Corporate Planning & Management, Product Associate - SAP Ariba Administration, Associate
CORPORATE PLANNING & MANAGEMENT
Corporate Planning & Management (CPM) is a central strategic function at Goldman Sachs, responsible for driving firmwide operational excellence, business planning, and the infrastructure that enables the firm to operate with strength, resiliency, and agility. CPM partners across every division deliver scalable solutions, optimize business processes, and position the firm for sustainable growth. The CPM Division unifies Finance & Planning, Spend Management, Operational Risk and Resilience, and CPM Engineering teams to deliver business planning and analytics, expense management, third-party risk management, and governance strategies across the firm. Within Spend Management, the Source to Pay function encompasses Strategic Sourcing, Procure to Pay, Integrated Travel and Expense, Infrastructure and Transformation, and Sustainable Operations — managing all aspects of the firm's spend with third parties, advising on commercial agreements, and driving operating efficiency.
SOURCE TO PAY –PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
Within CPM, the Source to Pay function oversees the end-to-end lifecycle of procurement and payables — from sourcing and vendor management through purchasing, invoicing, and payment. The Global Procurement team is focused on optimizing the procurement experience for internal firmwide stakeholders, Goldman Sachs suppliers, and Global Procurement operations teams — driving customer experience excellence, enabling frictionless interactions across the procurement lifecycle, and delivering scalable solutions anchored in the SAP Ariba platform ecosystem.
YOUR IMPACT
Professionals in CPM have an analytical mindset, exhibit intellectual curiosity, and come from diverse academic backgrounds. The ideal candidate brings solid experience in product management and a growing understanding of procurement business processes and customer experience design — with hands-on familiarity with SAP Ariba or comparable Source to Pay platforms. The role requires regular collaboration across functions, the ability to work independently, and comfort interacting with senior professionals across the firm.
HOW YOU WILL FULFILL YOUR POTENTIAL
Role Overview: The Ariba Admin Product Associate will be responsible for the effective administration, configuration, and ongoing optimization of the SAP Ariba platform across Ariba Sourcing, Buying & Invoicing, Supplier Lifecycle & Performance (SLP), and the Ariba Network. This role will help ensure the platform remains scalable, well-controlled, and aligned to Source to Pay business needs, while supporting connectivity with SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fieldglass, middleware, and other adjacent systems.
This role requires close partnership across Product, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Tax, and global Source to Pay teams, with the ability to translate business needs into practical platform solutions. The candidate should be comfortable working independently, engaging senior stakeholders, producing clear analysis and reporting for management, and driving disciplined execution across configuration, controls, testing, and delivery activities.
