Description
"Your primary responsibility is to drive the definition of harmonised global business processes across multiple countries and business environments. You will challenge existing local practices, commercial arrangements and historical exceptions, distinguish genuine local requirements from legacy complexity, and translate these into clear, scalable to-be processes that can be supported by the global Nexus application landscape. This requires a senior and independent Business Analyst who is comfortable engaging with experienced local stakeholders, asking difficult questions and driving decision-making rather than simply documenting the current situation."

Experience

Handling objections and filtering is needed every day. A good analytical basis, excellent communication skills and a result-driven practical approach.

Character
Comfortable asking 5-whys to get to a deep understanding of contracts, agreements and flows. Capable of understanding “variations” and distinguishing between a global standard (fit), justified variation, harmonization opportunity (chance to move to global standard) and harmonization dimension (customer type, contract type or order channel).

Review of different applications in use globally and integration points between application and also between human vs applications
The role of current tooling (for farm production output) and the potential for change of functionality due to D365 + potential global customer portal availability
A target operating model and solution design for the global semen business, including harmonisation opportunities, justified local variations, system roles, integration requirements and feasible solution alternatives.
