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

• Lead workshops to deconstruct legacy procurement workflows and identify where **Coupa Agents** (native or custom) can drive the highest ROI. • Help clients determine the "where" and "how" of agent deployment, deciding which processes should be fully autonomous vs. human-in-the-loop. • Define the future-state metrics (KPIs) that the AI transformation must achieve, ensuring they align with board-level goals. • 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"?). • Identify internal policy or workforce hurdles early and partner with leadership to dismantle them. • Advise on workforce shifts, including the creation of **AI Centers of Excellence (COE)** and the retraining of staff to manage an "AI Workforce." • Guide customers on updating internal governance to allow for autonomous agent actions (e.g., automated contract redlining or tail-spend negotiation). • Act as the "Tone Setter" for the technical team. You define the *Vision*; the **Agentic Architect** defines the *Build*. • 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

• Deep understanding of the GenAI and Agentic AI landscape (LLMs, RAG, autonomous agents). You must understand what agents *can* and *cannot* do today. • Professional fluency in Source-to-Pay (S2P) processes. You need to understand the "Legacy" pain points to architect the "Agentic" solution. • 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. • 10+ years of experience leading large-scale, cross-functional digital transformation initiatives at the Enterprise level. • Previous experience with the Coupa platform is a plus, but we value **Agent-First Thinking** above platform familiarity. • Experience in Tier-1 management consulting or leading massive digital transformation projects.
