Pet Nutrition (PN) is the most vibrant category in the FMCG sector.

As we work to transform this exciting category, a new program named Shepherd, has been mobilised by the Mars Pet Nutrition leadership team.

Shepherd is focused on the implementation of SAP S/4Hana for Pet Nutrition.

Much more than a simple "Lift and Shift," this programme will undertake a major process simplification and harmonisation scope as we digitally transform our business.

Finance, Source to Pay (procurement and vendor mgmt.), Plan to Fulfil (manufacturing and distribution), Lead to Cash (order processing and payment), Governance, Engage to Consume (marketing), Idea to Market (R&D), and Recruit to Retire (HR).

This transformation requires thought leadership, quality decision making, deep technical know-how, and the ability to navigate complex business challenges while applying a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to each of these mega processes.

As part of Shepherd, a new role has been created to manage the Data & Analytics area for Finance.

As part of Shepherd SAP S/4Hana Digital Transformation program, we require the highest level of data & analytics engineering expertise.

There is a need to build a high-performing team of creative, skilled individuals – to help delivery this major ERP Transformation within the Pet Nutrition.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the Pet Nutrition area and will be working closely with all other counterparts in Mars (i.e. Royal Canin, Corporate, Snacking and Food) to merge all key timelines and activities related to the D&A.
