Qualifications

As a Senior Manager, you act as the strategic link between business leadership and technology teams, guiding organizations through complex Procurement transformations enabled by SAP solutions such as S/4HANA, Central Procurement, SAP Ariba and SAP BTP. You will lead the Procurement track within large-scale transformation programs while ensuring strong stakeholder alignment and successful delivery.

You work closely with senior client stakeholders, program leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure the transformation delivers tangible business value. At the same time, you play a key role in developing the next generation of consultants by coaching team members and supporting their professional growth.

You will be involved in the full transformation lifecycle: from client acquisition and strategy development to solution design, implementation and long-term optimization. Your role also includes shaping proposals, contributing to account development and strengthening KPMG’s position as a trusted transformation partner.

Of course you will not do this alone but as part of a team. KPMG has a world-class accelerated Enterprise Business Transformation approach called Powered Enterprise for cloud-based solutions that uses pre-designed back-office leading practices and KPMG’s six-layer Target Operating Model. This includes our best practice approach for finance processes (record to report, source to pay, order to cash, acquire to retire, project to result, plan to perform and treasury). This enables clients to make better, faster decisions, resulting in a quicker implementation and a faster path to Return on Investment. This solution combines the breadth and scale of KPMG’s leading practice, capabilities and insight into a complete solution for an effective back-office.

The international teams use their functional knowledge and experience (e.g. Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement), coupled with their expertise in the cloud applications (e.g. SAP, Ariba) to lead and deliver client programs, support pre-sales activities and develop improvements and extensions to Powered Enterprise.
