This role provides deep functional and configuration leadership for SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) operating within an SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud (RISE) environment and supporting a globally distributed manufacturing and logistics network, including internally operated facilities and 3PL-managed warehouses. The position is responsible for partnering with systems integration from design through stabilization while supporting the business in best practices to govern end-to-end global trade compliance processes, including export and import control determination, embargo and sanctioned party screening, customs compliance, and trade documentation. The role also supports complex cross-border, intercompany, and triangular shipment models where ownership, physical movement, and commercial flows span multiple legal entities and countries.

• Produce and maintain high-quality documentation including:
  • Functional requirements and design specifications
  • End-to-end trade compliance and logistics integration flows
  • Configuration rationale and compliance traceability mappings
• Develop and execute test strategies, scenarios, and scripts supporting GxP / GAMP 5 / CSV validation for trade compliance processes impacting regulated supply chains.
