Job Description
Principal Architect
Coupa Software
• AI Opportunity Mapping: Lead workshops to deconstruct legacy procurement workflows and identify where **Coupa Agents** (native or custom) can drive the highest ROI. • Agentic Deployment Strategy: Help clients determine the "where" and "how" of agent deployment, deciding which processes should be fully autonomous vs. human-in-the-loop. • Target Operating Model Design: Define the future-state metrics (KPIs) that the AI transformation must achieve, ensuring they align with board-level goals. • Maturity Audit: Evaluate the customer’s **AI Readiness** across three lenses: **Culture** (willingness to trust agents), **Data** (is the intelligence layer fueled correctly?), and **Process** (is the workflow "agent-ready"?). • Blocker Mitigation: Identify internal policy or workforce hurdles early and partner with leadership to dismantle them. • Organizational Change (OCM): Advise on workforce shifts, including the creation of **AI Centers of Excellence (COE)** and the retraining of staff to manage an "AI Workforce." • Policy Transformation: Guide customers on updating internal governance to allow for autonomous agent actions (e.g., automated contract redlining or tail-spend negotiation). • Architect Collaboration: Act as the "Tone Setter" for the technical team. You define the *Vision*; the **Agentic Architect** defines the *Build*. • Roadmap Integration: Bridge the gap between the customer’s long-term transformation goals and the Coupa Product Roadmap to ensure the client is always ahead of the curve
Job Requirements
- Agentic AI Expertise: Deep understanding of the GenAI and Agentic AI landscape (LLMs, RAG, autonomous agents). You must understand what agents *can* and *cannot* do today.
- Procurement/Finance Domain: Professional fluency in Source-to-Pay (S2P) processes. You need to understand the "Legacy" pain points to architect the "Agentic" solution.
- Executive Presence: Possess the dual-fluency to secure C-Suite buy-in on AI vision while simultaneously collaborating with functional leads to map that vision to day-to-day S2P workflows.
- Proven Digital Transformation Leadership: 10+ years of experience leading large-scale, cross-functional digital transformation initiatives at the Enterprise level.
- Coupa Experience: Previous experience with the Coupa platform is a plus, but we value **Agent-First Thinking** above platform familiarity.
- Consulting Pedigree: Experience in Tier-1 management consulting or leading massive digital transformation projects.
Benefits
- Pioneering Technology: At Coupa, we're at the forefront of innovation, leveraging the latest technology to empower our customers with greater efficiency and visibility in their spend.
- Collaborative Culture: We value collaboration and teamwork, and our culture is driven by transparency, openness, and a shared commitment to excellence.
