Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Establish, lead, and continuously evolve an enterprise-wide E2E process governance function for C&A by embedding a scalable, lean, and outcome-focused framework; ensuring clear ownership, accountability, standards, and system-of-record documentation; chairing governance forums (Working Group and Steering Committee) to drive alignment and decision-making; fostering a strong cross-functional process community; and enabling enterprise-wide capability uplift through structured change prioritization, playbooks, training, and coaching.
- Lead the F4F E2E process workstream. Develop and maintain a clear, executable roadmap aligned with the overall transformation programme. Ensure delivery against agreed objectives, proactively remove blockers, and ensure appropriate staffing and resource utilisation to meet timelines.
- Ensure timely definition of interim, transition, and future-state (To-Be) end-to-end processes across the full F4F scope, starting with early MVPs (e.g., Assortment Planning). Align future-state processes to fashion industry best practice, track execution against agreed milestones, surface risks early, and connect E2E processes to downstream governance (change, testing, cutover, and adoption).
- Define, recommend, and secure leadership alignment on end-to-end roles and responsibilities required to support new ways of working across the future operating model.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate risks and issues across the E2E process landscape. Develop and drive action plans to resolve blockers or delays. Provide regular, transparent progress and risk updates to senior leadership.
- Steer external process expertise (System Integrator) to accelerate E2E process definition and ensure alignment with SAP and industry best practice.
