S/4HANA Testing Architect
Location: UK
Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is dedicated people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of. As part of our ongoing pursuit of excellence, we will be kicking off a significant Transformation Project to introduce S/4HANA, and as such we have created several positions to support this enterprise project (Project Nexus).

Any success we achieve is no success at all if not achieved ethically. We want to attract the best talent and recognize that they are not always available full-time. At Lonza, we will consider requests for flexible working hours. Please talk to us during the interview process about the flexibility you may need. (50% min).
