Job Summary
The SAP Procure-to-Pay Lead will work closely with business teams to implement and enhance solutions and processes within SAP. This role is responsible for providing expertise on end-to-end procurement processes, from vendor setup and purchasing (utilizing methods like guided buying, MRP, Min/Max, and standard purchase orders) to accounts payable, including invoice management, supplier payments, and GR/IR reconciliation.
While the role focuses on procurement, it also requires a solid understanding of materials management, goods receiving, and the setup of material master data.
This position encompasses project delivery, user support, and continuous process improvements but does not involve SAP configuration or technical development. Instead, the role acts as a bridge between business users and IT, emphasizing requirements management, project delivery, data mapping and conversion, change management, user training, and post-implementation support.

- Lead the rollout of SAP solutions and processes across various regions, specifically within SAP S4 HANA and Ariba platforms.
- Execute assigned implementation deliverables, ensuring deadlines are met for projects and enhancements.
- Manage scope, fit-gap analysis, user acceptance testing (UAT), data migration, and change management activities.
- Create and deliver high-quality project documentation, user training materials, and support resources in multiple formats.
- Conduct system demonstrations, training sessions, and presentations to empower the user community.
- Resolve user issues promptly by working directly with users or collaborating with the SAP support team.
- Identify roles and impacted users to ensure appropriate system access is provisioned.
- Develop and execute test cases and scripts to support UAT and ensure system reliability.
- Maintain up-to-date Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for procurement and financial system processes.
- Provide regular status updates to leadership on implementation progress and challenges.
- Ensure adherence to deadlines and support cross-functional teams to meet project milestones.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain, or a related field with an emphasis on Procure-to-Pay processes.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in SAP Materials Management (MM) and Accounts Payable (AP).
- 2+ years of experience working with SAP S4 HANA and Ariba.
- Proven expertise as an end user, key user, or business lead in SAP MM and AP modules.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other MS Office applications, including handling large data sets.
- Strong interpersonal and organizational skills with the ability to work independently.
- Must have authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship.
- This is a hybrid role based in the Chicago, IL area.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in SAP implementation projects.
- Background in publicly traded companies or industries such as manufacturing or consumer goods.
- Familiarity with highly regulated environments or compliance-driven processes.
