Job Summary

Role Summary
Lead the transformation of SAP S/4HANA Production Planning (PP / PPDS) capabilities, integrating with Kinaxis Rapid Response to enable real-time, synchronized planning and execution across a complex semiconductor supply chain environment.
Key Responsibilities
•    Lead SAP PP / PPDS workstream across Plan-to-Fulfill (P2F) processes
•    Drive design and implementation of Kinaxis (Demand, Supply, S&OP, Factory Planning)
•    Define end-to-end planning-to-execution integration across SAP, MES, and PLM
•    Lead S/4HANA implementation lifecycle (design, build, test, cutover, hypercare)
•    Optimize planning through MRP, heuristics, and scheduling strategies
•    Align solutions with semiconductor constraints (multi-stage BOMs, long lead times) 
•    Manage cross-functional teams across planning, manufacturing, and IT
Must-Have Skills
Functional & Technical
•    Strong expertise in SAP S/4HANA PP / PPDS (configuration and solution design)
•    Hands on experience in Variant Configuration

•    Hands-on experience with Kinaxis RapidResponse integration
•    Deep knowledge of: 
o    MRP, production planning, and detailed scheduling
o    BOM, routings, production versions, capacity planning
•    Experience integrating SAP with: 
o    MM, SD, QM modules
o    MES and PLM systems
Program & Delivery
•    Proven experience leading end-to-end S/4HANA transformation programs

Leadership
•    Strong stakeholder management across business and IT
•    Experience leading global delivery (onshore/offshore teams)
Nice-to-Have Skills
•    Experience with advanced planning tools (SAP IBP, APO)
•    Exposure to S&OP / IBP processes and control tower solutions
•    Knowledge of: 
o    SAP BTP / Integration Suite / middleware (Talend, APIs)
o    Data integration and governance frameworks
•    Experience with: 
o    NPI (New Product Introduction) and engineering-driven supply chains
