Coupa System Consultant - Paying up to £400 Per Day, Outside IR35, Based in Reading, Hybrid Working, To Start ASAP

Your new company

This nationally respected Education institute is undergoing a strategic transformation to enhance operational efficiency and financial governance. Earlier this year, the organisation implemented Coupa to modernise its procurement and invoicing processes. While the system is in place, its potential remains largely untapped due to limited training and post-implementation development. With a strong commitment to maximising return on investment and empowering internal teams, the organisation is now seeking a highly experienced Coupa Consultant to lead a targeted optimisation programme. This is a critical role that will directly support the organisation’s mission to deliver greater value through smarter systems and more capable users.

Your new role

As Coupa Consultant, you will be responsible for driving post-implementation success across the organisation. Working closely with the finance and commercial teams, you will lead a structured programme of training, engagement and system refinement. Your remit will include designing and delivering workshops, providing one-to-one coaching for licenced users and embedding best practices that enable teams to use Coupa confidently and effectively. A key priority will be resolving issues with SmashInvoice, which functioned well at launch but has since encountered technical challenges. These issues are believed to stem from a recent Coupa system update or enhancement and will require expert front-end configuration to restore functionality. You will take ownership of this diagnostic and resolution process, ensuring that the platform is fully operational and aligned with business needs. This role demands a blend of technical expertise, stakeholder engagement and strategic insight. You will act as both a superuser and trusted advisor, helping the organisation navigate the complexities of post-go-live optimisation and realise the full value of its investment.
