with the overall SAP transformation roadmap.
- Coordinate integration activities between SAP IPD, manufacturing systems (MES, WMS), quality systems (LIMS, QMS), and regulatory platforms.
- Serve as the central point of contact for IPD integration across business and technical teams.

Design & Validation
- Work with functional consultants and architects to define integration requirements, data flows, and mapping rules for recipes, formulations, BOMs, and product specifications.
- Ensure integration design supports food industry compliance (traceability, allergen management, nutritional labeling).
- Participate in fit-to-standard workshops to validate that SAP IPD processes integrate seamlessly with manufacturing operations.

Execution & Testing
- Oversee integration test cycles, including system integration testing (SIT) and user acceptance testing (UAT) for IPD-related processes.
- Validate that master data and specifications flow correctly between systems.
- Coordinate resolution of integration defects and escalate critical issues.

Governance & Reporting
- Maintain an integration issue log and track progress against milestones.
- Report regularly to the Program Manager and Data Governance Team on integration risks and dependencies.
- Ensure all integrations meet security, compliance, and data governance standards.

Change & Training Support
- Collaborate with Change Management to create user training and communication materials for new IPD integration processes.
- Support business teams in adopting new workflows and resolving process integration challenges.

**The Recipe for Success**:

- Bachelor’s degree in food science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
- 2+ years of experience in product lifecycle management (PLM), ERP data management, or SAP-related projects.
- Experience in food manufacturing with knowledge of product development, quality, and regulatory processes.

Skills & Competencies
- Strong understanding of food manufacturing product data (recipes, allergens, nutritional data, labelling).
- Knowledge of data integration and ETL concepts; experience with middleware (SAP Integration Suite, Boomi, MuleSoft, etc.) is a plus.
- Excellent organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams and resolve cross-functional issues quickly.
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (CFIA, FDA, HACCP, GxP) is desirable.

**What we can offer**:

- As we grow, we are committed to preserving the parts of our diversity & culture that is unique, people-focused and are core to our success at every size. Our values of Quality, Direct Communication and Respect mean something.
- Learning and growth; we are working to create an environment where sharing new ideas, experimenting and learning from each other is strongly encouraged.
