The company is mid-cycle through a major SAP S/4HANA migration, signaling infrastructure modernization across finance and supply chain. Sales-driven hiring (289 open roles) paired with manufacturing and ops capacity-building reflects execution on district and region performance initiatives, while regulatory and compliance pain points (pharmacovigilance, CGMP/CGDP, inspection readiness) dominate the operational agenda.
