About The Position

This advisory and assurance role provides best-practice guidance, independent implementation risk assessment, and knowledge transfer for Coupa CLMA, RPMA, and Core-related capabilities. The consultant will advise on module configuration, challenge existing design decisions, and identify approaches that may not work at scale. They will assess configuration, adoption, data, and release-cycle risks ahead of a go/no-go checkpoint and recommend mitigations. They will also help the internal team become capable of configuring and troubleshooting the modules. The role includes hands-on configuration work in the client instance, but is not a delivery, build, or programme management role. Requirements and target processes are already documented; the consultant will review, challenge, and improve them rather than lead discovery from scratch. Success requires the confidence to give and defend an independent opinion, including identifying problems rather than simply confirming existing assumptions. Deliverables include a written implementation risk assessment with mitigations and a readiness opinion, a configuration handbook, and knowledge-transfer sessions with the internal team and Coupa administrator. The consultant must be able to work European business hours.

Requirements

At least 3 years of hands-on Coupa configuration and implementation experience.
At least one Coupa CLM Advanced or RPMA implementation delivered to go-live, with personal responsibility for configuration. CLM Standard alone or supplier onboarding in SIM alone does not qualify.
Working knowledge of Coupa Core/P2P and SIM sufficient to reason about how contracts and risk connect to Core modules.
Ability to work directly in a customer instance, not only produce design documentation.
Ability to give an independent opinion and defend it under challenge.
Fluent English and comfort working with legal, procurement, and compliance stakeholders.
Availability to work European business hours.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience across both CLM-A and RPMA (Risk Assess and/or Risk Aware), rather than only one.
Coupa Sourcing and Coupa Analytics configured in production.
Coupa certifications in CLM-A, Risk Assess, Platform, Supplier Information Management, Core Implementation Specialist, or Procure-to-Pay System Administrator.
Experience designing CLM and supplier risk together rather than as separate projects.
Coupa Contract Intelligence in production.
Coupa AI/Navi or Agent Studio experience.

Responsibilities

Advise on CLMA configuration, including contract type libraries, templates, workflows, clause libraries, risk scoring, fallback language, approval chains, roles, content groups, repository visibility, amendments, renewals, obligation tracking, and legacy contract migration.
Advise on RPMA configuration for multi-domain third-party risk assessments, including questionnaires, scoring models, mitigation workflows, reassessment cadence, Risk Aware data feeds, supplier health score calibration, supplier tiering, risk programme operating models, and alignment with supplier master data.
Review cross-module design connecting supplier risk status, contract records, sourcing events, and the Core estate, including ways to avoid duplicate data capture across intake forms, supplier records, and risk questionnaires.
Advise on sourcing event templates and configuration, and the handover from sourcing outcomes to contract records.
Assess Coupa native analytics across contract, risk, and sourcing objects, and identify where reporting should move to an external BI layer.
Assess Coupa AI capabilities, including Contract Intelligence, AI metadata extraction, AI risk monitoring, and Agent Studio; recommend what belongs in the first release and what should be deferred.
Produce a written implementation risk assessment with mitigations and a readiness opinion ahead of a go/no-go checkpoint.
Create a configuration handbook.
Deliver knowledge-transfer sessions to the internal team and Coupa administrator.
Work directly in the customer instance to advise on and perform configuration, and provide an independent opinion that can be defended under challenge.
