• Strong business process analysis and management skills applied across discrete manufacturing supply chains, including demand planning, S&OP, response and supply, or production planning

• Strategic thinking and experience in scenario testing to evaluate planning options and guide customers through complex design decisions
• A degree in business informatics, industrial engineering, supply chain management, or a related field, or equivalent experience

In addition to the skills and experience specific to this role, all positions at SAP require candidates who are comfortable using AI tools — including agentic AI — in their day-to-day work, from crafting effective inputs and automating routine tasks, to evaluating AI-generated outputs for quality and driving adoption of AI practices within their teams.

You will lead supply chain planning implementations for discrete manufacturing customers — from solution architecture to go-live — as a trusted advisor across the project lifecycle.

• Lead end-to-end implementations, from solution architecture and process design to productive go-live
• Design and deliver Agentic AI use cases that operationalise the Autonomous Enterprise vision in supply chain
• Facilitate workshops and steering committees with process owners and C-level decision makers
• Drive project and change management to ensure sustainable solution adoption
