Role Purpose
The P2P Deployment Manager will drive hands-on deployment and change activities for the company's procurement transformation. The role ensures that bp's procurement policies, standards, and ways of working are embedded within the Coupa Req-to-Pay (R2P) solution, while also aligning with upstream Source-to-Contract (S2C) processes delivered through Ariba. This role focuses on process alignment, gap assessment, persona-based change impacts, roles and responsibilities definition, training support, stakeholder engagement, and execution of deployment tasks in line with the overall program plan.
This role is a doer — focused on practical delivery, robust analysis, and driving behavioral and process change across the company's organization as it transitions toward bp's procurement ways of working.
Key Accountabilities
- Process Alignment & Gap Assessment
- Conduct detailed "as-is" and "to-be" process mapping for P2P within Coupa, with clear integration to upstream S2C activity in Ariba.
- Identify gaps between the company's practices and bp procurement processes, policies, and standards.
- Map end-to-end process flows from category strategy ? sourcing ? contracting ? requisitioning ? purchase order ? invoice ? pay.
- Define future-state roles and responsibilities, including critical handoffs between S2C and P2P.
- Change Impact Assessment & Stakeholder Engagement
- Produce persona-based change impact assessments that clearly define what will change for each user group.
- Identify and document behavioral, process, and system impacts.
- Gather stakeholder pain points and operational issues, translating them into structured improvement plans.
- Draft clear, concise communications to support awareness, readiness, and adoption.
- Deployment Support & Training Enablement
- Support deployment planning and execution in alignment with program milestones, scope, and schedule.
- Collaborate with global teams (KL, Budapest, Pune, London) to ensure consistent deployment practices.
- Contribute to training content, logistics, and delivery to prepare end users for new processes and tools.
- Support hyper care and stabilization activities post-go-live.
- Value Case, Metrics & Performance
- Ensure the procurement value case is well-defined, measurable, and supported with the appropriate KPIs.
- Track and report on performance metrics tied to process adoption, compliance, and efficiency improvements.
- Ensure process changes enable bp-wide value realization goals.
- Governance, Risk & Issue Management
- Identify, track, and manage risks, issues, and dependencies across process, system, and change activities.
- Provide clear, structured input to governance forums and status reporting.
