Your challenges

KPMG Technology in the Netherlands leverages SAP solutions to drive digital transformation and optimize business processes for sustainable growth.

The role of a manager can vary depending on the industry (focus on FMCG, Retail, Energy & Utilities and Discreet Manufacturing) and the specific needs of the organization. In general, our managers must combine good knowledge of the business needs and goals of the organization, with the functional and technical understanding of the technologies they are working with.

A couple of things to give more perspective on the challenges we bring to you:

• Overall, a manager plays a critical role in helping organizations leverage their technology to achieve their business goals and objectives in the Procurement domain
• Working with external and internal stakeholders to ensure that the solution meets their needs and is aligned with the organization's goals
• Analyzing business requirements/use cases and identifying required technology solutions/configurations that will meet those requirements
• Developing detailed plans and strategies for implementing SAP Procurement solutions
• Advise on technical integration of the SAP application with other client and 3rd party tools/applications
• Advise on Procurement/ enterprise data modelling including data migration and data integrity as part of the deployment engagement
• Identifying potential risks and issues and developing plans to mitigate them
• Lead the growth of our SAP Procurement capabilities through sharing knowledge, developing thought leadership and supporting the career aspirations of team members
• Building long lasting relations with your clients

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.

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.
