Job Description:

SAP GRC Senior Lead

Step into a high-impact leadership role as SAP GRC Senior Lead within Mars Global Services, our shared services division, and help shape the future of Mars Inc. through our Digital Core transformation. The Digital Core is Mars’ strategic initiative to modernize and unify our SAP landscape, leveraging S/4HANA on RISE to drive operational excellence, security, and compliance across our global business.

In this role, you will be responsible for the technical design, configuration, deployment, and ongoing operation of the SAP Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) system—an essential component of our Digital Core. The GRC Access Control (AC) system enables compliant user access processes, including access request provisioning, segregation of duties, and emergency access management (Firefighter), ensuring that only the right people have the right access at the right time.

Reporting to the SAP Security Senior Manager, you will collaborate closely with the Digital Core Security Team and Controls Team to ensure the GRC AC system is robust, scalable, and ready to support ongoing go-lives and deployments of user populations onto the Digital Core S/4HANA platform. You will also provide oversight and guidance for the steady-state operations of the GRC AC solution, helping Mars maintain the highest standards of security and compliance as we continue our transformation journey.

What are we looking for?

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience configuring SAP GRC Access Control, including MSMP workflow, BRF+ configuration, connector setup, rule set creation, and master data management
  • Proven experience implementing SAP security and GRC in S/4HANA transformation programs, with a strong understanding of GRC’s role in project lifecycles
  • Deep knowledge of SAP security role-based access controls, IT General Computer Controls, segregation of duties, sensitive access risks, and mitigating controls
  • Expertise in SAP identity management concepts such as user provisioning, access reviews, terminations, and single sign-on
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with SAP Basis, Identity, and Architecture teams to design integrated security solutions involving GRC
  • Experience with SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance (IAG) implementation is a plus
  • Strong communication skills to present complex GRC and security topics to both technical and business audiences

What will be your key responsibilities?

  • Own the end-to-end SAP GRC solution for the new S/4HANA on RISE Digital Core landscape
  • Design and enhance SAP GRC solution architecture to meet evolving business needs
  • Integrate SAP GRC with other systems and data sources to ensure seamless compliance management
  • Configure GRC Access Control workflows, rule sets, and security roles with precision
  • Manage GRC master data setup and conduct thorough testing aligned with S/4HANA transformation phases
  • Develop test plans, coordinate testing activities, and troubleshoot complex GRC issues
  • Create and maintain comprehensive GRC configuration and training documentation
  • Lead knowledge transfer sessions to Mars SAP Security AMS support teams to ensure smooth steady-state operations
  • Support SAP Security Project Team in planning and incorporating GRC tasks into S/4 implementation timelines and status reporting

What can you expect from Mars?

  • Work with diverse and talented Associates, all guided by the Five Principles
  • Join a purpose-driven company, where we’re striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today
  • Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University
  • An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus
