JOB SUMMARY

This role provides deep functional and configuration leadership for SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) operating within an SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud (RISE) environment and supporting a globally distributed manufacturing and logistics network, including internally operated facilities and 3PL-managed warehouses.

The position is responsible for partnering with our systems integration from design, development, stabilization, while supporting the business in best practices to govern end-to-end global trade compliance processes, including export and import control determination, embargo and sanctioned party screening, customs compliance, and trade documentation. The role will aso support complex cross-border, intercompany, and triangular shipment models where ownership, physical movement, and commercial flows span multiple legal entities and countries.

The Principal Configuration Analyst serves as a bridge between Global Trade Compliance, Supply Chain, Logistics, Finance, Integration, and IT Architecture, ensuring SAP GTS solutions align with SAP S/4HANA business processes, embedded SAP Transportation Management execution flows, Private Cloud constraints, and long-term enterprise architecture standards.

Produce and maintain high-quality documentation including:

• Functional requirements and design specifications
• End-to-end trade compliance and logistics integration flows
• Configuration rationale and compliance traceability mappings

Develop and execute test strategies, scenarios, and scripts supporting GxP / GAMP 5 / CSV validation for trade compliance processes impacting regulated supply chains.

• Trade compliance for complex intercompany and triangular shipment models
