• Bring strong functional expertise in Procurement-to-Pay processes, particularly Accounts Payable and payment processes, along with proven experience in ERP implementations involving leading ERP solutions such as SAP, Oracle, or equivalent enterprise platforms.
• Support the ERP programme across multiple phases by applying senior business analysis expertise, strong knowledge of standard ERP capabilities and market practices, and the ability to challenge existing processes and legacy-driven assumptions.
• Focus specifically on Procurement-to-Pay processes, particularly Accounts Payable and payment processes.
