Job DescriptionWho we are looking forThe Procure to Pay (P2P) process is a highly complex, cross‑functional value stream spanning Procurement, Finance, Accounts Payable, Supply Chain, and Technology. It plays a critical role in cost control, compliance, supplier experience, working capital, and audit outcomes.
As global transaction volumes grow and ERP landscapes evolve, traditional, documentation‑driven process design is no longer sufficient. Bose is establishing a dedicated Business Process Owner – Procure to Pay to provide end‑to‑end accountability for the performance, design, and continuous transformation of the global P2P process. A defining aspect of this role is the applied use of AI‑enabled process mining to gain objective insight into process execution and to drive fact‑based, cross‑functional process re‑engineering.
This role is a key enabler of enterprise process transformation and ERP modernization initiatives, including the transition from SAP ECC to S/4HANA, ensuring that process design and value realization are driven by business outcomes rather than system constraints.
What You’ll DoThe Business Process Owner – Procure to Pay owns the global P2P process end to end, from demand identification through supplier payment. The role sets the process vision, operating model, performance metrics, and transformation roadmap, and serves as the single business authority for how P2P operates and evolves across the enterprise.
By leveraging process mining and process intelligence, the BPO drives continuous improvement, standardization, and scalability—ensuring that decisions related to process design, digital enablement, and ERP transformation are grounded in data, not functional silos or legacy behaviors.
