Coupa Software is a leading provider of business spend management solutions. Their platform focuses on optimizing and transforming direct and indirect spend across procurement, finance, supply chain, and IT. Coupa leverages AI and extensive data insights to drive cost efficiencies, manage supplier relationships, and mitigate risks. With products covering areas such as invoicing, payments, expense management, and supply chain collaboration, Coupa serves a wide range of industries including automotive, healthcare, retail, and more. Their comprehensive community and partner ecosystem enable organizations to unlock hidden savings and improve compliance, promoting growth and resilience in a changing economic climate.

📋 Description

• AI Opportunity Mapping: Lead workshops to deconstruct legacy procurement workflows and identify where **Coupa Agents** (native or custom) can drive the highest ROI. • Agentic Deployment Strategy: Help clients determine the "where" and "how" of agent deployment, deciding which processes should be fully autonomous vs. human-in-the-loop. • Target Operating Model Design: Define the future-state metrics (KPIs) that the AI transformation must achieve, ensuring they align with board-level goals. • Maturity Audit: Evaluate the customer’s **AI Readiness** across three lenses: **Culture** (willingness to trust agents), **Data** (is the intelligence layer fueled correctly?), and **Process** (is the workflow "agent-ready"?). • Blocker Mitigation: Identify internal policy or workforce hurdles early and partner with leadership to dismantle them. • Organizational Change (OCM): Advise on workforce shifts, including the creation of **AI Centers of Excellence (COE)** and the retraining of staff to manage an "AI Workforce." • Policy Transformation: Guide customers on updating internal governance to allow for autonomous agent actions (e.g., automated contract redlining or tail-spend negotiation). • Architect Collaboration: Act as the "Tone Setter" for the technical team. You define the *Vision*; the **Agentic Architect** defines the *Build*. • Roadmap Integration: Bridge the gap between the customer’s long-term transformation goals and the Coupa Product Roadmap to ensure the client is always ahead of the curve

🎯 Requirements

• Agentic AI Expertise: Deep understanding of the GenAI and Agentic AI landscape (LLMs, RAG, autonomous agents). You must understand what agents *can* and *cannot* do today. • Procurement/Finance Domain: Professional fluency in Source-to-Pay (S2P) processes. You need to understand the "Legacy" pain points to architect the "Agentic" solution. • Executive Presence: Possess the dual-fluency to secure C-Suite buy-in on AI vision while simultaneously collaborating with functional leads to map that vision to day-to-day S2P workflows. • Proven Digital Transformation Leadership: 10+ years of experience leading large-scale, cross-functional digital transformation initiatives at the Enterprise level. • Coupa Experience: Previous experience with the Coupa platform is a plus, but we value **Agent-First Thinking** above platform familiarity. • Consulting Pedigree: Experience in Tier-1 management consulting or leading massive digital transformation projects.

🏖️ Benefits

• Pioneering Technology: At Coupa, we're at the forefront of innovation, leveraging the latest technology to empower our customers with greater efficiency and visibility in their spend. • Collaborative Culture: We value collaboration and teamwork, and our culture is driven by transparency, openness, and a shared commitment to excellence. • Global Impact: Join a company where your work has a global, measurable impact on our clients, the business, and each other.
