- Testing & Execution: Structure test plans,



build pharmacy-specific test scenarios, and execute end-to-end functional and operational testing.
- M&A; & HR Integration: Support post-merger integration activities, ensuring personnel, operational compliance, and organisational workflows align seamlessly with parent-company standards.
- Hypercare & Transition: Lead operational readiness, post-go-live hypercare, and smooth transition to BAU for pharmacy retail and logistics teams.

Selection Criteria

- Pharmacy Sector Expertise: Extensive, hands-on BA experience within retail pharmacy, pharmaceutical distribution, or highly regulated healthcare services is essential. You must understand the operational, compliance, and systems nuances of modern pharmacy environments.
- M&A; / Integration Experience: Prior experience in post-acquisition integrations, retail store rollouts, or distribution centre implementations.
- 15+ Years BA Background: Senior, seasoned candidate with a proven history of navigating complex enterprise ecosystems.
