Life Sciences Manufacturing IT – Technical Business Analyst

About the role

As a Business Analyst, you will make an impact by translating complex business needs into process designs, functional requirements, data requirements, and integration touchpoints that enable MES (PAS-X/Werum) and SAP (including EWM) design and sourcing readiness. You will be a valued member of the Life Sciences team and work collaboratively with manufacturing, IT, quality, and cross-functional stakeholders across a broad application ecosystem.

In this role, you will:

•         Lead and facilitate functional deep-dive workshops to elicit, document, and organize MES and SAP/EWM requirements by process segment and unit operation, producing fit-gap analyses and requirements-driven timelines.

•         Develop and maintain key pre-implementation artifacts including process designs, functional requirement catalogs, integration requirements, data requirements and sourcing matrices, and design confirmation packs.

•         Support cross-functional alignment across the application ecosystem (MES, SAP/ERP, RTS, IT/OT pipeline, LIMS, QMS/QDMS, Historian, Asset Management) where interfaces impact MES and SAP outcomes.

•         Translate requirements into vendor evaluation artifacts including scripted demos, traceability matrices, and BA inputs to SOW/SLA and environment requirements to support sourcing activities.

•         Gather and document business constraints to inform hosting model decisions (On-Prem, Cloud, or SaaS), and capture hosting-related risks, assumptions, and decision criteria for IT and Enterprise Architecture.

•         Work model

•         At Cognizant, we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible, and we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs. Based on this role’s business requirements, this is an onsite position requiring presence at the client office in Foster City, CA.

•         The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you’re engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations.

•         What you need to have to be considered

•         Proven experience as a Business Analyst in pharmaceutical or life sciences manufacturing environments, with strong knowledge of MES platforms (preferably Werum PAS-X) and SAP/EWM.

•         Demonstrated ability to plan and facilitate functional workshops, produce structured requirement artifacts (use case catalogs, fit-gap analyses, functional requirement sets), and manage decision and assumption logs.

•         Strong understanding of manufacturing execution processes including shop floor operations, electronic batch records, process segments, unit operations, and cross-system integration points (MES, SAP, LIMS, QMS, Historian).

•         Experience defining data requirements, integration requirements, and interface catalogs across complex multi-system application landscapes.

•         Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to work across manufacturing, IT, quality, and vendor teams.

•         These will help you stand out

•         Hands-on experience with SAP EWM warehouse execution processes and MES/EWM integration scenarios (staging, batch/lot status, handling unit management).

•         Familiarity with IT/OT pipeline considerations, DeltaV/automation systems, or OSI PI Historian in a pharma manufacturing context.

•         Experience supporting MES or ERP vendor sourcing activities, including scripted demo development and requirements traceability matrices.

•         Understanding of hosting model trade-offs (on-premises, cloud, SaaS) and ability to translate business operational needs into IT/EA decision inputs.

•         Background in Separation of Duties (SOD) mapping and e-signature decision frameworks within regulated GxP environments.
