Job description

Job Description
Reporting to the Vice President, Delivery, the SAP Supply Chain Domain Architect is Talan’s functional authority for supply chain planning and execution processes across multiple clients and engagements. The role covers demand and supply planning in SAP IBP, order to cash, sourcing and procurement, inventory, warehousing, logistics, and the connection between planning and manufacturing.
You step in when decisions require a deep understanding of how SAP works and of end-to-end process handoffs. Working with Sales, solution, and delivery teams, you shape solutions, approve functional designs, arbitrate gaps against standard, and safeguard the coherence of planning, master data, inventory, and logistics execution.
Your mission consists of:

• Consultative intelligence
• Provide the deep functional expertise required to shape solutions by distinguishing standard capabilities, genuine gaps, and the choice among configuration, extension, or process change.

• Lead Supply Chain workstreams in digital discovery and readiness assessments, then present recommendations, estimates, assumptions, and trade-offs in workshops, proposals, and oral presentations.

• Assess the end-to-end implications of planning and execution choices for availability, inventory, customer promise, procurement, warehousing, transport, and manufacturing.

• Technical and functional expertise
• Define and uphold the functional architecture for the domain, including SAP IBP, order to cash, sourcing and procurement, inventory management, SAP EWM, SAP TM touchpoints, and the planning-to-production connection.

• Configure and prototype complex scenarios when design decisions cannot be settled on paper, then confirm the end-to-end behaviour of master data and process handoffs.

• Guide decisions involving demand planning, response and supply, inventory optimization, S&OP, advanced ATP, pricing, rebates, and condition contract management.

• Problem solving and analytical thinking
• Review and approve functional designs, specifications for reports, interfaces, enhancements, forms, and workflows, and the domain’s critical test strategies and scripts.

• Support defect analysis during system integration, user acceptance, and regression testing, then resolve domain escalations through cutover, hypercare, and transition into AMS.

• Guide data migration and cutover decisions, with particular attention to master data and the quality thresholds that determine the reliability of planning and execution results.

• Leadership, vision and initiative
• Act as the Supply Chain design authority across multiple concurrent engagements and serve as the quality gate before deliverables reach clients.

• Coach functional consultants through design reviews, contribute to interviews and onboarding, and identify the capabilities the practice must develop, train, or hire.

• Track the SAP roadmap for the domain and brief the practice on changes that affect the standard approach, clean core, and cloud solutions.

• Knowledge sharing
• Create and maintain reusable process models, configuration accelerators, demo environments and scripts, guides, and design patterns for presales and delivery.

• Capture engagement lessons and patterns in practice intellectual property and contribute domain content to AI-enabled delivery tools and the internal knowledge base.
