Maintain and prioritize a backlog of automation opportunities across ICS in collaboration with GST leadership; track status, benefits realized and efficiency gains of automation initiatives. Document current-state manual processes, target-state automated workflows, and business requirements to support automation development and testing. Bundle expertise on SAP reports (e.g. T-Codes) relevant to ICS and automation initiatives and support the Operational Excellence team with business control-relevant alignments with Global Process Owners, where needed. Partner with IT, OpEx and other Global ICS pillars to validate automation solutions prior to deployment and support user acceptance testing. Support regular ICS Operations activities (e.g. GRC/Workiva tool maintenance, lifecycle activities, reporting) where needed.
