-Strong understanding of SAP Ariba architecture, CIG (Cloud Integration Gateway), APIs, middleware connectivity, master data synchronization, and procurement workflow configuration is essential.
-Collaborate with product, business, and technology teams to assess procurement automation needs, evaluate solution alternatives, and build a scalable Ariba implementation roadmap aligned with business priorities.
-Design and document end-to-end Ariba solution blueprints, integration specifications, data migration strategies, and configuration workbooks with clear, measurable success criteria.
-Define Ariba configuration standards, governance frameworks, and reusable templates that accelerate delivery and reduce technical debt across the procurement portfolio.
-Drive Build vs. Buy vs. Configure decisions for procurement capabilities, evaluating native Ariba functionality, custom extensions, and third-party add-ons for optimal customer experience and total cost of ownership.
-Analyze system performance, identify bottlenecks, and lead initiatives that drive reliability, scalability, and process improvements across the Ariba platform.

-Foster an inclusive culture that encourages knowledge sharing and continuous learning.

Key job responsibilities
-Own the end-to-end SAP Ariba implementation vision and multi-year roadmap for Amazon Robotics' procurement ecosystem, defining what to implement, when to deliver, and how to measure success.
-Develop and maintain architecture narratives, PR/FAQs, and technical design documents that articulate the strategic direction for Ariba-enabled procurement transformation, securing alignment across multiple leadership organizations.
-Leverage SAP Ariba's native capabilities and Cloud Integration Gateway, evaluating when to use standard connectors, custom APIs, or third-party solutions for optimal reliability and scalability.
-Define Ariba implementation tenets and architectural principles that guide trade-off decisions across the ERP portfolio (spanning SAP S/4 HANA, Oracle EBS, and adjacent platforms).
-Influence technical priorities through data-driven contributions, ensuring engineering efforts align with the highest-value procurement automation outcomes.
-Design and implement SAP Ariba solutions encompassing procurement workflows, catalog management, supplier onboarding, sourcing events, contract lifecycle management, and invoice automation across cloud and on-premise environments.
-Define configuration standards, data mapping specifications, error handling frameworks, and monitoring strategies that ensure reliability, traceability, and operational excellence across the Ariba platform.
-Partner with engineering teams to translate Ariba solution designs into deliverable work packages with clear acceptance criteria, dependency maps, and testing strategies including integration testing, UAT, and cutover planning.
-Conduct architecture reviews and technical deep dives to ensure Ariba solutions meet security, compliance, SOX controls, and performance requirements.
-Build and maintain Ariba configurations and integrations with upstream and downstream systems — including purchase order synchronization, goods receipt matching, invoice reconciliation, and supplier master data replication — ensuring seamless end-to-end procure-to-pay orchestration.
