The HERMES business-led transformation programme will be delivered through a phased approach:

Phase 1: definition of a solution-agnostic Group Target Operating Model, capability set and use cases, leading to ERP tool selection.

Phase 2: translation of the approved TOM into contractual business requirements, leading to the selection of a system integrator and the establishment of a fixed-price contractual baseline.

The Senior Business Analyst(s) will support the HERMES programme across these phases by bringing senior business analysis expertise, strong knowledge of standard ERP capabilities and market practices, and the ability to challenge existing processes and legacy-driven assumptions. The role reports operationally to the Programme Manager and works in close collaboration with Stream Leaders, who retain accountability for stream-level decisions and validation. 

This assignment will specifically focus on Budgeting, Cost Management and Financial Planning processes during Phase 1 of the programme (Target Operating Model definition and ERP tool selection). Upon successful delivery of Phase 1 and after EIBG approval to move on to the next phase of the ERP programme, a new assignment for Phase 2 (contractualisation and system integrator procurement) will be published.
