Job description
We’re looking for a senior-level SAP Production Planning (PP) professional who can operate as both a strategic business partner and a hands‑on functional lead. This role is ideal for someone who understands manufacturing operations deeply and knows how to translate business needs into practical, well‑designed SAP solutions.
You will serve as the enterprise lead for SAP PP, partnering closely with operations, supply chain, and IT teams across multiple manufacturing sites. This position sits within a centralized SAP Center of Excellence and plays a key role in ensuring that SAP S/4HANA effectively supports planning, scheduling, and shop floor execution.
This is not a purely support role. You’ll own design decisions, lead configuration efforts, and help shape how production planning processes scale as the business grows.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Act as the enterprise process owner and design authority for SAP Production Planning (PP)
Serve as the primary SAP functional partner to manufacturing planning and operations teams
Lead end‑to‑end requirements gathering, solution design, and hands‑on configuration in SAP PP
Configure and optimize:
Bills of Material (BOMs)
Routings and work centers
Production versions and order execution
MRP and planning strategies (make‑to‑stock and make‑to‑order)
Demand management (PIRs and forecast consumption)
Support capacity planning, shop floor control, production confirmations, backflushing, and variance analysis
Configure and support batch‑managed materials and traceability processes
Ensure strong integration between SAP PP and adjacent modules, particularly Materials Management (MM) and Sales & Distribution (SD)
Partner with technical teams on integrations between SAP and manufacturing execution systems (MES)
Facilitate workshops, develop functional specifications, and support testing cycles (unit, integration, and UAT)
Continuously evaluate and improve planning and production processes within SAP
What You Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field (or equivalent experience)
8+ years of progressive SAP PP experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment
Strong hands‑on configuration experience delivering enhancements and new functionality
Deep understanding of:
MRP and demand management
Capacity planning and shop floor control
Batch‑managed materials
Integration points between PP, MM (Inventory Management), and SD
Experience supporting SAP S/4HANA (Cloud, Private Edition preferred)
Exposure to MES or shop floor system integrations
Solid grasp of manufacturing processes, production scheduling, and material flow
Ability to influence cross‑functional stakeholders without direct authority
Strong analytical and problem‑solving capabilities
Additional Experience That Stands Out
Multi‑site manufacturing support experience
Familiarity with SAP MM, SD, or FICO integrations
Experience with SAP Fiori applications and manufacturing analytics
Experience mentoring junior team members or leading functional workstreams
Interest in growing into broader enterprise systems leadership
