SAP Production & Subcon Analyst (Production Planning & Subcontracting Analyst)

Function: Global IT — Supply Chain (Plan)

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Production Planning & Subcontracting Analyst to own and advance production planning, subcontract planning, and supplier collaboration capabilities within our global SAP S/4HANA landscape. With our multi-wave ERP deployment complete, the focus shifts to sustaining, standardizing, and continuously improving the solution - while supporting new deployment activity as standalone legacy applications are migrated onto the consolidated ERP. The emphasis is production planning and detailed scheduling in SAP PP/DS, with secondary responsibility for subcontract planning and supplier collaboration through SAP Ariba Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC). The ideal candidate is equally comfortable sitting with a production planner to troubleshoot a planning heuristic and working with a subcontractor's planner to resolve a purchase order confirmation in the Ariba network.

Key Responsibilities

Production Planning (primary)

Serve as the business process and technical subject matter expert for the production planning and subcontract planning scope of the global Plan process. Provide functional expertise and day-to-day support for SAP PP/DS - planning heuristics, detailed scheduling, capacity leveling, MRP areas, planning strategies, and PP/DS-to-S/4 integration. Own planning-relevant master data standards (resources, routings/PDS, lot sizing, scheduling parameters, planning time fence) and drive data quality remediation with sites. Investigate and resolve planning defects, distinguishing master data issues, process adherence gaps, and true system defects. Support functional design that complements the technical capabilities of the system, including specification writing, configuration, and development testing. Support prepare, activate, and deploy activities for new sites, product transfers, acquisitions, and migrations of standalone legacy applications onto the consolidated ERP. Support go-live, hypercare, and stabilization, including on-site support where required. Partner with the supply planning and IBP teams to ensure clean handoff of demand into the production planning horizon.

Subcontracting (secondary)

Support subcontract planning end to end: subcontracting requisitions and purchase orders, component provisioning and consumption, and third-party manufacturing visibility. Facilitate onboarding and enablement of new subcontractors onto the Ariba network, including supplier training and cutover coordination.

Cross-cutting

Drive global standardization of planning processes and alignment to standard ERP functionality, resisting site-level divergence where a global template solution exists. Collaborate across planning, procurement, manufacturing, master data, and IT to keep business process and system design aligned. Support unit, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing. Maintain process documentation, work instructions, and training materials. Drive continuous improvement, including enhancement intake, prioritization, and benefit validation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Information Systems, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of experience in SAP production planning, supply chain, or procurement in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong working knowledge of subcontracting in SAP, including component provisioning and settlement.
• Hands- on functional experience with SAP PP/DS (or APO PP-DS) - planning runs, detailed scheduling, and exception management.
• Demonstrated experience deploying or supporting SAP S/4HANA in a manufacturing environment, including testing and cutover activities.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to trace an issue from a symptom on the plant floor to a root cause in configuration or master data.
• Excellent communication skills, working across functions, across regions, and directly with external supplier partners.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands- on experience with SAP Ariba Supply Chain Collaboration, including supplier enablement and collaboration document flows.
• Familiarity with integration technologies (CIG, CPI, EDI, or APIs) and the ability to read integration logs to isolate a failure point.
• Experience with SAP IBP, demand planning, or the demand-to-supply handoff.
• Experience migrating standalone or legacy planning applications onto a consolidated ERP platform.
• Experience supporting global deployments and multi-region supplier networks.

Key Competencies

• Production Planning & Detailed Scheduling
• Subcontract Planning & Supplier Collaboration
• Global Process Standardization & Template Governance
• Master Data Stewardship
• Stakeholder Communication & Cross-Functional Alignment
• Continuous Improvement & Post-Go-Live Support
