About The Position

We are seeking an experienced SAP S/4HANA P2P Transformation Lead to support a large-scale global ERP transformation initiative. This role serves as the critical bridge between business stakeholders, system integrators, and project leadership—guiding decisions on how best to align SAP standard capabilities with business processes across the Procure-to-Pay lifecycle (Requisition → Purchase Order → Goods Receipt → Invoice Approval). Serve as the primary business representative for Procure-to-Pay process design, solution validation, user readiness, and adoption during the SAP S/4HANA greenfield implementation. Partner closely with IT, system integrator teams, and business stakeholders to ensure SAP standard processes are understood, adopted, and translated into practical business operations. Act as a change champion and super user for the business before, during, and after go-live. This is a highly visible role requiring both deep functional expertise and strong executive communication skills to drive alignment, influence decisions, and ensure a successful implementation and stabilization. This is not a remote role-must be within driving distance to Alpharetta, Georgia.
