- Serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and technical or functional migration teams, facilitating discussions, resolving requirement-related issues, and maintaining clear communication throughout the project.
- Contribute to organizational change and end-user readiness activities to help ensure a smooth transition to the new system and associated business processes.
Requirements:
- Bring at least 7 years of business analysis experience within SAP programs, with strong functional expertise in SAP Materials Management (SAP MM), inventory management, and contracting processes.
