Develop detailed source-to-contract, procure-to-pay and invoice-to-pay process designs with appropriate business and technical controls.
Apply SAP S/4HANA Procurement, SAP MM, SAP Ariba and relevant non-SAP platforms to practical target process and technology options.
Assess supplier onboarding, purchasing channels, contract usage, catalogues, invoice matching and exception-handling requirements.
Collaborate with Supply Chain Planning, Finance, Data and Solution Architecture teams to resolve cross-functional process and system dependencies.
Define supplier, material, purchasing, contract and invoice data requirements, including governance, quality and migration implications.
Identify opportunities for AI-enabled sourcing intelligence, contract review, supplier risk monitoring, guided buying and autonomous exception handling.
Lead stakeholder alignment, detailed design, implementation planning and measurement of procurement outcomes.
Build trusted client relationships, lead multidisciplinary teams, coach colleagues and support business development within our SAP Technology Transformation practice.
