Collaboration & Governance
• Partner with Product Owners, AMS partners, and cross-functional ERP, Manufacturing, Warehousing, and EIM/BW teams.
• Work with Basis and Infrastructure teams on release cycles, patching, and system availability topics.
• Contribute to guilds and knowledge-sharing forums, maintaining runbooks and solution documentation.
Continuous Improvement & Innovation
• Identify automation and simplification opportunities across IBP/APO operational flows.
• Participate in planning projects, proof-of-concepts, and capability upgrades.
• Support training, onboarding, and process adoption for end users where necessary.
Required Skills & Experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in SAP IBP implementation and/or support.
• Strong functional knowledge of planning processes: Demand Planning, Supply Planning, Inventory Optimization, Response & Supply.
• Good understanding of integration with ECC/S4, BW/BI (QxP/Helios), and CPI-DS/SDI.
• Experience designing functional specs, solution documentation, and test scenarios.
• Strong analytical mindset, problem-solving skills, and ability to interpret planning data.
• Solid communication skills and ability to work in a global, cross-functional environment.
