Digital Supply Chain Business Support Lead

You have the opportunity to join our team and tackle business challenges in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment characterized by close collaboration with business stakeholders.

As a Digital Supply Chain Business Support Lead, you will make sure the transportation and supply chain teams of a global market leader in chemical and ingredients distribution are supported in planning, executing and delivering their supply chain activities. The company is building a modular digital architecture for its supply chain: an ERP landscape plus best-of-breed supply chain solutions for visibility, transportation management, warehouse management, yard management, supply chain planning and a supply chain control tower.

You will work with solution and technical architects, consultants and external partners to configure approved solution designs, lead build and test strategies for the Transportation Management System (TMS), guide go-lives and hypercare, and translate local requirements into a global end-state design — implementing templates that enable deployments at speed and scale.

Your Role and Responsibilities:

• Solution Design & Configuration: Work with the Solution/Technical Architect and consultants to configure the approved solution design. Manage design strategy and parameter files covering optimization and business requirements with external partners, and own the business TMS configuration templates.
• Build, Test & Go-Live: Manage the build and test strategy, test-driven developments and end-to-end testing across SIT, UAT and business validation, and lead go-live and hypercare.
• Functional Leadership: Run analysis and design workshops, provide hands-on functional support across project phases, and advise on master data requirements for supply chain modules, transport optimization, freight consolidation, routing, distribution, tracking and last-mile management.
• Business Alignment: Work with local business owners and partners to translate local requirements into the end-state design, propose short-term solutions for legacy systems, and make sure designs meet business, compliance, security and master data requirements and deliver measurable business value.

Your Skills and Experiences:

• Solid professional experience with ERP, TMS and other supply chain modules, with a track record of system roll-outs, maintenance and production support.
• Experience in solution architecture.
• Experience working with third-party logistics providers (3PL).
• Experience with middleware integration (such as SAP Cloud Integration or SAP Data Integration, with AWS hosting), APIs, EDI and data streaming, and the ability to articulate technical requirements for connectivity and interfaces.
• Good experience with master data management governance and translating master data requirements for upstream and downstream supply chain systems.
• Good understanding of BI tools such as Power BI or Looker.
• Business process analysis and integration knowledge across SAP modules (such as SD, PP, QM, PLM, PS, CS) and logistics areas such as Extended Warehouse Management, Handling Unit Management, Inventory Management and Material Requirements Planning.
• Clear thinker who connects system, data and process flows and identifies business impacts and risks; strong analytical, problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills.
• Strong execution track record, self-starter, organized and collaborative, with experience in agile methodology and ITIL service operations.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, IT, Operations or related industry experience.
• Experience in the distribution industry is a plus.
• Fluency in English (spoken and written) is essential; German is a plus.
