As a Senior Business IS Consultant, you will provide consistent and direct engagement with clients at all levels in order to gain a deep understanding of the client area needs and opportunities. You will also be required to possess a detailed and thorough understanding of the client's key business processes. As an employee of Boehringer Ingelheim, you will actively contribute to the discovery, development and delivery of our products to our patients and customers. Our global presence provides opportunity for all employees to collaborate internationally, offering visibility and opportunity to directly contribute to the companies' success.

*Establish and manage relationships with external vendors in support of initiatives. Lead and participate in vendor evaluation, RFP process and selection of software and service vendors.
