Job Description:

Pet Nutrition (PN) is the most vibrant category in the FMCG sector. As we work to transform this exciting category, a new program named Shepherd, has been mobilized by the Mars Pet Nutrition leadership team. Shepherd is focused on the implementation of SAP S/4Hana for Pet Nutrition. Much more than a simple “Lift and Shift,” this program will undertake a major process simplification and harmonization scope as we digitally transform our business.

Shepherd is focused primarily on eight mega process areas: Finance, Source to Pay (procurement and vendor mgmt.), Plan to Fulfill (manufacturing and distribution), Lead to Cash (order processing and payment), Governance, Engage to Consume (marketing), Idea to Market (R&D), and Recruit to Retire (HR). This transformation requires thought leadership, quality decision making, deep technical know-how, and an ability to navigate complex business challenges while applying a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to each of these mega processes. As part of Shepherd, a new role has been created to manage the Data & Analytics area for Plan to Fulfil.

This role is supporting the Shepherd transformation and as a result, has an anticipated program end date of 5 years. Throughout your time in this role, we will have focused discussion around your development in support of your Best Next Move following the completion of this project. Should you be unsuccessful in securing an alternative role, your role may be at risk of redundancy. Should this occur, you may be eligible to receive separation benefits consistent with Company policies and practices.
