Basic Function

As a key enabler to delivering against the organization’s strategic priorities, a fit-for-purpose Operating Model (OM) is an imperative for LYB to improve effectiveness of service delivery, drive efficiency with scalable fixed costs, and enable the organization with modern technologies, all of which are essential to support LYB's evolving asset footprint, emerging business models, and focus on stepping up performance and culture.

LYB aims to transform the enterprise operating model through leveraging industry-standard E2E processes, establishing a corporate services platform with aligned organizational design and unified data infrastructure, and simplifying our ERP core with out-of-the-box technology solutions; this approach also constructs the process, technology, and organizational foundation for future capabilities.

To achieve this, the Track Project Lead works closely with Platform Process Owners (PPOs) to align execution efforts with strategic priorities and maintain consistency across end-to-end workflows. This role focuses on aligning workflows with SAP S / 4HANA capabilities to enhance procurement efficiency, simplify workflows, and optimize cost savings.

Key activities the S2P Track Project Lead will directly lead and / or support include designing and validating procurement workflows, managing system testing for operational readiness, and tracking key performance metrics such as procurement cycle time, supplier compliance, and cost savings realization.
