You will be the primary architect for our Plan-to-Produce and Order-to-Cash cycles, ensuring our manufacturing plants stay synchronized with customer demand. While expertise in all three core modules (PP, SD, MM) is required, the ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of how these modules interact in a high-volume building products environment.

Industry-Specific Experience
10–12+ years of hands-on SAP functional experience.
Direct experience in Building Products and/or Discrete Manufacturing .
Experience with S/4HANA is highly preferred.
