As a Functional Lead, you will partner with Product Management and technical teams to drive transformation initiatives in a discrete manufacturing environment with a primary focus on Engineered‑to‑Order (ETO) processes. This role requires deep functional and technical expertise in SAP SD and integrated platforms, combined with leadership in solution design, process standardization, and large‑scale ERP implementations. You will help shape the transformation roadmap, ensure alignment with business objectives, and deliver scalable, efficient solutions leveraging SAP S/4HANA and integrations with third‑party systems.

Experience with related manufacturing models such as Make‑to‑Order (MTO), Configure‑to‑Order (CTO), and Make‑to‑Stock (MTS) is a plus, but ETO expertise is critical and mandatory for this position.

Principal Duties & Responsibilities

• Serve as the functional lead providing technical and process expertise, with a strong emphasis on ETO workflows, driving solution and process standardization across SAP SD and integrated platforms.
• Partner with Product Owners and Managers to define scope, confirm required customizations, and identify value drivers; advise on design decisions and ensure alignment with business objectives, particularly for complex ETO scenarios.
• Collaborate with Solution Architects and technical teams to shape the Solution Roadmap and Architecture Runway, ensuring integration with Finance, Logistics, Project Systems (including ETO), Supply Chain, and third‑party systems.
• Lead and support Agile delivery teams through sprint planning, execution, and backlog management; ensure timely delivery of user stories and resolution of defects, with special attention to ETO‑specific requirements.
• Oversee development, testing, and end‑to‑end process validation; define test scope and ensure coverage for ETO‑driven manufacturing scenarios, including custom engineering and project‑based production.
• Drive risk mitigation, clear impediments, and provide guidance to maintain alignment with program vision and standards.
• Coordinate cross‑functional activities including stakeholder engagement, change management, and execution of comprehensive cutover plans for business and technical readiness.
• Promote innovation and problem‑solving to minimize customizations while meeting user needs; foster collaboration and continuous improvement across distributed teams.
• Actively participate in program ceremonies such as PI Planning and backlog grooming to maintain transparency and alignment.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Proven leadership in multiple complex ERP implementation projects and large‑scale business transformation programs leveraging SAP technologies, including at least one full end‑to‑end SAP S/4HANA implementation in a discrete manufacturing environment.
• Mandatory hands‑on experience with Engineered‑to‑Order (ETO) processes in discrete manufacturing, including solution design and execution for highly customized, project‑based production.
• Experience with related manufacturing models such as Make‑to‑Order (MTO), Configure‑to‑Order (CTO), and Make‑to‑Stock (MTS) is a plus.

Technical Expertise

• Strong knowledge of order management in Sales and Distribution and SAP project execution capabilities, including industry‑leading practices and technologies for ETO environments.
• Multi‑platform experience with SAP SD/OTC capabilities and integrations with Finance, Logistics, Project System (PS)—including complex ETO—and Supply Chain Management.
• Hands‑on SAP S/4HANA experience; capable of designing, building, and implementing solutions for ETO scenarios.
• Experience designing and developing integrations using SAP PI, SAP PO, SAP CPI, MuleSoft, and other middleware tools for third‑party system connectivity.
