- Sufficient domain fluency in SAP master data (material / product, customer, vendor) and in master-data workflow / BPM (e.g. Orsoft, SAP Business Workflow, SAP MDG) to prioritize credibly, shape requirements, and partner effectively with the technical Chapter — without needing to be the hands-on design authority.
- Demonstrated ability to translate business and data-governance needs into product outcomes and measurable value.
- Excellent stakeholder management across business and IT up to senior-management level; able to align priorities and to say “no” constructively.

- Experience supporting global template deployments, regional rollouts, and business transformation programs spanning multiple markets and operating companies.

Product Vision &

- Translate business and data-governance objectives into a clear product direction and measurable outcomes.

Backlog

Management





- Own, maintain, and prioritize a single, transparent product backlog for the Workflow, spanning enhancement, project, and transformation demand.

Requirement

Gathering &
- Refinement
- Work closely with business process owners, data owners, and data stewards to gather, clarify, and refine requirements into well-formed backlog items and user stories.
- Ensure data-quality and governance needs are expressed as product requirements, in partnership with Data Governance and DQ teams.

Release

Planning &
- Roadmapping
- Own the product roadmap and plan and prioritize releases with the squad and stakeholders.
- Manage the global roadmap and its communication — keeping stakeholders aligned on what is coming, when, and why. Plan &
- Review
- Plan the work with the squad, then review and accept completed increments, demonstrating delivered value to stakeholders.
- Keep the backlog and product artefacts current for the applicable delivery framework (Scrum, Kanban, hybrid / waterfall).

Dependency

Management

- Identify and manage dependencies — across Orsoft, SAP ECC / S/4HANA, the integration layer (e.g. Tibco), and other products — that affect the platform’s success, coordinating and escalating through product and program governance as needed.
- Act as the primary liaison between the squad and stakeholders across Finance, Marketing, R&I;, and Supply Chain, ensuring needs,



trade-offs, and decisions are understood on both sides.
- Represent the product in product-group, architecture, and program governance forums, and communicate value delivered to both technical and executive audiences.

Acceptance Criteria

Definition

- Define explicit acceptance criteria so the team knows when a requirement is complete and ready for release, safeguarding quality and fitness-for-purpose from the user’s perspective.

Continuous

Improvement

- Actively seek feedback from stakeholders, squad members, and end-users to identify improvement opportunities, and foster adherence to product and agile best practices.
- Use adoption, quality, and performance signals to drive simplification and continuous improvement of the workflow product.

Workflow

Governance.

- Product ownership of master-data, workflow, or platform products in a large, matrixed enterprise.
- Familiarity with Orsoft-based master data processes and with S/4HANA migration programs and their workflow implications — enough to prioritize and plan, not to configure.
- Understanding of data-governance operating models (data owners, stewards, councils) and how workflows operationalize them.
- Awareness of process mining, workflow analytics, and automation (RPA, low-code) as levers on the product roadmap.
- FMCG / CPG industry experience and its master-data characteristics (innovation cycles, regulatory attributes, customer hierarchies).
- Working knowledge of agile / hybrid delivery (Scrum, SAFe) and ITSM (ITIL) as it relates to product operations.
- Familiarity with enterprise integration patterns, APIs, event-driven architectures, and workflow orchestration across SAP and non-SAP ecosystems.
