Source to Pay Track Project Lead

As a key enabler to delivering against the organization's strategic priorities, a fit-for-purpose Operating Model (OM) is an imperative for LYB to improve effectiveness of service delivery, drive efficiency with scalable fixed costs, and enable the organization with modern technologies, all of which are essential to support LYB's evolving asset footprint, emerging business models, and focus on stepping up performance and culture.

LYB aims to transform the enterprise operating model through leveraging industry-standard E2E processes, establishing a corporate services platform with aligned organizational design and unified data infrastructure, and simplifying our ERP core with out-of-the-box technology solutions; this approach also constructs the process, technology, and organizational foundation for future capabilities.
