Job summary

ABB Robotics is hiring an Implementation Manager to drive the global Quote-to-Order process and digital solutions across regions. You will work with country teams to map current processes to the global target, identify gaps, and lead changes across CPQ, ERP, and related tools.

You will coordinate regional implementation plans, support training, testing, and go-live, and ensure smooth handover to SAP S/4HANA. This role requires travel and strong stakeholder management across multiple countries.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of proven experience in commercial process implementation, digital transformation or business change roles in a B2B environment.
• Good understanding of commercial processes such as quotation, pricing, configuration, sales operations or order handling.
• Experience working with commercial platforms such as CPQ, CRM, CLM or ERP is an advantage.
• Experience with commercial processes integrated with SAP S/4HANA or comparable ERP environments is an advantage.
• Strong stakeholder management and facilitation skills.

• Support countries through a complete tool landscape transformation — you'll be equally comfortable helping teams understand new processes and navigating new tools.
• Act as the primary business process advisor and second-level tool support contact for your region's countries.
• Coordinate deployment of CPQ and related solutions, including the commercial process integration and handover into SAP S/4HANA.
• Act as the primary Quote-to-Order implementation contact for your region’s countries, building trusted relationships with sales organizations and key stakeholders.
