IN_Sr Associate_Finance Shared Services Value Stream Lead _GCC_Advisory_Gurgaon

Lead BAU uplift and future  state process design for the Procure to Pay (P2P) value stream across Finance Shared Services (FSS), improving current state purchasing, AP and payment operations while ensuring BOM (Back Office Modernization) delivers a standardised, compliant, automation enabled P2P design aligned to “adopt not adapt.” The role supports transition of regional/country P2P activities into the expanded shared services model and adoption of the new ERP/platform.

Responsibilities

1. BAU uplift (operational excellence)

· Baseline current P2P performance end-to-end (requisition to PO, invoice processing, approvals,

payments, supplier queries), identifying bottlenecks, control gaps, and manual workarounds.

· Drive process improvements focused on cycle time, compliance to policy/DOA, reduction in

exceptions, and improved supplier experience—measured through operational metrics (e.g.,

invoice cycle time, first time match rate, on time payment rate, exception volumes, query

volumes).

· Strengthen procurement/finance interfaces for policy alignment, spend visibility, and controls

(segregation of duties, audit trails).

2. Future state design & BOM interface

· Represent P2P into BOM discovery/design: define fit to standard global P2P processes, controls

and enabling capabilities (e.g., supplier onboarding, portal/self-service, workflow approvals),

aligned to “configuration not customisation.”

· Provide process/volume insights and local requirements to support design decisions and

implementation planning.

· Co-define the P2P service catalogue, SLAs/OLAs and operating model scope for centralisation

into FSS, supporting transition planning for in country activities.

3. Transition & adoption
