• Configure demand-driven MRP (DDMRP) and MRP-based detailed scheduling in S/4HANA
• Define the boundary between S/4HANA embedded planning and IBP for clients adopting a hybrid planning architecture

Program Delivery

• Lead APO and IBP workstreams through full SAP Activate lifecycle: Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy, Run
• Facilitate fit-to-standard and migration design workshops with Supply Chain, Demand Planning, S&OP, and Operations stakeholders
• Author and maintain key design documents: BBPs, FSDs, migration mapping specs, configuration workbooks, and test scripts
• Lead data migration activities for planning master data: locations, products, resources, PPMs/PTFs, and historical demand
• Lead SIT, UAT, and cutover planning for APO decommission and IBP go-live
• Coordinate with PP, MM, SD, and FI/CO functional teams on planning integration design and testing

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements
