About The Position

In this position, the client's Integrated ERP (I-ERP) program is standardizing global procurement on SAP and Ariba, changing how buyers and suppliers manage sourcing, purchasing, and supplier onboarding. As the business voice of the cutover, you will work with IT, Finance, MP&L, Learning & Development, and other cross-functional teams to understand what each cutover activity means for the supply chain community, and then prepare buyers and suppliers for it. This is a business role, not an IT role. You will help develop the business cutover plan, take part in Conference Room Pilots (CRPs) and other launch readiness activities, and turn what you learn into communications, training support, and leadership presentations. This role is ideal for a supply chain professional with hands-on buying experience who can translate technical change into practical impacts for the people doing the work.

• Three or more years of experience in supply chain, including hands-on experience as a buyer (production, program, commodity, or indirect) and a solid understanding of the purchasing process.
• Experience in ERP or system implementation, change management, cutover, or business readiness, or a strong interest in these areas.
• Ability to understand technical or system changes and explain what they mean for business users.
• Strong written communication skills and experience creating communications, training materials, and leadership presentations.
• Strong planning and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced launch environment.
• Ability to work with global, cross-functional teams, including IT, Finance, and Learning & Development.
