JOB DESCRIPTION:

As we work to transform and optimize Mars, a new program has been mobilized by the Mars leadership team. The program is focused on the design and implementation of SAP S/4Hana in Mars across Segments (Petcare, Corporate, Snacking & Food). Much more than a simple “Lift and Shift,” this program will undertake a major process simplification and harmonization scope as we digitally transform our business.
The program is focused primarily on eight mega process areas: Finance, Source to Pay (procurement and vendor mgmt.), Plan to Fulfill (manufacturing and distribution), Lead to Cash (order processing and payment), Governance, Engage to Consume (marketing), Idea to Market (R&D), and Recruit to Retire (HR). This transformation requires thought leadership, quality decision making, deep technical know-how, and an ability to navigate complex business challenges while applying a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to each of these mega processes. As part of program, a new role has been created to lead the SAP technical infrastructure workstream, managing the end to end Basis operations, and ensuring seamless integration across multi-instance S/4Hana landscape. This role is a critical leadership role demanding a balanced blend of technical expertise and strategic thinking; as well as driving a robust scalable and secure SAP ecosystem aligned with global standards.
Do you thrive working in the project environment? Do you have a deep understanding of SAP products and technologies and previous experience coordinating SAP transformation projects?
