Senior Director, GPO, Procure to Delivery (Remote)

Core Responsibilities

• Partner directly with business unit procurement, supply chain, operations, finance (AP), and regional teams to collaboratively define future-state P2D processes, system requirements, and embedded controls.
• Facilitate workshops, conduct fit-gap analysis, and document detailed business, functional, and control requirements that feed into the global JDE blueprint.
• Ensure requirements reflect business needs while driving toward global standardization, control effectiveness, and compliance readiness.
• Lead the definition and approval of the global P2D process blueprint, including supplier and item master governance, purchasing policies and approval workflows, receiving and inventory processes, exception management, and integrated controls and reporting.
• Design, implement, and embed robust, system-enforced operational and financial controls within ERP across P2D to support a strong internal control environment (preventive, detective, and compensating controls).
• Develop, review, and maintain comprehensive test scripts and scenarios that validate both process/system functionality and control operating effectiveness.
• Plan and lead all phases of user acceptance testing (UAT) across business units, including control-specific test cases, defect management, re-testing, and final sign-off.
• Oversee data migration validation and cutover testing relevant to P2D and associated controls (e.g., suppliers, items, contracts/pricing, open POs, inventory balances, and in-flight receipts).
• Design and deliver organization-wide training programs (instructor-led, e-learning, train-the-trainer) covering the new global P2D processes, ERP functionality, and critical controls.
• Create high-quality global process documentation, control narratives, role-based work instructions, quick-reference guides, and job aids.
• Lead change management activities to drive adoption, address resistance, and ensure procurement, supply chain, operations, and shared services users understand and consistently execute the new processes and controls.
• Establish and enforce global P2D policies, procedures, KPIs (PO cycle time, contract compliance, supplier on-time delivery, inventory accuracy, three-way match rates, exception aging, and on-time-in-full), and the global control framework.
• Partner with global and business-unit leaders (Procurement, Supply Chain, Operations, Finance/AP, and Quality/Compliance) to monitor performance, resolve cross-functional issues, and ensure consistent execution of P2D processes and controls.
• Drive automation and continuous improvement to reduce cycle times, improve compliance, strengthen inventory and receiving discipline, and enhance overall service, cost, and control reliability.
• Identify post-go-live optimization opportunities (automation, exception management, advanced analytics, control enhancements) across the P2D lifecycle.
• Maintain a leading-edge global P2D process by monitoring benchmarks, compliance expectations, and best practices.
• Support adjacent end-to-end transformation initiatives that rely on a strong P2D foundation (e.g., Plan/Make, Order to Cash, and Record to Report integrations).

Skills & Competencies

• Deep subject-matter expertise in P2D processes: supplier onboarding and management, purchasing execution, approval workflows, receiving and put-away, three-way match touchpoints, inventory accuracy and controls, returns, and delivery/fulfilment enablement.
• Strong understanding of operational and financial controls relevant to procurement and supply chain (e.g., purchasing authority, supplier master governance, three-way match, inventory controls, and segregation of duties), as well as working-capital drivers (inventory turns and payment terms).
• Excellent business analysis and requirements elicitation skills; ability to translate business needs into clear, testable system requirements and control points.
• Strong project management, testing, and change management expertise; familiarity with structured methodologies (e.g., ASAP, Agile, or hybrid).
• Exceptional facilitation, influencing, and stakeholder management skills to align diverse business units behind a single global design and control framework.
• Data analytics and visualization proficiency (Power BI, Tableau, or JDE reporting tools).
