- Proven experience delivering or overseeing reporting solutions in S/4HANA environments, including ECC to S/4HANA transformations
- Demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership and assurance, reviewing data models, reporting logic, metrics and data lineage
- Deep understanding of procurement and materials metrics, with the ability to identify insights that are technically correct but operationally or audit‑misleading
- Strong stakeholder engagement and leadership skills, with experience guiding delivery teams or external partners and influencing outcomes across business and technology
What we offer
- Be recognised for your contribution, your thinking and your hard work, and go home knowing you’ve helped the world progress
- Attractive compensation that is aligned to the specialist nature and impact of the role

- High‑impact contract role where your expertise helps shape the future of Planning & Reporting across a global enterprise
Where you’ll be working
You’ll join the Modern ERP Program — a multi‑disciplinary team bringing together technology, process, data and change specialists to reshape how work happens across Rio Tinto. We’re modernising a 20‑year‑old ERP system and redesigning core business processes to improve safety, efficiency and ignite innovation.
This work supports our people across global operations to spend less time on transactional tasks and more time on work that really matters. By simplifying and digitising how the organisation runs, the Modern ERP Program is creating the foundation for future productivity gains, smarter decision‑making and AI‑enabled transformation.
