Foundations Scope & Simplification Manager

YOUR MISSION:

New Foundations is Richemont’s multi-year transformation programme to simplify and align business processes and technology in preparation for the Group’s migration to SAP S/4

HANA. It is designed to create the organisational, governance and delivery foundations needed to enable a successful, scalable and business-led ERP transformation.

As Scope and Simplification Manager for New Foundations, you will drive business process transformation and configuration simplification across the programme, ensuring scope decisions are grounded in business impact, value and transformation readiness. Working in close partnership with the organisation and reporting to Programme Director, you will leverage your SAP S/4

HANA expertise to bridge the gap between Richemont’s current operations and its future-state processes, functionalities and configuration — acting as the guardian of simplicity, harmonisation and clean-core discipline.
