Because of this huge undertaking, we rely on highly advanced systems as well as the very best talent to make sure our businesses continue to run smoothly.

We have teams in over 100 sites across more than 30 countries, but what matters is that wherever you work, you're part of a diverse, inclusive team where there are opportunities for everyone.

Context

Diageo is undertaking an ambitious transformation journey including a global transition to the newest version of SAP (S/4 HANA) powered by RISE (Project Voyager), redevelopment of our reporting and analytics landscape and a number of process specific initiatives. This ambition has caused us to rethink our relationship with processes and data, and systems and develop a new process & data ownership model led by Global Process Owners (GPOs), assisted by Global Process Leads, across all key domains within our business taxonomy (processes). These roles will be critical to our long term success and allow us to ensure that process decisions are cohesive, standardised where possible and use the best thinking within CPG in terms of digital and future solutions.

Role Dimensions

The Global Process Lead (GPL) role will have ownership of L2 process within Logistics for their domain globally and will be the key contributor in defining the taxomomy and language used to describe relevant processes, ownership of process health definitions / metrics / tracking, as well as responsibility to define what initiatives (including data and digital) should be initiated to support the improvement of processes.

Another key aspect of the role will be process mapping, ensuring controls are in the right place and effective, and documenting our processes so there is a single source of the truth. The GPL role will also act as a data owner for the domain and will be accountable for ensuring that the data structures underpinning the process and resulting reporting and analytics are fit for purpose and well maintained.

For Project Voyager to succeed it is critical that this taxonomy is established within Diageo and the GPO / GPL model is set up effectively. Diageo's global processes are fragmented and often tailored to regional or market practices. Establishing the Process Ownership framework is the basis of driving standardisation within Diageo – which will mean a significant behavioural, cultural and possibly (to a smaller extent) structural transformation. All operation elements of the business will be forced to adapt and revise what they do.

The role will be accountable to the Global Process Owner who ultimately has accountability for the processes and is reportable to the Global Process Executive
