Job description

A newly formed IT function, and a platform to own from day one.

We are working with a substantial Irish business with international operations, currently building out its own internal IT capability. The heavy lifting on systems is behind them; what comes next is shaping how those systems are run and where they go. It needs people who want to own something rather than inherit it.

This is the SAP Procure to Pay Senior Analyst appointment, sitting in a newly established systems centre of excellence covering manufacturing and supply chain, and reporting to its Manager.

Why people say yes to this one

The culture, honestly. It is flat, grounded, and genuinely collaborative — the leadership team is as approachable as anyone else in the building. There is a start-up feel to the new IT function that is rare in a business of this scale, which means visible influence and the chance to make a mark early. Modern offices, hybrid working, on-site parking, and a good few other things worth having.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

• Own SAP procurement and SAP Ariba end to end — not just keeping the lights on, but deciding where these platforms go next.
• Configuration, integration, and adoption of Ariba.
• Requirements gathering through solution design, testing, and deployment on P2P developments. Performance, incidents, and the troubleshooting that keeps a large, multi-site operation moving. You would be the IT point of contact that procurement, finance, and external partners come to, and you would manage the workload of a dedicated offshore resource who functions as an extension of the team.

ABOUT THE PERSON:

• Five-plus years in SAP procurement and Ariba administration, ideally in a supply chain environment, with SAP certification behind it.
• Strong SAP ERP and purchasing-workflow knowledge, integration and automation experience, and a track record of running IT projects in procurement or supply chain. Experience of a full SAP deployment would put you well ahead.
• More than any of that: you need to be a business analyst first and a technologist second. The person who succeeds here is the one you can leave in a room with the business, confident they will translate a technical solution into something a stakeholder can act on.
• Some exposure to managing or directing the work of others matters too.
