In this role, you will be hands-on in executing our digital transformation from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, ensuring that planned end-to-end implementation results are fully realised across our aviation engine manufacturing, maintenance, and design operations. Acting as a strategic functional advisor and configuration expert, you will implement a "Clean Core" architecture by driving Fit-to-Standard workshops, establishing robust inventory architectures, and deploying standard procurement solutions while ensuring strict compliance with industry regulations., Architecture & Transition Strategy Business Advisory: Act as the trusted advisor to senior leadership to map high-level aviation sourcing and procurement goals into scalable SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement blueprints. Coexistence Support: Design temporary operational workarounds and data bridging strategies to maintain material flow continuity during phased SAP ECC to S/4HANA rollouts. Landscape Strategy: Evaluate Legacy customization within SAP ECC and establish a roadmap to transition towards standard S/4HANA Materials Management and Sourcing functionalities. Technical Execution & Governance Expert Configuration: Execute hands-on configuration of complex SAP MM modules including Organizational Structures (Plants, Storage Locations, Purchasing Orgs), Material Master, Business Partner (Vendor Master), and Source Lists. Workshop Facilitation: Lead and facilitate end-to-end blueprinting, scoping, and Fit-to-Standard workshops with cross-functional supply chain, procurement, and logistics teams. Value Realization: Own the functional delivery life cycle to ensure that planned operational efficiencies, inventory optimizations, and cost savings are fully realised. Functional & System Alignment Execution & Planning: Architect and configure the end-to-end processing of the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) cycle, including Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders, Goods Movements (MIGO), and Logistics Invoice Verification (MIRO). Inventory & Rotable Management: Define and build complex inventory strategies, leveraging standard SAP MM configurations to manage rotable engine components, pool assets, and high-value serialized spares. Process Integration: Align SAP MM configuration closely with Warehouse Management (WM/Embedded EWM) for optimised material flow, Plant Maintenance (PM) for MRO material staging, Production Planning (PP) for material requirements planning (MRP), and Finance/Conting (FI/CO) for product costing and inventory valuation. Automation & Robotics: Collaborate with automation leads to integrate SAP WM/EWM via standard Task and Resource Management (TRM) or Material Flow Systems (MFS) with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and automated conveying machinery. Mobility Infrastructure: Configure, support, and extend warehouse operational workflows using standard RF scanning, mobile data entry solutions, and voice-directed picking technologies. Ecosystem Connection: Collaborate with integration teams to connect SAP MM with third-party enterprise platforms, supplier networks, and internal Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). MRO Subcontracting: Configure and optimize complex MRO subcontracting, refurbishment purchasing life cycles, and external service management (ESM) for internal and vendor-managed engine repairs. Domain & Industry Compliance Aviation Regulation: Ensure all configured procurement, goods receipt, and quality-hold processes comply fully with CAA, EASA, FAA, ITAR, and AS9100 quality and export control standards. Traceability Engineering: Establish robust configuration for serialization and Batch Management (including batch derivation and classification) to guarantee absolute data genealogy for tracked engine components from receipt to installation. Best Practices & Innovation Clean Core Implementation: Enforce the utilization of standard SAP features, standard Fiori apps, and standard APIs over custom ABAP modifications to protect the digital core. Scalable Warehousing Architecture: Architect the current inventory blueprint to ensure a seamless, non-disruptive future expansion from classic SAP WM footprints to advanced SAP S/4HANA Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). Predictive Frameworks: Advise on the adoption of modern sourcing technologies, including SAP Ariba integration, advanced MRP (Live MRP), and Real Time inventory analytics. Stakeholder Management & Leadership Technical Collaboration: Work closely with the Enterprise Architect, Data Migration Leads, and external systems integrators to align on data standards and cutover plans. Documentation: Author and maintain comprehensive Business Blueprint documents, functional configuration rationales, testing scripts (UAT/SIT), and operational training playbooks.
