Role Overview:

The Product Quality Specialist will play a pivotal role in optimising SAP systems, particularly within the SAP Quality Management (QM) module, and leveraging business intelligence tools to improve quality assurance processes.

3. Lead the development, testing, and deployment of new tools and dashboards to enhance quality management and business intelligence capabilities.
4. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage software releases and change cycles, ensuring smooth transitions and clear communication.
5. Drive corrective actions and process improvements, using data-driven insights to foster a culture of continuous improvement.

7. Participate in process harmonisation efforts across international teams and contribute to developing a cohesive Quality Assurance strategy.
8. Explore and apply AI and advanced data analytics techniques to develop innovative quality management solutions.

2. Operational experience in a similar role, preferably within aerospace or defence engineering (not essential).
3. Working knowledge of ERP systems, particularly SAP QM / SAP HANA, with SAP project and change management experience (beneficial but not essential).
4. Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across teams.
5. Highly self-motivated with a strong determination to deliver results.
