MSAT Direct Material Owner: Lead Quality&ERP Mastery, Basel

In 13 years, the EFOR Group has reached the leading position in Life Sciences consulting with strong, synergic and strategic acquisitions.

Our ambition is to build a global leading position of our market in 2028.

Today, we are an innovative organization working with passionate specialists and committed consultants according to our three values: Commitment, Excellence and Sharing.

In Switzerland, we work with 300 experts who support our customers on their various projects in the French- and German-speaking parts. We help our customers to diversify and to grow through the work of our consultants and the technical expertise of our Solution&Project Delivery Department.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a MSAT Direct material owner (m/f/x).

ABOUT THE JOB The role, located within the MSAT department, ensures that materials with their critical attributes are linked to process performance, all materials comply with regulatory requirements, are correctly maintained in the ERP system, and that appropriate actions are initiated in the event of quality issues— including communication with suppliers and customers.

Spearhead the complete lifecycle management of materials by defining stringent quality requirements in close collaboration with QC and Development. You will evaluate new materials for aseptic processes, resolve complex quality deviations, and directly link critical material attributes (like purity and composition) to overall process performance, yield, and robustness.

Act as a key partner to our suppliers by leading the resolution of deviations and complaints. You will actively participate in rigorous supplier qualifications, annual reviews, and audits, ensuring all quality-related communications are clear and that resulting CAPAs are successfully implemented.

Serve as the central Subject Matter Expert (SME) bridging internal teams—including Production, QC, QA, SCM, and Engineering—with external customers. You will provide critical support on material-related inquiries and ensure that all decisions and deviations are backed by transparent, compliant documentation.

Take absolute ownership of material-related data within our ERP system (Microsoft Dynamics). You will ensure impeccable data quality, maintain accurate material master records, and expertly coordinate the system onboarding of new materials to guarantee compliant, real‑time representation.

Safeguard our operations by executing thorough root cause analyses and driving CAPA processes to resolution. You will proactively create and maintain comprehensive risk‑analytical documents (such as FMEAs) and expertly guide material‑related updates through the change‑control process.

Continuously elevate our material management standards by initiating strategic improvement measures. You will develop robust material specification frameworks, contribute to cross‑site standardization projects, and drive ongoing enhancements in material quality, supplier performance, and production safety.
