Contract: Fixed term / Secondment (9-12 months), full time – 35 hours per week.

We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic individual to join our Finance & ERP Solutions team as maternity cover for our SAP Trainer. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to work in the SAP domain without the need for technical configuration or development expertise. If you have SAP end-user experience, perhaps as a super-user for your department, coupled with a desire to share knowledge and help colleagues, and are looking for a challenge, this could be the role for you.

We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.

About the role

You will act as a bridge between our technical team and our users. By interpreting the functionality provided into training materials and delivering training courses, you will help users learn how to best use the Core SAP system and ensure that they can carry out their processes effectively and efficiently.

The main, and immediate, requirement will be to work on the procurement aspects of the Global Finance & Fulfilment (GFF) India project, which is rolling out Core SAP to our India branch office. Working with process owners and subject matter experts, you will be responsible for:

Creating and updating training materials
Readying the Core SAP system for training
Planning, coordinating and delivering training courses
Providing training support post- go-live

There will also be some business-as-usual (BAU) aspects to the role; for example, supporting new users with existing functionality and helping to introduce new features and enhancements that are delivered by the Core SAP team.

About you

You will be proactive and enthusiastic, with strong interpersonal skills and an instinct to collaborate, and a desire to share knowledge and help colleagues. You will possess excellent organisation and communication skills, supplemented by a keen attention to detail. A solid practical understanding of SAP (in particular, procurement), and an aptitude for technology and technical processes would also be essential. A background as a super-user, trainer, or business process specialist in our organisation or industry would be advantageous.

If you would like to know more about this opportunity and what will make you successful, please see the full job description attached to the bottom of this vacancy on our careers site.

Rewards and benefits

We will support you to be at your best in work and to live well outside of it. In addition to competitive salaries, we offer a world-class, flexible rewards package, featuring family-friendly and planet-friendly benefits including:

28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Private medical and Permanent Health Insurance
Discretionary annual bonus
Group personal pension scheme
Life assurance up to 4 x annual salary
Green travel schemes

We are a hybrid working organisation, and we offer a range of flexible working options from day one. We expect most hybrid-working colleagues to spend 40-60% of their time at their dedicated office or location. We will also consider other work arrangements if you wish to work more flexibly or require adjustments due to a disability.
