About the Role

The implementation of Modern Enterprise Resource Planning (MERP) is a critical step in the organisation’s transformation journey, moving from outdated technology (ECC6) to a new, digitally enabled lean core platform, SAP S/4HANA, and its wider application ecosystem.

As this is a business-led, group-wide transformation effort, it requires a strong team to bridge the business and technology landscapes. From contract to cash, every aspect of operations will benefit from this modernisation, delivering a digital foundation that supports ongoing transformation. The organisation is looking to deploy a modern ERP as its core platform, supported by best-of-breed and best-of-suite technologies across processes.

This role will be responsible for the successful delivery of work items supporting Move & Sell Commercial Reports and Analytics applications across enterprise platforms and solutions. Key subject areas include deal and contract management, order administration, transportation management, including deliveries and shipments, invoicing, billing and receivables, underpinned by pricing, credit management, customer, product and logistics master data.

The role is accountable for shaping and delivering the future-state reporting landscape for the Move & Sell workstream within the Modern ERP programme. It provides subject matter expertise across reporting and analytics, ensuring reporting solutions are aligned with standardised processes, data governance principles and clean-core objectives.

This role works closely with business stakeholders, GPOs, stewards and custodians, Project Business Improvement Leads, delivery managers, system integrators, MERP technical teams and the Commercial Digital Data Management team to prioritise reporting demands, manage remediation and new-build initiatives, and reduce duplication and bespoke reporting.
