The ideal candidate brings deep functional expertise, operational rigor, strong root-cause mindset, and the ability to partner closely with business leaders, super users, AMS providers, and technical teams.

Key Responsibilities

Technology Expertise & Functional Leadership

• Represent DTT in extended functional forums, working closely with Super Users, Plant leadership, and cross-functional teams.

• Material Master & Planning Data
• Manufacturing Integration (PP/MM touchpoints)
• Own stabilization of MRP behavior, stock imbalances, planning exceptions, ATP issues, and master data quality gaps.
• Drive incident and problem management with a strong root cause and prevention mindset, not just ticket resolution.
• 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

• Enforce clean core principles, minimizing custom code and advocating for standard S/4HANA capabilities.
• 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.
• 10+ years of hands-on SAP experience across Supply Chain and Planning areas (MM, PP, MRP, APO, IM).
• Strong understanding of manufacturing supply chain processes and planning dependencies.
• Demonstrated experience in incident, problem, and application lifecycle management.

What Success Looks Like

• 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.
