CoE Automation Lead F/M/X

Location: Aimargues (30 minutes from Montpellier), Haguenau (30 minutes from Strasbourg), Slough (United Kingdom)

Type of contract: Permanent contract

The strategic ambition is to serve 35 million pets and generate $7 billion NSV by 2025. These ambitions call for capabilities enabling sustainable omni-channel growth, inventory turnover ratio improvement, real-time analytics and visibility driven by data, channel expansion seamlessly integrated, and confirmed customer satisfaction in line with the quality and passion we put in our products.

In 2021, we acknowledged the need for Enterprise Architecture changes based on an analysis looking at our business needs, current pain points, technical gaps, and strategic vision. The current application systems architecture supporting order to cash, produce to deliver, and record to record business capabilities is not adapted to the business growth and evolution beyond 2026. To enable Vision 2025, several transformation programs have already started, and others must be launched. These programs focus on standardization of business processes and are not just systems upgrades or changes. They are business transformations needing a specific organizational design to ensure quality, efficiency, governance, visibility, and transparency. They must be business-led from the top of the organization down to every unit.

What are we looking for?

The role is global across all regions and functions. It delivers automation solutions to various stakeholders, including all SAP ERP functional streams and the Petcare transformation Digital Technology Team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead automation activities delivered to functional streams and their business counterparts.
• Lead automation delivered internally within the Petcare transformation Digital Technology team.
• Engage with stakeholders to seek, identify, and understand needs.
• Proactively propose automation ideas.
• Bring leading knowledge in the automation area, scanning the environment for new existing solutions and partnering with experts from SAP and other third companies.
