[Hiring] Coupa Functional Consultant @NewVison

Role Description

The role has three purposes:

• Best-practice guidance.
• Independent risk assessment.
• Knowledge transfer.

This is an advisory and assurance role with hands-on configuration work in the client instance. It is not a delivery, build or programme management role. Requirements and target process are already documented - candidate will review, challenge and improve them rather than run discovery from a blank page.

Candidate will be successful here if comfortable holding a position under challenge, and tell us what is wrong rather than confirming what we already believe.

Responsibilities

• CLMA configuration advisory:
  • contract type library, templates and workflows;
  • clause library design including risk scoring and fallback language;
  • approval chains against a multi-tier delegation-of-authority matrix;
  • roles, content groups and repository visibility;
  • amendments, renewals and obligation tracking;
  • legacy contract migration.
• RPMA configuration advisory:
  • multi-domain third-party risk assessments (InfoSec, ABAC, GDPR, financial) — questionnaires, scoring models, mitigation workflows, re-assessment cadence;
  • Risk Aware external data feeds and supplier health score calibration;
  • supplier tiering and risk programme operating model;
  • alignment with supplier master data configuration.
• Cross-module design:
  • how supplier risk status, contract records and sourcing events connect to each other and to the Core estate — including avoiding duplicate data capture across intake forms, supplier records and risk questionnaires.
• Sourcing advisory:
  • event templates and configuration, and the handover from sourcing outcome to contract record.
• Analytics:
  • what Coupa native analytics delivers across contract, risk and sourcing objects, and where reporting must move to an external BI layer.
• AI capabilities:
  • realistic assessment of Contract Intelligence, AI metadata extraction, AI risk monitoring and Agent Studio — including which features belong in the first release and which should be deferred (Nice to have).

Deliverables

• written implementation risk assessment with mitigations and readiness opinion;
• configuration handbook;
• knowledge-transfer sessions with the internal team and Coupa administrator.

Requirements

• 3+ years hands-on Coupa configuration and implementation experience.
• At least one Coupa CLM Advanced or RPMA implementation delivered to go-live, with personal responsibility for the configuration.
• CLM Standard alone, or supplier onboarding in SIM alone, does not qualify.
• Working knowledge of Coupa Core / P2P and SIM, sufficient to reason about how contracts and risk connect to the Core modules.
• Able to work directly in a customer instance, not only produce design documentation.
• Able to give an independent opinion and defend it under challenge.
• Fluent English; comfortable with legal, procurement and compliance stakeholders.
• Available to work European business hours.

Preferred

• Hands-on experience across both CLM-A and RPMA (Risk Assess and/or Risk Aware) rather than one.
• Coupa Sourcing and Coupa Analytics configured in production.
• Coupa certifications: CLM-A, Risk Assess, Platform, Supplier Information Management, Core Implementation Specialist, Procure-to-Pay System Administrator.
• CLM and supplier risk designed together rather than as separate projects.
• Coupa Contract Intelligence in production.
• Coupa AI / Navi, Agent Studio.
