Join our Product Lifecycle Management team and help us build the future of product management in Arla. To enable our growth, we are creating a new IT hub in Gdansk, Poland. That is why we are looking for you to join about 40 other IT specialists, including SAP consultants, project managers, agile coaches and developers, to deliver great results within e.g. SAP, web and mobile. As a Scandinavian company, we value mutual trust, collaboration and initiative. Thus, you will have every opportunity to share your ideas, learn and try new things on your own initiative.

Building the future of product lifecycle management in Arla
We are building common processes and a common platform across all Arla to manage the lifecycle of all our products. This includes handling all the data around products such as ingredients, recipes, packaging specifications etc. We are looking for an expert with previous good experience in doing data migration to help us in the journey of moving all our existing product data from the scattered system landscape into one coherent PLM system. We are looking for a data migration specialist that has technical expertise with various data formats, tools, databases and systems and that has excellent skills in building and programming tools for automatic data migration as well as techniques for migrating complex and sometimes unstructured data. Your main tasks will be together with our data migration team to:
- Define the different data migration approaches for the different data in the different systems
- Together with the business and other teams in the PLM define the data migration rules and steps
- Design and develop automated data migration tools including data extraction, data cleansing, data transformation and data load
- Ensuring data quality and completeness in the migration process
- Be part of the specific migration and cut-over activities when rolling out the new PLM system and moving existing processes and data into the future solution
“We already have a Shared Services Centre in Gdansk, so you will join a major, well-established and modern workplace and you will get a first-hand impression of exciting and complex tools and processes,” says Hans Grønnebæk Hansen, Senior Manager, Agile Transformation.
