DESCRIPTION:

Our client is looking for multiple SAP Consultants with various levels of End-to-End (E2E) Process Design experience.

Responsibilities include:

• Establishing a framework by which to evaluate all E2E processes using a fit-to standard approach to evaluate what process changes need to occur to fit into S4 HANA standard configuration.
• Partnering with Governance, Organizational Change Management, Solutions Design, and Data teams to appropriately route analyses of alternatives to appropriate decision authorities.
• Leading cross-functional and cross-domain teams organized by each E2E process, referred to as E2E Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). Sub-teams include but may not be limited to:
• BUDGET-TO-REPORT (B2R)SAP Modules: SAP FI (Financial Accounting), SAP CO (Controlling), SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation), plus SAP Public Sector Management (PSM)
• PROCURE-TO-PAY (P2P)SAP Modules: SAP MM (Materials Management), SAP SRM (Supplier Relationship Management), SAP FI-AP (Accounts Payable), plus SAP PSM for Public Sector Funds Management.

• Documenting all processes, including S4 standard processes, client current state processes, gaps in process, analysis of alternatives for each gap, and decisions about each gap (customize S4 or change the business process).
• Developing key metrics for each E2E that will be used while partnering with the Data team to baseline performance in the current SAP solution and establish a plan to continuously monitor these metrics throughout migration.
• Developing and implementing a strategy for process modeling and related data capture to drive fit-to-standard business process re-engineering.
• Developing use cases and user stories to be leveraged for system and process requirements documentation.
• Developing a controls environment for each end-to-end process, and providing financial statement audit expertise in order to do so.
