SAP Manager - Procure to Pay (P2P)

Job ID: [[id]]
CRH's Americas Materials division is the leading integrated supplier of aggregates, asphalt, ready mixed concrete and paving and construction services in North America. Our operations span North America with over 29,000 employees at close to 1,660 locations in 45 US States and 2 Canadian provinces.
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced SAP Manager to own the Procure to Pay (P2P) process landscape, spanning Purchasing (purchase requisitions and purchase orders), Goods Receipt & Invoice Processing, and P2P Support. The ideal candidate is a strong business partner who can align technology initiatives with strategic procurement and finance objectives and drive digital transformation, backed by deep hands-on expertise in SAP Materials Management (MM), direct and indirect procurement, goods receipt and invoice processing, business partner/master data management, and P2P KPI reporting, along with proven hands-on experience integrating SAP with sourcing, banking, tax, and EDI/vendor systems.
This is a business-facing role: the successful candidate will spend significant time directly with Procurement, Finance, and Operations leaders, understanding how they work today and co-designing how they should work tomorrow. As process owner, this person will lead discovery and design workshops, map current- and future-state processes, and drive continuous improvement across the procure-to-pay value chain. The role also leads a team of SAP P2P functional resources, driving system enhancements and hands-on integration delivery, and ensuring an efficient, well-controlled, and continuously improving procurement and payables process across the organization.
Key Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Functions)
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily.
Business Process Design & Improvement
Act as the primary business-facing process owner for P2P — spending regular, recurring time with business leads in Procurement, Finance, and Operations.
Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand gaps and pain points, translate business needs into functional requirements, and design scalable, efficient P2P processes.
Define and track KPIs and process performance metrics jointly with business owners, and report progress back to them on a regular cadence.
Establish and run a standing business process governance forum (e.g., monthly P2P process review) to surface emerging issues, prioritize backlog items, and keep process design decisions transparent and business-led.
Driving Design Workshops & Business Engagement
Own end-to-end workshop planning and delivery: define objectives, identify the right stakeholders, build the agenda, and drive the session to concrete, documented decisions and next steps.
Plan and facilitate requirements-gathering and process design workshops with cross-functional stakeholders across Procurement, Finance, and Operations — driving discussions toward decisions rather than open-ended brainstorming.
Run fit-gap and solution design sessions with business and technical teams, presenting options, trade-offs, and recommendations, and driving alignment on process decisions and configuration approaches.
Use visual facilitation techniques (process maps, whiteboarding, journey maps) in live sessions to help business stakeholders see and agree on the proposed design in real time.
Manage constructive conflict in workshops — surfacing and resolving competing priorities between functions (e.g., Procurement, Finance, and Operations) to reach a workable, business-endorsed outcome.
Purchasing (PR&PO)
Own the end-to-end SAP purchasing process, including purchase requisitions (PR) and purchase orders (PO), for both direct and indirect procurement categories.
Provide strong hands-on functional expertise in SAP Materials Management (MM), including approval workflows, release strategies, and source determination.
Partner with Procurement leadership to streamline direct procurement (production materials, raw goods) and indirect procurement (services, MRO, corporate spend) processes.
Ensure accurate integration between purchasing, inventory, and financial postings so that requisition-to-order data remains consistent end-to-end.
Goods Receipt & Invoice Processing
Own the SAP goods receipt and invoice processing landscape, including GR/IR account management and Logistics Invoice Verification.
Drive automation and exception reduction to increase touchless invoice processing rates and reduce manual intervention.
Partner with Finance and Shared Services to ensure accurate, timely goods receipt postings and invoice matching (2-way/3-way match).
Support continuous improvement initiatives to reduce invoice cycle time, resolve GR/IR discrepancies, and improve on-time vendor payment performance.
P2P Support
Own business partner (BP) and vendor master data governance, ensuring accurate, complete, and compliant records across the P2P landscape.
Provide ongoing functional support for P2P processes, triaging and resolving issues raised by Procurement, Finance, and end users.
Own P2P KPI reporting, building and maintaining dashboards and reports that give leadership visibility into procurement and payables performance.
Partner with technical teams to maintain and enhance P2P reporting tools and master data workflows.
Systems Integration
Own hands-on design and support of integrations between SAP and sourcing/supplier platforms such as Coupa/SAP Ariba, ensuring accurate PO, confirmation, and invoice flow.
Lead integration between SAP and vendor/EDI networks, banking/payment plat
