Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Vericence is a digital engineering and technology consulting firm helping enterprises build AI-driven platforms and modernize legacy systems. They are seeking a Coupa P2P Consultant to own procurement process design, act as a client counterpart, and lead project governance while ensuring successful Coupa implementations.
Responsibilities
- Own the procurement process design decisions that are open or undocumented - approval workflows, matching tolerances, catalog strategy, supplier segmentation, and exception handling rules
- Act as the client's counterpart to the SI: review deliverables, challenge design shortcuts, and ensure build aligns with documented requirements
- Assess current project health - phase, testing status, integration readiness, open change requests, scope creep - and produce a clear risk register within the first two weeks
- Lead or co-lead SIT/UAT planning and execution, including test scenario design, defect triage, and go/no-go readiness assessment
- Drive supplier enablement strategy: portal onboarding sequencing, communication plans, and adoption tracking
- Own change management and end-user training strategy - ensure Coupa is usable by requesters, approvers, and AP staff, not just procurement power users
- Advise on Coupa-to-ERP integration touchpoints (PO sync, invoice data exchange, payment posting, user provisioning via SCIM/SAML) and flag gaps early
- Establish and run project governance cadence - weekly steering, decision logs, RAID tracking - filling the vacuum left by the departed champion
Skills
- 3+ full-lifecycle Coupa P2P implementations in a lead functional or solution architect role
- Deep hands-on knowledge of Coupa core modules: Procurement (requisitions, POs, guided buying), Invoicing (InvoiceSmash, three-way matching, exception workflows), Supplier Management (CSP onboarding, supplier information management), and CoupaPay or payment workflows
- Proven experience with Coupa-to-ERP integration patterns (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or Workday) including middleware platforms (MuleSoft, Boomi, or Workato)
- Strong understanding of procurement business processes end-to-end - not just the tool, but the why behind approval hierarchies, spend policies, and supplier governance
- Track record of stepping into troubled or mid-flight implementations and stabilizing them
- Ability to operate at both strategic (steering committee, executive sponsor) and tactical (config review, test case validation) levels
- Coupa Certifications
- Experience with Coupa Sourcing, CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management), or Analytics modules
- Background in healthcare, financial services, or professional services procurement
- Familiarity with change management frameworks (PROSCI / ADKAR) applied to procurement transformations
- Prior experience in an independent advisory / SI oversight capacity (not just as part of the implementing SI)
