Position Summary:

The Zoetis Tech & Digital (ZTD) organization has been experiencing a period of growth over the last several years. Our teams are growing and, as such, processes we have in place currently, need revision to accommodate the demand and size of our expanded organization and demand for resources and budget. In addition, new processes (formal and informal) are likely required.

You will work in partnership with the Systems and Data Lead to review & refine as well as create new processes and procedures in the ZTD Veterinary Medicine Research & Development and Performance Livestock Farming organization.

• ZTD Processes and Procedures specific to the Systems and Data discipline will have been documented in Confluence allowing the Wiki(s) to be easy to update and maintain moving forward
• The intersection matrix will have been documented in Confluence allowing the Wiki(s) to be easy to update and maintain moving forward
• Where a Current State Process/Procedure was not viable to streamline because of time constraints, the remediation steps will be documented in the Wiki associated with the Process/Procedure
• A summary of what the ZTD Engineering Process Analyst has learned will be shared with the larger ZTD organization in a presentation given at the conclusion of the engagement
