Summary

You will be part of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Project Team, playing a key role in the implementation of a large-scale ERP transformation. As the Procurement Business Analyst, you will lead the design and delivery of end-to-end procurement processes, ensuring alignment with organisational objectives, government policies, and best-in-class procurement practices.

This includes driving process harmonisation, strengthening governance, and embedding digital capabilities across the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) lifecycle.

• Facilitate design thinking workshops and user journey mapping sessions to co-create streamlined, user-centric “to-be” procurement processes.
• Advise on and implement government procurement policies, controls, and best practices, ensuring auditability and compliance.
• Work closely with System Integrators and software vendors to configure and optimise procurement modules, ensuring functional fit and scalability.
• Drive process standardisation and automation, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and enhance spend visibility.

• Oversee integration with external systems (e.g., GeBIZ, finance systems, vendor platforms) to ensure seamless data flow across the procurement ecosystem.
• Lead and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) where relevant, ensuring procurement scenarios are comprehensively validated.

• Ability to translate business requirements into functional specifications and work effectively with technical teams.
• Proven ability to engage stakeholders, facilitate workshops, and drive consensus across diverse groups.
