Job summary

Shrive Technologies LLC seeks a senior SAP S/4HANA PP/PPDS expert to lead the transformation of production planning capabilities. The role requires steering a global delivery of PP/PPDS implementations, designing end-to-end planning processes and ensuring seamless integration across SAP, MES, and PLM in a semiconductor environment.

The candidate will drive lifecycle activities from design through hypercare, optimize MRP-based planning, and align solutions with long lead times and multi-stage

Qualifications

• Strong expertise in SAP S/4HANA PP/PPDS (configuration and solution design).
• Hands-on experience in Variant Configuration.
• Experience with multi-stage manufacturing constraints in semiconductor/high-tech contexts.

Responsibilities

• Lead SAP PP / PPDS workstream across Plan-to-Fulfill (P2F) processes.
• Define end-to-end planning-to-execution integration across SAP, MES, and PLM.
• Lead S/4HANA implementation lifecycle (design, build, test, cutover, hypercare).
• Optimize planning through MRP, heuristics, and scheduling strategies.
• Align solutions with semiconductor constraints (multi-stage BOMs, long lead times).
• Manage cross-functional teams across planning, manufacturing, and IT.
