Job Overview

As a member of the SAP Ariba Consulting organization, you are involved in transforming businesses through the implementation and use of the leading cloud procurement solutions of SAP Ariba.

Business Process Associate Consulting

As an junior consultant on a project, you support customers through the lifecycle of an SAP Ariba implementation. You support the blueprinting process driven by more senior Ariba Consultants taking notes and preparing meeting minutes, gather customer requirements and support the design workshops leveraging best practices. You will also assist in the development of processes and procedures, which will leverage SAP Ariba solutions in the customer organization. You support the final configuration of the solution and drive the customer on user acceptance testing phase and support in resolving issues/defects.

You have some knowledge on SAP Ariba solutions and best practices. You leverage this knowledge to ensure that a high quality solution will be deployed that will bring value to the customer business, will be easy to use and easy to maintain. You know that you can only achieve this if you collaborate closely with the customer team and build constructive and positive relationships with all key stakeholders especially during the testing phase where you would have a more prominent responsibility in front of the customer.

During the deployment, you provide progress information and escalate project issues to the project manager and the other consultants on the project to help ensure deliverables are on time and within budget.

Who are you?

- You enjoy working in a challenging environment where you are encouraged to take initiative. You demonstrate high energy and motivation. You have an internal drive to deliver high quality outcomes.
- You are comfortable working in an international environment where you have to collaborate with people remotely.
- You have strong analytical and problem solving capabilities.
- You may be just out of University or have limited consulting experience but what is important is your strong interpersonal skills, your communication capabilities and the trust you inspire when advising others.
- You have an affinity with IT solutions or some experience as a super user for IT solutions to understand the challenges and complexities that come with digitalizing business processes.
- You are passionate but you maintain a rational and objective demeanor when faced with stressful or emotional situations. You express yourself clearly, using language with precision. You show an openness to people and a willingness to hear what others have to say.
- You have the ability to perceive and understand the feelings and attitudes of others, the ability to place oneself "in the shoes" of another and to view a situation from their perspective.
- You understand that initially you will have to absorb a great deal of new information, gain initial experience and support more operational activities. However, once you will have overcome that hurdle you will enjoy feeling empowered to leverage your own experience and make a difference.
- Most importantly, you are not perfect and maybe you do not master all these expectations but you believe in their value and want to work hard to master them.
