Specialty pharma acquirer and operator with SAP-centered platform
CHEPLAPHARM acquires and operates established pharmaceutical brands divested by research-focused companies, operating a 501–1,000-person enterprise across manufacturing, supply-chain, and commercial functions. The tech stack is heavily SAP-dependent (S/4HANA, MM, SD, QM, FI, CO, EWM) paired with Microsoft analytics (Power BI, Fabric, Azure Data Factory), signaling a mature but inward-focused operations platform optimized for pharma compliance and procurement—not a technology innovator. Current hiring favors senior operational hires and logistics over engineering, and active projects cluster around acquisition integration and supply-chain automation rather than product development.
