This individual will serve as the business process authority for Order Management, partnering across business, IT, and implementation teams to standardize processes, facilitate fit-gap assessments, and guide stakeholders through organizational change and adoption.
Key Focus Areas
- Lead Fit-to-Standard and Fit-Gap assessments, comparing current-state processes against the SAP S/4HANA template and determining where the business can adopt standard capabilities versus where true business requirements exist.
- Analyze and document differences between multiple business units and ERP environments, identifying common processes, unique requirements, and opportunities for standardization.
- Drive discussions around what is fundamentally required versus nice-to-have functionality, challenging business assumptions and facilitating informed decision-making.
- Shape and orchestrate process design sessions, ensuring stakeholders remain focused on delivering scalable, standardized solutions.
- Serve as the primary liaison between business teams, IT, and implementation partners, driving alignment, decision-making, and timely sign-offs.
Business Process Ownership & Documentation
- Own and maintain Business Process Descriptions (BPDs) and supporting process artifacts for Order Management processes, including sales order capture and associated workflows.
- Develop and maintain high-quality process documentation, ensuring clear traceability from requirements through design, testing, and deployment.
- Define and govern process standards, controls, and readiness deliverables required for deployment approval.
Testing, Deployment & Hypercare
- Develop test scenarios and procedures, execute testing activities, and manage defect triage, retesting, and resolution sign-offs.
- Align testing scope and data requirements with stakeholders to ensure meaningful end-to-end process validation.
- Support training development, end-user enablement, go-live readiness activities, and post-go-live stabilization and hypercare support.
Change Management & Stakeholder Leadership
- Help shape users' understanding of new ways of working and support the organization through significant process change and adoption challenges.
- Facilitate workshops and influence stakeholders across global and regional teams, helping the business transition from legacy processes to standardized SAP S/4HANA capabilities.
- Build credibility by challenging business teams constructively and guiding them toward practical, scalable solutions.
