Job Description: Hands‑on S/4HANA SCM Architect who can lead design and build across planning, procurement, manufacturing, warehouse, and fulfillment, while configuring, prototyping, and guiding build teams. You will set the end‑to‑end SCM solution blueprint, integrate with adjacent platforms (IBP, BTP, Integration Suite), and drive delivery from discovery to hypercare.

Scope & Solution Domains

• Planning: MRP Live, demand/supply planning, PP/PP-DS basics, aATP substitutions/allocations/backorders.
• Procurement: MM/P2P, source‑to‑contract, pricing/conditions, supplier collaboration, consignment/subcontracting.
• Manufacturing: Discrete/process/repetitive, routings/BoMs, shop‑floor execution, quality gates (QM), serialization/traceability.
• Logistics & Fulfillment: EWM (decentralized/embedded), inbound/outbound, slotting & rearrangement, labor mgmt basics, TM integration, shipping & global trade considerations.
• Data & Analytics: Master data governance touchpoints (MDG), migration/cutover, inventory accuracy, KPIs and operational reporting (CDS/Embedded Analytics).
• Integration: SAP Integration Suite (CPI), IDoc/OData/API Mgmt, EDI partners, 3PL/WMS/TMS, MES, and IBP.
• Extensibility: SAP BTP side‑by‑side apps (RAP/CAP), Fiori/UI5 for operational UX, workflow, and exception handling.

Responsibilities

• Own the SCM architecture for S/4 programs (Greenfield/Brownfield/Selective Data Transition) from blueprint to go‑live.
• Configure hands‑on in core SCM areas (MM, PP, EWM; aATP), build prototypes, and guide fit‑to‑standard vs. extension decisions.
• Define E2E process designs (Plan‑Buy‑Make‑Move‑Sell), NFRs, and cutover strategies; lead conference‑room pilots and solution demos.
• Lead integration design with IBP, CPI, 3PL/MES/TMS; define data models, error handling, monitoring, and operational runbooks.
• Drive performance and resilience (batch strategies, wave picking, MFS handshakes, aATP performance, inventory accuracy).
• Establish governance & quality: solution standards, testing strategy (incl. Tosca/automation where relevant), and transport controls.
• Partner with delivery leads and account teams on estimation, proposals, and solution reviews; support pre‑sales and SOWs.
• Mentor consultants; uplevel configuration, documentation quality, and client communication.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 15+ years SAP experience with 7+ years focused on S/4HANA SCM (public/private cloud or on‑prem).
• Led 3+ end‑to‑end S/4 implementations in SCM as solution/enterprise architect.
• Deep hands‑on expertise in MM, PP, and EWM (must‑have) and practical knowledge of aATP and QM.
• Proven EWM design (waves, slotting, HU management, RF, yard mgmt basics; decentralized vs. embedded).
• Solid integration background: CPI/EDI/IDoc/API, 3PL/TMS/MES, and IBP process alignment.
• Strong cutover/data migration experience (material master, BoM/routings, open POs/PRs, inventory balances).
• Excellent stakeholder management with VP/CXO audiences; crisp documentation and decision logs.
• Builder‑leader: can architect and configure.
• Pragmatic, outcome‑driven, strong ownership.
• Exceptional communicator; coaches teams to high standards.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with RISE with SAP, private cloud, and hyperscalers (Azure/AWS/GCP).
• Exposure to PP‑DS, TM, GTS, and serialization/GS1.
• SAP certifications in S/4 SCM/EWM/MM/PP; IBP exposure a plus.
• Familiarity with Tosca or other test automation; knowledge of MDG.
