Senior Manager SAP Procurement

As a Senior Manager SAP Procurement, you will be responsible for guiding our clients in designing and delivering SAP Procurement technology solutions that support complex business transformations enabled by S/4HANA.

Do you want to contribute to our Technology Advisory team by shaping strategic SAP Procurement transformations while coaching teams and strengthening client partnerships?

Your challenges

The Powered Apps teams are communities of technology focused professionals who work together to deliver KPMG Powered Enterprise through a standardized delivery model, which drives professional delivery to clients. The international teams use their functional knowledge and experience (e.g. Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement), coupled with their expertise in the cloud applications (e.g. SAP, Ariba) to lead and deliver client programs, support pre-sales activities and develop improvement and extensions to Powered Enterprise.

This is what you bring

As a Senior Manager, you act as the strategic link between business leadership and technology teams, guiding organizations through complex Procurement transformations enabled by SAP solutions such as S/4HANA, Central Procurement, SAP Ariba and SAP BTP. You will lead the Procurement track within large-scale transformation programs while ensuring strong stakeholder alignment and successful delivery.

You work closely with senior client stakeholders, program leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure the transformation delivers tangible business value. At the same time, you play a key role in developing the next generation of consultants by coaching team members and supporting their professional growth.

Of course you will not do this alone but as part of a team. KPMG has a world-class accelerated Enterprise Business Transformation approach called Powered Enterprise for cloud-based solutions that uses pre-designed back-office leading practices and KPMG’s six-layer Target Operating Model. This includes our best practice approach for finance processes (record to report, source to pay, order to cash, acquire to retire, project to result, plan to perform and treasury). This enables clients to make better, faster decisions, resulting in a quicker implementation and a faster path to Return on Investment. This solution combines the breadth and scale of KPMG’s leading practice, capabilities and insight into a complete solution for an effective back-office.
