·        Lead business process fit\-gap analyses to assess alignment between client business processes and ERP solution capabilities, identifying opportunities to improve performance through process optimization rather than customization.

·        Partner with project teams and business stakeholders to document current\-state workflows across complex application landscapes, including core ERP modules, third\-party tools, and culturally embedded “shadow IT” systems.

·        Develop actionable recommendations to address functional gaps through business process changes, governance, or tooling alternatives, clearly articulating risks, impacts, and trade\-offs.

·        Advise clients on handling unique or non\-standard business processes when solution functionality could not fully address requirements, including mitigation strategies and change management considerations.

·        Support future\-state process design aligned to ERP modernization vision, business drivers, and guiding principles, ensuring consistency with industry standards and usability best practices.

·        Contribute to agile, iterative deployment approaches by identifying opportunities for early wins and incremental adoption across HCM functions.

·        Document risks, issues, and potential long\-term costs associated with maintaining legacy processes or failing to address identified gaps, enabling informed executive decision\-making.

·        Demonstrated experience performing business process analysis and fit\-gap assessments for HCM functions, including Payroll, Benefits, Talent Acquisition, Career Management, and employee self\-service.

·        Proven ability to advise clients on process optimization, governance, and operational change as alternatives to system customization or configuration.

·        Experience working within complex application environments that include multiple ERP modules, third\-party systems, and legacy or “shadow IT” solutions.

·        Strong facilitation and documentation skills, with experience leading workshops, capturing current\- and future\-state workflows, and developing executive\-ready recommendations.

·        Ability to assess and communicate risks, impacts, and long\-term costs associated with maintaining legacy processes or deferring recommended changes.

·        Experience supporting ERP modernization efforts aligned to defined business drivers, guiding principles, and industry best practices.
