• 
  Process Authority
  : Lead the detailed analysis and documentation of
  current Manufacturing Direct Procurement processes (including Bill of
  Materials (BOM) management, receiving, and inventory control in Signavio. Assess
  the current P2P process landscape, identify inefficiencies, and recommend
  optimization opportunities across policy, process, controls and technology.
• 
  Upstream/Downstream
  Impact:
  Identify and analyze
  integration pain points, focusing on the upstream impacts from Planning (MRP)
  and the downstream impacts to Finance (AP) and Production/Logistics. Conduct
  root-cause analysis on recurring issues, operational bottlenecks, or experience
  gaps and propose targeted improvements
• 
  Drive Immediate
  Improvements:
  Independently drive P2P
  improvement initiatives from concept to execution, ensuring clear objectives,
  deliverables and timelines. Develop business cases, value assessments and
  impact analyses to support decision making. Propose and execute procedural and
  data-based "Quick Wins" (e.g., Master Data cleanup, SOP revisions) to
  optimize the As-Is environment and reduce complexity before the S/4HANA
  rollout. Support testing activities for process and system changes
• 
  Controls,
  Compliance and Quality Assurance
• 
  Evaluate existing
  process controls and identify opportunities to strengthen compliance and risk
  mitigation
• 
  Support
  standardization and simplification efforts to ensure consistent policy
  adherence across regions, categories and user groups
• 
  Partner with
  internal control and audit functions to address findings and embed remediation
  into future state processes

• 
  Functional Integration:
  Ensure the STP global template achieves seamless
  integration with Plan-to-Make and Quote-to-Cash processes. Validate that

• 
  Stakeholder Partnership & Change:
• 
  Coordinate closely with cross-functional
  stakeholders especially Material/ Supply Chain Planners, Manufacturing Site
  Teams, and IT—to validate requirements and secure alignment. Collaborate with them
  to validate requirements, secure alignment and ensure smooth hand-offs. Monitor
  initiative progress, escalate risks or roadblocks and ensure delivery quality
• 
  Driver Mindset:
  Act as the Driver for the Direct Material stream, pushing
  execution, escalating risks, and ensuring all partners are delivering
  their readiness milestones on time
• 
  Quality Assurance:
  Support UAT by validating complex manufacturing
  scenarios (e.g., Subcontracting, Consignment) in the SAP environment
• 
  Conflict Resolution:
  Drive the resolution of design decisions where
  Procurement policy conflicts with Production reality, finding a pragmatic
  global standard
• 
  Prepare clear and concise materials
  (presentations, process documentation, dashboards) to support leadership
  reviews and decision making
• 
  Provide guidance
  to operational teams on process changes, ensuring successful adoption and
  sustained performance
