This first, necessary step will ensure Ralph Lauren understands the key phases, impact, business resources and timeline required to begin the program. This is an opportunity to join one of the largest investments that the company will be making over the next decade, and we seek talent that is excited to help shape the future, being part of the journey and eventually taking this knowledge back into the business.
The Wholesale Order to Cash Global Business Process Lead will bring specific business process / solutions competence and experience within RL of the Wholesale OTC function including the following process: OTC Wholesale. This role will take responsibility for activities defined below.
The role will focus on creating a detailed understanding of the current AS-IS business processes / solutions before working closely with the Program Initiation Team and the ERP vendor to help map out the future high level TO-BE processes. This is ahead of the detailed design phase that will be initiated in 2025.
After mapping the AS-IS and TO-BE processes / solutions, the role will make contributions to the plan for the design, build, testing and deployment phases of the project ensuring all functional and reporting activities are identified and accurately represented in the TO-BE state.
The NGT ERP project will implement the transformation across RL by region. In a key activity, this role will identify the impact on the respective business function and associated process areas to define specific interim operations requirements including reporting, special processing or other requirements to support multiple cut overs while the ERP is implemented into RL.
The role may involve some travel and will require working with colleagues of the same function in other regions. This is a truly global program, so collaborating in the Ralph Lauren way is required.
Program Initiation Team objectives
a. Create a detailed and documented understanding of the current RL AS-IS business processes across all 3 regions.
b. Create a detailed and documented understanding of the TO-BE business processes together with the ERP /Edge vendors’ experts identifying any gaps, compared to the AS-IS business process, for resolution during the design phase.
c. Identify any specific interim operations requirements considering the implementation plan will require multiple transition steps over regions and time before the new ERP is fully deployed.
d. Create detailed RL Project team structure ensuring the headcount and budget requirements required to support the project are included in the project budget. This includes a plan to on-board / off-board RL Project Team members at the right moments during the project’s lifecycle.
e. Create inventory of skills and training pathways for upskilling soft and hard skills required for RL Project Team members and RL business users. This includes a plan for training and budgetary requirements as well as proposing a plan for on-going training to support the RL business after the project.
The role will work very closely with the application teams and the business leads to ensure that they are prepared for the collection of the information required. This specific role will be responsible for leading the collection of the required information from the Wholesale OTC business process working closely with its business and IT counterparts.
Initially, the role will focus on defining the framework to collect the information and then rolling this out to the business process functions. Support will be provided to plan and collect the information, managing the information collected and enabling the Business Process Lead to focus on the activities, rather than the repository of information and the details to create the plan.
The role will also ensure that there are formal processes in place to sign off the information collected, with various gates being defined through the process to ensure that teams are bought into the approach. The lead will also be seen as an evangelist for the program, helping to educate, raise awareness and grow confidence in those around them. This is an exciting opportunity to grow your skills, expand your knowledge of the business and be part of a team that is helping to shape and then deliver the future.
Post the verification phase, this person will move into a role leading the Wholesale OTC business process during the design, build and deploy phase. Once the system moves to implementation phase, this role will roll off the project based on a specifically identified development plan enabled by the RL business executive responsible.
