About Us

Original Composites & Fibers is a global leader in glass reinforcement solutions for the composites industry. Recently separated from Owens Corning, the business now operates independently under the Praana ownership model, continuing a strong legacy of innovation, manufacturing excellence, and customer partnership.

With more than 4,000 employees worldwide, we are committed to redefining what's possible through a performance-driven culture centered on safety, quality, sustainability, inclusiveness, and employee development. Guided by our values of passion, ownership, and team spirit, we work together to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional service across the globe.

About the Role

We are seeking an SAP Basis Team Leader to lead the technical administration, operations, security, integration, and lifecycle management of our SAP landscape, including SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Cloud Identity Services, SAP Commerce Cloud, SAP Cloud ALM, and related SAP business applications. This role will ensure SAP environments are secure, stable, scalable, integrated, and ready to support global business operations.

This position will lead the SAP Basis function and serve as a key technical partner to ERP, infrastructure, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, application, and business teams. The role will coordinate with SAP, implementation partners, managed service providers, and internal IT teams to manage environments, transports, monitoring, releases, integrations, identity services, technical cutover, and operational readiness.

Original Composites & Fiberglass is a business unit of the Praana Group. Original Composites & Fiberglass was recently acquired by the Praana Group.
