  • Support solution testing, user acceptance, rollout, adoption and post-implementation stabilization of new Procurement processes and digital tools.
  • Track implementation issues, risks, decisions and corrective actions, escalating material matters to the CPO where required.
  • Prepare concise, high-quality management materials, analyses and recommendations to support CPO and stakeholder decision-making.
  • Support change adoption by translating new processes and tools into clear guidance, communications and practical ways of working for Procurement and business users.
  • Maintain a strong delivery focus, ensuring transformation initiatives move beyond analysis and design into practical implementation and measurable business outcomes.
