Principal SAP Supply Chain Lead — ECC to S/4HANA Transformation

About the role

You will own a complete business outcome — a Value Stream — end-to-end on our SAP ECC core, rather than a single function. Each day, you will design, build, and run improvements that prepare the ECC landscape for its move to S/4HANA while delivering measurable value to the business today — with no hand-off to a separate support team.

Responsibilities

• Owning a Value Stream end-to-end — designing, building, and running it — and delivering a measurable business outcome, not a task list;
• Complying only with the genuinely non-negotiable (statutory, financial, and platform constraints);
• Preparing the SAP ECC core for S/4HANA — sequencing and de-risking the transition through working software, while shipping high-impact improvements to the current landscape now;
• Once S4 goes live, you stay and own support and continuous improvements to a value stream in S4;
• Operating hands-on across SAP Supply Chain & Logistics (MM, IM, PP, LE/WM), close to manufacturing and the shop floor, and bridging functional configuration with code;
• Recruiting and leading a small, senior squad (Finance, Sales / Order-to-Cash, and Developer), setting the standard for extreme ownership and AI-native ways of working.

Requirements

• A degree in engineering or a related technical field is highly preferred.
• You have substantial hands-on experience (8+ years) in SAP Supply Chain & Logistics — MM, IM, PP, and LE/WM — with genuine make- and engineer-to-order depth and comfort on the shop floor and with MES.
• You are highly skilled in SAP S/4HANA, with practical implementation experience across ECC and S/4 (Private and Public Cloud ideal), and you bridge functional configuration with code.
• You have a demonstrated track record of extreme ownership — owning a measurable outcome end to end, build and run, rather than a task list.
• You are passionate about learning and intellectually honest — comfortable with ambiguity, quick to say "I don't know" or "I was wrong," and curious enough to outpace your own defensiveness.
• You are innovative around AI-native ways of working, deploying AI and modern coding tools where they create real, measurable impact rather than novelty.
• You are at ease communicating in English, moving between an executive or financial audience and the shop floor in the same conversation.

Qualifications

• A degree in engineering or a related technical field is highly preferred.
• You hold a valid work authorization for the United States / North America.
