Role Summary

The Process Owner is accountable for the end-to-end SAP S/4HANA Procurement / S2P process, owning design, governance and continuous improvement. They act as the primary liaison between business stakeholders, IT and implementation partners to ensure standardised, scalable and compliant process execution across Procurement and integrated functions.

Key accountabilities of the role

Process Governance - Own the end-to-end S2P process design and business process architecture; define and approve system requirements and workflows so SAP S/4HANA reflects standardised, scalable and auditable process flows across functions.
Master Data Management - Ensure data quality, standardisation and accurate mapping for key data objects (e.g. Business Partner, vendor master), including during the centralised SAP S/4HANA Business Partner transition.
Testing & Validation - Lead and coordinate UAT cycles; validate that roles, authorisations and workflows reflect real-world responsibilities without compromising SoD or security.
Continuous Improvement - Define and track KPIs for process performance; identify pain points and drive optimisation, simplification and automation opportunities across S2P.
Stakeholder Management - Act as primary point of contact for process stakeholders; manage expectations, communicate progress, and address issues, risks and dependencies.
Controls & Compliance - Work closely with security, internal controls and finance to ensure Segregation of Duties (SoD) is respected, and that access configurations prevent single users from initiating and approving the same financial transactions.Key skills and experience
