Job Purpose
As we work to transform and optimise Mars, a new program has been mobilised by the Mars leadership team. The program is focused on the design and implementation of SAP S/4HANA in Mars across Segments (Petcare, Corporate, Snacking & Food). Much more than a simple "Lift and Shift," this program will undertake a major process simplification and harmonisation scope as we digitally transform our business.
The program focuses primarily on eight mega process areas: Finance, Source to Pay (procurement and vendor mgmt.), Plan to Fulfil (manufacturing and distribution), Lead to Cash (sales order processing and payment), Governance, Engage to Consume (marketing), Idea to Market (R&D), and Recruit to Retire (HR). This transformation requires thought leadership, quality decision making, deep technical know-how, and an ability to navigate complex business challenges while applying a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to each of these mega processes.
As part of the program, four new positions have been created to manage all core Security and Compliance activities related to the SAP S/4HANA landscape.
Collectively the new roles will be responsible for the delivery of the core SAP Security deliverables within S/4HANA and FIORI ensuring alignment with role design, processes and governance principles.
Key Responsibilities

• Demonstrate and exemplify the Five Principles of Mars, Inc. personally and within the team.

• Work with the SAP Security team and Global Process Owners (GPO's) in implementing a comprehensive SAP Security and GRC framework, including strategies, policies, and procedures that align with organisational objectives and industry best practices to ensure robust access controls, risk management and regulatory compliance.
• Design and deliver technical and functional solutions against specifications in accordance with agreed standards and procedures.
• Follow standards and procedure for user provisioning, de-provisioning, and segregation of duties.
• Lead and support multiple testing phases - including build unit tests (BUT) security unit tests (SUT) system integration tests (SIT) and user acceptance tests (UAT) by leveraging Mars current test tools to ensure robust SAP security and system integrity.
• Collaborate effectively within a diverse team that fosters an inclusive culture, ensuring all contributions are valued and recognised.
• Stay informed on emerging security threats and apply industry best practices to strengthen SAP application security and controls.
