Job Description
The P2P (Procure To Pay) process is central to Safran's ambition: to digitize and streamline the needs-purchasing-delivery-invoicing-payment chain to secure our supplier relationships. In the context of the legal reform mandating electronic invoicing in France from September 2026, Safran is accelerating the transformation of its practices and aims to guarantee a smooth and efficient deployment with its suppliers. To support this transition, we are recruiting a specialist in supplier relations and the integration of electronic invoicing. Functionally, you will report to the Group P2P team.
Responsibilities and objectives:
Operational support for suppliers:
be the key contact for suppliers on all questions related to electronic invoicing, its procedures, and obligations.
Organize and plan communication activities (mailings, webinars, FAQs, conference calls).
Lead, coordinate, and monitor the supplier onboarding campaign on Safran's Approved Platform (PA) (Generix).
Anticipate risks:
Identify purchasing categories (excluding Production) at risk of losing essential information necessary for timely invoice validation during the implementation of electronic invoicing.
Gather and summarize, for these at-risk purchasing categories, the internal practices of Purchase Request Managers (PRMs) for invoice validation and administrative receipt in ARIBA/ERP. Compare
these Safran-specific internal practices with best practices that could be suggested by suppliers.
Propose improvement actions to anticipate the identified risks.
Coordinate with the purchasing teams and the P2P managers within the company (PRMs).
Management and monitoring of actions:
Implement and monitor a dashboard, reports, and progress indicators.
Communicate key events and progress achieved.
Ensure the regular escalation of any roadblocks.
Expertise and monitoring:
Maintain up-to-date knowledge of regulations.
To successfully carry out these missions, you will rely on the Finance Department (MOA FI), the Shared Service Centers (Safran Purchasing and Safran Finance Services), the network of P2P experts within the company, and the central P2P unit.
