Business Analyst Role, Responsibilities & Key Success Measures:
The Business Analyst will work within the Supply Chain Technology Source product line, working heavily with business processes to assist in comparation and eventual harmonization of processes across locations. The Business Analyst will also collaborate with business stakeholders to define requirements and translate these requirements into user stories for eventual handoff to the technical team.
PORTA (the Greek word for 'door') is a supplier collaboration program within the MedTech sector to “Redefine THE ONE way to digitally collaborate using intelligent networks with our Suppliers to improve Reliability.” A prioritized investment roadmap will be developed to achieve this goal over the next 3-5 years. The effort will evaluate end-to-end collaboration capabilities across Plan, Source, Deliver, Supplier Quality and External Operations functions to create a single, digital portal for external supplier engagement.
