  • Support user provisioning, deprovisioning, and role updates.
  • Ensure segregation‑of‑duties requirements are followed where applicable.
  • Work with cross‑functional approval groups when access spans multiple systems.
  • Provide procedural guidance to internal users and suppliers (e.g., how to confirm an order, invoice, submit credit memos).
  • Support troubleshooting for PO, Goods Receipt (GR), Invoice Receipt (IR), and invoice exception scenarios.
  • Investigate GRIR or Auto‑GR questions and identify system vs. process root causes.
  • Coordinate with AP, Procurement Ops, Master Data, and technical teams as needed for resolution.

Essential skills and knowledge 

  • University graduate in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Finance, Accounting or a related field with 1 - 3 years related experience OR 5 - 7 years combination of post-secondary education and related experience with some professional development
  • Hands‑on SAP Ariba support, ideally including sourcing or supplier enablement.
  • Procurement operations, procurement technology, or application support experience.
  • Experience supporting S2P processes with understanding of upstream (sourcing) and downstream (PO, GR, IR) impacts.
  • Experience working within a Tier 1/Tier 2 support model, including intake, triage, and escalation.
  • Preferred: experience troubleshooting GRIR discrepancies or Auto‑GR issues in collaboration with AP/Finance.
  • Strong working knowledge of SAP Ariba Sourcing (events, templates, enablement, troubleshooting).
  • Support desk fundamentals: prioritization, categorization, documentation, communication.
  • Working knowledge of SAP/S4 or ERP procurement concepts (PO lifecycle, GR, IR, invoice exceptions).
