• Establish and maintain clear operating procedures, functional playbooks, and escalation paths for Supply Chain processes.
• Ensure batch jobs, planning runs, and integration points execute reliably and meet business SLAs.
• Partner with AMS providers to ensure quality delivery, accountability, and knowledge continuity.

Stabilization, Governance & Clean Core

• Govern configuration, transport discipline, and design decisions impacting planning, inventory, and execution.
• Ensure functional designs are robust, supportable, and compliant, especially in a SOX-controlled environment.
• Collaborate with Master Data, Finance, and OTC counterparts to prevent downstream impacts from upstream planning issues.
• Support audit and compliance activities related to inventory valuation, controls, and process integrity.

Continuous Improvement & Transformation

• Identify opportunities to improve planner effectiveness, inventory turns, service levels, and plant execution reliability.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives across planning accuracy, demand signals, and supply execution.
• Support upgrades, enhancements, and innovation initiatives aligned with business priorities and S/4HANA roadmap including but not limited to leveraging Ariba, Signavio, Joule AI, LeanIX and other SAP applications.
• Drive adoption through training, documentation, and close engagement with Super Users.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, or related field.

• Inventory data is accurate, trusted, and operationally usable.
• Incidents are resolved quickly with sustainable fixes—not workarounds.
• Business partners experience improved service levels and confidence in SAP.
