Job Description paragraph:
"As a Functional Lead, you will partner with Product Management and technical teams to drive transformation initiatives in a discrete manufacturing environment with a primary focus on Engineered-to-Order (ETO) processes. This role requires deep functional and technical expertise in SAP SD and integrated platforms, combined with leadership in solution design, process standardization, and large-scale ERP implementations. You will help shape the transformation roadmap, ensure alignment with business objectives, and deliver scalable, efficient solutions leveraging SAP S/4HANA and integrations with third-party systems. Experience with related manufacturing models such as Make-to-Order (MTO), Configure-to-Order (CTO), and Make-to-Stock (MTS) is a plus, but ETO expertise is critical and mandatory for this position."
That's the About the role.
Principal Duties & Responsibilities list:
- Serve as the functional lead providing technical and process expertise, with a strong emphasis on ETO workflows, driving solution and process standardization across SAP SD and integrated platforms.
- Partner with Product Owners and Managers to define scope, confirm required customizations, and identify value drivers; advise on design decisions and ensure alignment with business objectives, particularly for complex ETO scenarios.
- Collaborate with Solution Architects and technical teams to shape the Solution Roadmap and Architecture Runway, ensuring integration with Finance, Logistics, Project Systems (including ETO), Supply Chain, and third-party systems.
- Lead and support Agile delivery teams through sprint planning, execution, and backlog management; ensure timely delivery of user stories and resolution of defects, with special attention to ETO-specific requirements.
- Oversee development, testing, and end-to-end process validation; define test scope and ensure coverage for ETO-driven manufacturing scenarios, including custom engineering and project-based production.
- Drive risk mitigation, clear impediments, and provide guidance to maintain alignment with program vision and standards.
- Coordinate cross-functional activities including stakeholder engagement, change management, and execution of comprehensive cutover plans for business and technical readiness.
- Promote innovation and problem-solving to minimize customizations while meeting user needs; foster collaboration and continuous improvement across distributed teams.
- Actively participate in program ceremonies such as PI Planning and backlog grooming to maintain transparency and alignment.
Requirements / Qualifications:
Education & Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
- Minimum 8 years as a technology/functional consultant in SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), Pricing & Contracts, and Logistics Execution.
- Proven leadership in multiple complex ERP implementation projects and large-scale business transformation programs leveraging SAP technologies, including at least one full end-to-end SAP S/4HANA implementation in a discrete manufacturing environment.
- Mandatory hands-on experience with Engineered-to-Order (ETO) processes in discrete manufacturing, including solution design and execution for highly customized, project-based production.
- Experience with related manufacturing models such as Make-to-Order (MTO), Configure-to-Order (CTO), and Make-to-Stock (MTS) is a plus.
Technical Expertise:
- Strong knowledge of order management in Sales and Distribution and SAP project execution capabilities, including industry-leading practices and technologies for ETO environments.
- Multi-platform experience with SAP SD/OTC capabilities and integrations with Finance, Logistics, Project System (PS)—including complex ETO—and Supply Chain Management.
- Hands-on SAP S/4HANA experience; capable of designing, building, and implementing solutions for ETO scenarios.
- Experience designing and developing integrations using SAP PI, SAP PO, SAP CPI, MuleSoft, and other middleware tools for third-party system connectivity.
- Ability to provide configuration and analysis support for SAP Variant Configuration (VC) module, including classes, characteristics, tables, dependencies, profiles, and super BOMs/Routings for ETO products.
- Strong knowledge of Software Development Lifecycle and SAP implementation methodologies.
- Understanding of Agile principles and frameworks (Scrum and/or Kanban); SAFe experience highly desired.
Core Competencies:
- Strong planning, organization, and prioritization skills with ability to manage large work efforts and coordinate distributed teams.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to influence and drive process standardization.

We are open to remote candidates who will travel. For this U.S. based position, the expected compensation range is $117,600 - $176,400 per year, which includes base pay and short-term incentive. The compensation range for this full-time position applies to candidates located within the United States. Our salary ranges are determined by reviewing roles of similar responsibility and level. Within the salary range, individual pay is determined by several factors including performance, knowledge, job‑related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Schneider Electric also offers a comprehensive benefits package to support our employees, inclusive of medical (with member reward points), dental, vision, and basic life insurance, Benefit Bucks (credits to apply towards your benefits) flexible work arrangements, paid family leaves, 401(k) + match, well-being and recognition (including service anniversary) programs, 12 holidays per year, 15 days of paid time off per year (pro-rated in the first year of employment based on start date), opportunity to purchase company stock (eligibility depends on start date), and military leave benefits.
We need to remove application instructions: "You must submit an online application..." etc. Also remove the compliance form lines.
We need to include sections only if real content.
Thus sections:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
maybe combine Education & Experience, Technical Expertise, Core Competencies. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications but we can just have Requirements section containing all. Or we could have Qualifications separate but they'd be similar. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate if content distinct. But we have Education & Experience (qualifications), Technical Expertise (skills), Core Competencies (skills). Might be better to have Requirements (Education & Experience), Qualifications (Technical Expertise), Skills (Core Competencies). However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into Requirements (including education, experience, technical expertise) and Skills (core competencies). Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications combined. Let's decide: We'll have:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (Education & Experience + Technical Expertise)
- Skills (Core Competencies)
- Benefits
- Pay
No Schedule.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now craft HTML.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's write About the role paragraph exactly as given.
