Life. Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew
At Smith+Nephew we design and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living.
We are seeking a senior technology leader who can shape the future of Order to Cash across a complex and regulated global business.
As IT Director, SAP S/4HANA Order to Cash Transformation, you will play a central role in a global ERP transformation, influencing how commercial, distribution and financial processes operate globally. This is not a traditional SAP architecture role. It is an opportunity to redefine how a global organisation commercialises, scales and competes.
What will you be doing?
- Take ownership of the global Order to Cash domain, acting as the solution authority for one of the most commercially critical areas of the business.
- From defining the future state architecture through to guiding global deployment, you will ensure SAP S/4HANA enables a streamlined, compliant and scalable commercial ecosystem. This includes everything from pricing and contract management through to fulfilment, billing, revenue recognition and innovative models such as consignment, loan kits and field inventory.
- Working closely with senior leaders across commercial, logistics and finance functions, you will shape the global template and influence strategic decisions that reduce complexity and unlock value.
- You will challenge legacy approaches, define design principles and ensure every solution is grounded in business outcomes.
- Lead and develop a team of architects, fostering a culture of accountability, ownership and continuous improvement.
- In this role, success is defined not by system delivery alone, but by the transformation you enable across the organisation.
