Role Summary

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 after, 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.

• Provide continuity post go-live and support stabilization
• Provide recommendations for organization structure requirements to support the ERP
• Gather, document, and validate business requirements, process gaps, and functional needs across the P2P lifecycle.
• Review and validate solution designs proposed by IT and/or the system integrator to ensure alignment with business requirements and operational realities.
• Support fit-to-standard workshops and help drive business decisions required for SAP S/4HANA design.
• Lead or heavily participate in User Acceptance Testing, including test scenario development, test script execution, defect triage, and business sign-off.
• Coordinate business user participation in testing, training, cutover readiness, and hypercare support.
• Develop training materials, job aids, and process documentation in partnership with project and change management teams.
• Conduct or support end-user training for procurement, finance, supply chain, and related business users.
• Serve as a post-implementation super user, providing first-line business support, issue triage, and continuous improvement feedback.
• Help identify change impacts, readiness risks, and adoption barriers across affected business teams.

Required Qualifications

• 8–15+ years of SAP Procure-to-Pay (P2P) experience
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA (required) and SAP Fiori (required)
• Experience with SAP ECC / R3 P2P (preferred)
• Strong knowledge of requisitioning, purchase orders, goods receipt, invoice processing, and vendor management
• Proven experience supporting ERP transformations, UAT, and go-live
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder management skills
• Hands-on experience serving as a business lead, super user, process owner, or functional SME on an SAP implementation.
• Demonstrated experience with business requirements gathering, process validation, UAT execution, and end-user training.
• Strong understanding of how business process decisions translate into SAP capabilities, controls, reporting, and user experience.
• Ability to work effectively with IT, system integrators, business stakeholders, and end users.
• Strong facilitation skills with the ability to lead workshops, training sessions, and business readiness discussions.
