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/4HANA. 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/4HANA 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.
HOW WILL YOU MAKE AN IMPACT?
In this role, you will:
Own the assessment of current business processes and configuration against SAP S/4HANA standards, identifying transformation opportunities, business impacts and change efforts.
Orchestrate the work of Business Process Managers (BPMs) and functional teams to map, challenge and optimise end-to-end processes, ensuring process ownership stays with the business.
Lead simplification initiatives across processes and custom code, looking to standardise, harmonise or carry forward based on business value and operational impact.
Frame keep / adapt / retire decisions through a business-value lens to right-size the ERP.
Assess the business impact of scope decisions, ensuring the organisation understands the changes, operational consequences and transformation readiness.
Work to upskill the organization on SAP S/4HANA processes and standard functionalities, building functional fluency across business teams.
Work closely with the ECC Functional Expert to anchor recommendations in the reality of the current landscape, surfacing constraints, risks and dependencies.
HOW WILL YOU EXPERIENCE SUCCESS WITH US?
Experience with SAP S/4HANA programmes and transformations.
Proven track record in process simplification or standardisation in complex environments.
Strong exposure to end-to-end business processes (for example Finance, Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash).
Comfortable engaging with senior business and Senior Technology leaders.
Experience operating in Group, multi-entity or multi-brand environments.
Skilled at translating business requirements into standard, scalable SAP S/4HANA outcomes.
Deep understanding of SAP S/4HANA standard processes, clean-core principles and, where possible, the ECC landscape.
Solid process modelling and documentation capability and experience.
Analytical rigour to frame keep / adapt / retire decisions with clear trade-offs.
Ability to distil complexity into actionable scope and simplification options.
Effective stakeholder communication across senior business and technology audiences.
WHAT MAKES OUR GROUP DIFFERENT ?
Our true power does not lie in our similarities but in the rich diversity of our arts, cultures, and human skills, as well as our specific ability to foster untapped potential.
We value freedom, collegiality, loyalty, and solidarity.
We foster empathy, curiosity, courage, humility, and integrity.
We care for the world we live in.
YOUR JOURNEY WITH US
Our recruitment journey for this role is designed to be respectful, transparent and grounded in genuine dialogue. You can typically expect:
An initial conversation with our Talent Acquisition team to discuss your background, motivations and the role.
A meeting with Hiring Manager and HR for this role.
Subsequent interviews with key Group Platforms stakeholders and members of the New Foundations programme team to explore your experience in depth.
A final conversation focused on mutual fit, expectations and next steps.
We are committed to providing timely, transparent feedback at each stage of the process.
