Job description

The Integration Lead is responsible for leading the end-to-end integration of legacy (non-SAP) systems with SAP platforms across global manufacturing plants. This role combines technical integration leadership with project management and stakeholder coordination across skill teams and external suppliers. The Integration Lead will define and govern standard global integration templates, and ensure stable, secure, and scalable interfaces that support MMP operations.

Key Responsibilities

Integration Leadership (End-to-End)

• Lead delivery of integrations between MMP S/4HANA and legacy/non-SAP systems
• Collaborate with Functional, Technical and Enterprise Architecture to develop integration architecture and approach for assigned programs, including interface patterns, data flows and performance requirements.
• Lead interface standards and best practices (API-led, event-driven, EDI, IDoc, RFC, OData, file-based), aligned to enterprise integration strategy.

MMP PDO / Skill Team Collaboration (Cross-Product Coordination)

• Partner with multiple MMP PDO teams to align integration scope, priorities, and delivery timelines across concurrent initiatives.
• Manage cross-team dependencies (design decisions, shared services, master data impacts, environment constraints) and drive timely resolution through MMP governance forums.
• Coordinate end-to-end testing execution across PDO teams (SIT/E2E/UAT), ensuring integrated processes function across functional boundaries.
• Maintain and update the integrated cutover run-book/timeline, ensuring accuracy of task owners, dependencies, and completion status.
• Coordinate go/no-go decision points with cutover leads, providing integration health status and risk assessment.

Global Template Development (Manufacturing and Assembly Plants)

• Develop and maintain global integration templates and reusable assets for plant rollouts, including:
  • Standard interface designs and mappings
  • cutover checklists and hypercare readiness criteria
• Drive standardization while enabling controlled localization based on plant-specific constraints.

Project Management & Delivery Execution

• Plan and manage integration workstreams across multiple projects/plant deployments: scope, schedule, dependencies, RAID (risks, actions, issues, decisions), and status reporting.
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery activities (SAP functional teams, legacy app owners, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data, and operations).
• Manage integration milestones with skill teams: design sign-off, build, SIT, Load, end-to-end testing, performance testing, UAT, cutover and hypercare.
• Ensure change control and release readiness are followed on areas impacting skill teams (CAB processes, validation evidence, rollback plans).

Supplier & Stakeholder Coordination

• Act as primary integration point-of-contact for internal stakeholders and external suppliers.
• Lead joint design sessions, clarify requirements, manage deliverables, and ensure alignment on timelines and acceptance criteria.
• Govern supplier execution quality (technical design compliance, testing rigor, documentation, defect resolution, and handover).
• Ensure production support readiness.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or equivalent.
• 15+ years of experience in enterprise integration delivery, including SAP-to-non-SAP integrations.
• 10+ years managing global teams.
• Demonstrated experience leading integration work streams in manufacturing, supply chain, or plant operations environments.
• GCP is preferred.
