• Partner with business process owners, architects, project leadership, and implementation partners to shape scalable and standardized solutions.
• Support global template governance, fit-gap activities, testing, training, deployment readiness, adoption, and stabilization.
• Balance global design principles and process harmonization with legitimate regional and regulatory requirements.
• Lead, coach, and develop a global team of ERP Specialists.
• Set clear priorities, accountability, and ways of working across operational support and transformation activities.
• Build long-term internal ERP capabilities through mentoring, knowledge sharing, documentation, and structured development of ERP leads.
