About the role

This is a dual-mandate role: the Senior Manager, SAP SCM operates simultaneously as the Enterprise Solution Architect for Curtiss-Wright’s SAP Supply Chain Management portfolio — Production Planning, Manufacturing, Quality Management, Warehouse Management, and Shop Floor Control, and its integration with Engineering and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) — and as the People Manager for the SAP SCM functional team.

  • Guide implementation of SAP SCM projects from requirements through go-live, in coordination with Application Management Services (AMS) support processes.
    • Establish and track delivery metrics (e.g., ticket resolution time, project on-time rate, system uptime) and report status to IT and business leadership.
  • Manage relationships with implementation partners and AMS vendors supporting the SCM functional area.
• Manage the SAP SCM functional team: hiring, onboarding, development planning, and annual performance evaluations.
  • Set team priorities and workload to drive efficiency, productivity, and on-time delivery of business value.
• Coach team members on both technical depth and stakeholder-facing skills.
  • Own team capacity planning and staffing recommendations, feeding directly into the resource planning process.

• Including at least 10+ years of that overall experience spent hands-on with SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) processes, configuration, and best practices.
  • Including at least 10+ years of that overall experience spent integrating SAP with non-SAP systems (e.g., Ariba, Concur, Workday).
• 7+ years of direct people-management experience leading a technical or functional team, including hiring, performance management, and development planning.

Qualifications
