Estate Management Process Lead

1. Detailed Design & Solution Build

• Requirement Definition & RICEFW Validation: Drives the detailed requirements gathering workshops for Upstream operations. Validates the functional specifications and configuration designs produced by the SAP Functional Team (PM, PS, CO) to ensure they meet business needs. This includes validatingRICEFW (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements, Forms, Workflows) objects.
• Lifecycle Design: Ensures the SAP design accurately reflects the unique stages and operational requirements of the plantation lifecycle.

2. Testing & Quality Assurance

• Test Leadership (SIT & UAT): Leads theSystem Integration Testing (SIT) andUser Acceptance Testing (UAT) for the Estate Management stream. Defines comprehensive test scenarios that mirror actual plantation conditions.
• Defect Resolution: Triages functional defects identified during testing, distinguishing between configuration errors, data issues, or mobile integration failures, and coordinates with the technical teams to resolve them.

4. Deployment, Training & Data Migration

• Data Readiness: Supports the Data Migration team by defining data mapping and validation rules for critical upstream objects and verifying data quality after mock loads.
• Training & Change Support: Reviews and validates training materials to ensure they are operationally relevant for estate staff. Conducts "Train the Trainer" sessions.
• Post-Go-Live Support: Provides functional leadership during the Hypercare phase, resolving critical operational issues and ensuring stability in daily estate reporting and cost capturing.

4. Digital Ecosystem & Integration Architecture

• Connected Applications (Integration Requirements): Collaborates with the Connected Application leads to ensure that the functional requirements for SAP S/4HANA are clearly communicated and incorporated into connected app design. Ensures that the interface specifications accommodate the data needed for SAP PS, PM, and CO processing, and to support operational and management reporting.

5. Sustainability & EUDR Compliance

• Sustainability Process Design: Ensures thatEUDR (European Union Deforestation Regulation) compliance andRSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification requirements are fully incorporated into the S/4HANA upstream process design.
• Data Integration for Compliance: Verifies that the necessary sustainability data points and traceability attributes are factored into the functional designs and interface definitions across the upstream landscape.
