• Business Readiness: Contribute to standard operating procedures, work instructions, training, change management and communications to support successful adoption.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Coordinate with central Axial, global, regional, local, business and technical teams to resolve process issues and ensure deployment readiness.
• Compliance and Controls: Ensure process designs meet applicable requirements, including GxP, SOX, GAAP, tax, financial control and auditability obligations.
• Data and Reporting: Partner with data teams to define master-data, transactional-data, reporting and performance-measurement requirements.

Essential experience and knowledge

• Order-to-Cash expertise: Demonstrable experience in end-to-end Order-to-Cash process design, improvement or transformation.
• SAP experience: Practical knowledge of SAP S/4HANA and fit-to-standard implementation principles.
• Process knowledge: Experience across order management, billing, tax, revenue recognition, credits, debits, claims, returns and customer-service processes.
• Transformation experience: Experience supporting SAP implementation, migration, rollout, deployment or business transformation programmes.
• Deployment lifecycle: Experience with testing, data migration, cutover, go-live and post-go-live stabilisation.
• Compliance awareness: Understanding of regulatory, financial, tax, audit and control requirements relevant to order and billing processes.
• Global collaboration: Experience working with stakeholders across different regions, operating models and legal entities.

Skills and capabilities

• Process leadership: Ability to apply an end-to-end process perspective and understand interdependencies across functions.
• Stakeholder influence: Confidence engaging with global, regional and local stakeholders, constructively challenging existing practices and building alignment around standard solutions.
• Problem solving: Ability to identify root causes, evaluate options and develop practical, scalable solutions.
