Join a leading SAP S/4HANA transformation initiative as an experienced Module Lead for Materials Management (MM) and Warehouse Management (WM). This critical role involves guiding the design, configuration, and successful implementation of MM and WM workstreams within large-scale S/4HANA projects.
You will be instrumental in facilitating a smooth transition from ECC to S/4HANA, ensuring logistics processes align with SAP best practices, and delivering robust solutions for procurement, inventory management, and warehouse operations.
Lead the MM and WM functional streams throughout SAP S/4HANA transformation projects (Greenfield, Brownfield, or Selective Transition), taking ownership of end-to-end solution delivery for Procure-to-Pay (P2P) and Inventory & Warehouse processes. Serve as the primary liaison for MM & WM matters with business stakeholders and project leadership.
Drive solution design and configuration for SAP MM (Purchasing, Inventory Management, Valuation) and SAP WM (Inbound/Outbound Processing, Putaway, Picking). Ensure the adoption of S/4HANA logistics simplifications like MATDOC and FI integration. Lead discussions on Classic WM versus Stock Room Management versus Embedded EWM.
Spearhead Fit-to-Standard (F2S) workshops and business process harmonization. Identify and manage impacts of custom code (RICEFW) for MM & WM in S/4HANA. Support Business Partner (BP) and logistics master data conversion activities.
Coordinate closely with SD, PP, QM, FI/CO, EWM, and TM teams to ensure seamless end-to-end integration across logistics and finance. Collaborate with technical teams on interfaces, enhancements, and data migration.
Lead MM & WM unit testing, SIT, UAT, and defect resolution. Own cutover planning for inventory, open purchase orders, and warehouse stock. Provide crucial go-live and hypercare support, acting as the MM & WM escalation point.
Uphold SAP Activate methodology and project standards. Review and approve functional specifications, configurations, and test artifacts. Mentor MM & WM consultants and facilitate knowledge transfer.
A minimum of 10–12 years of extensive SAP experience is required, with deep hands-on expertise in SAP MM (P2P, Inventory Management, Valuation) and SAP WM (Classic WM). Proven experience leading at least two full-cycle SAP S/4HANA transformation projects is essential.
A strong grasp of logistics differences and simplifications between ECC and S/4HANA is necessary, including experience with MATDOC, inventory simplification, and the Business Partner (BP) concept. Familiarity with WM migration strategies is also key. Exposure to Embedded EWM is highly desirable. Knowledge of LeanIX or Signavio for process flow preparation is a significant advantage.
Demonstrated ability to lead module-level delivery within complex SAP programs is expected, complemented by strong stakeholder communication and coordination skills. Experience working within global onshore–offshore delivery models is also required.
While not strictly mandatory, an SAP S/4HANA certification in MM or Logistics, experience with SAP Activate methodology, and industry background in Manufacturing, Automotive, Retail, or Consumer Goods are preferred. Exposure to QM, TM, or Yard Logistics is a plus.
Exceptional analytical and problem-solving capabilities are needed, alongside the ability to translate business requirements into effective SAP solutions. A mentoring and coaching mindset, coupled with excellent documentation and presentation skills, will contribute to success in this role.
