Overview:

The client is seeking an experienced SAP Supply Chain Project Manager to drive planning and execution of high-impact projects across its manufacturing and logistics systems landscape. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience delivering complex SAP S/4HANA projects, especially across EWM, MM, PP, and SD, in a fast-paced discrete manufacturing or automotive setting. This is a highly cross-functional role involving deep interaction with business stakeholders in Supply Chain, Plant Operations, Warehousing, and IT.

You will be expected to take complete ownership of project delivery — from requirements gathering through go-live — while engaging with Engineering, Manufacturing Ops, and Logistics leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end project management of SAP supply chain initiatives involving S/4HANA, EWM, PP, and MM modules.
• Partner with business stakeholders to define scope, priorities, and success metrics across inventory, production, logistics, and warehouse operations.
• Own cross-functional project plans, RAID logs, resource allocation, risk mitigation, and budget tracking.
• Coordinate delivery with internal functional teams, system integrators, and third-party logistics or MES vendors.
• Drive integration efforts across SAP, MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), and external platforms like Salesforce and logistics providers.
• Maintain tight project documentation, manage change control, and ensure compliance with internal audit/SOX guidelines.
• Facilitate daily stand-ups, milestone reviews, and executive-level reporting for stakeholders across Operations and IT.
• Proactively identify blockers, lead resolution strategies, and keep stakeholders informed in real time.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 10+ years of total experience, with at least 5+ years managing SAP projects in supply chain, logistics, or manufacturing environments.
• Proven track record delivering SAP EWM and MM/PP implementations or enhancements, ideally in S/4HANA.
• Deep understanding of plant operations, warehouse flows, production planning, and integration points between SAP and MES.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to operate independently with limited PMO support.
• Hands-on experience with tools like Jira, ServiceNow, and Clarity PPM.
• Strong stakeholder management skills — able to communicate effectively with Operations Directors, Plant Managers, and technical leads.
• Familiarity with Agile or hybrid delivery methodologies in manufacturing contexts.

Nice to Have:

• Automotive or discrete manufacturing background
• Experience with SAP-MES integration, or platforms like SAP MII, SAP ME, or Ignition
• PMP or equivalent certification
• Exposure to SOX, GxP, or quality compliance systems
• Understanding of reverse logistics and outbound fulfillment processes
