  • Manage full Master Data lifecycle, including master data creation, maintenance, and retirement.
  • Manage the change request process and individual change delivery activities, including overseeing design, approval, and delivery processes for all changes to system configuration, use, and associated business processes.
  • Contribute to the management of external partners and suppliers.
  • Support the management of licences and costs of service.
  • Collaborate with the Finance Team to ensure comprehensive documentation of all operating procedures and ensure compliance.
  • Lead on system upgrades and implementations, offering expertise and support.
  • Advise on and apply scheduled S/4HANA Public Cloud patches and updates.
  • Support the efficiency and functionality of related SAP systems (Concur, Sales Cloud, Success Factors) and other related software.
