As we work to transform and optimize Mars, a new program has been mobilized 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 harmonization scope as we digitally transform our business.
The program will focus primarily on eight mega process areas: Finance, Source to Pay (procurement and vendor mgmt.), Plan to Fulfill (manufacturing and distribution), Lead to Cash (order processing and payment), Governance, Engage to Consume (marketing), Idea to Market (R&D), and Recruit to Retire (HR). This program requires a Technology and Transformation Team for delivering the technical foundations and operational readiness of the S/4HANA Transformation.
As part of this transformation, a new role has been created for a Senior Automation Test Lead. This role will be responsible for defining the automation vision, frameworks, and best practices to ensure high-quality, efficiencies, and scalable testing across complex enterprise landscapes.
