Hybrid work model - Nashville, TN (preferred), [other US hubs], Monterrey or Mexico City, MX | Travel: 25-50%

Ready to help transform how a global leader in energy management buys, stores and delivers?

Schneider Electric is running a large S/4HANA transformation across our North American manufacturing and distribution sites, with major rollouts starting in 2027.

We're adding an SAP MM Functional Lead to own procure-to-pay and inventory management, help deliver site go-lives and act as the link between our business teams and our global delivery team.

This role is for an experienced SAP MM professional who has been through several go-lives and can contribute from day one.

What will you do?



* Lead the SAP MM workstream in our S/4HANA program.

You'll report to the Technical Product Manager for Planning, Procurement & Manufacturing and work day to day with Technical Product Owners.


* Design, configure and optimize procure-to-pay processes: purchase requisitions, RFQs and purchase orders (standard, subcontracting, consignment, STO), contracts, scheduling agreements, release strategies and flexible workflows.


* Own inventory management: goods receipts and issues, transfer postings, reservations, physical inventory, material valuation, split valuation and account determination.


* Connect planning to purchasing: turn MRP proposals into POs and schedule lines, and optimize lot sizes, safety stock and lead times so production has what it needs.


* Act as the onshore link with our global delivery team in Bangalore: lead business discussions with plants and distribution centers, capture actions and requirements, configure in the system and hand work off for offshore execution.


* Ensure smooth integration between MM and PP, FI/CO, SD, QM and EWM/WM, and understand how S/4HANA decisions affect external platforms (SAP Ariba, Coupa, supplier EDI, 3PL, SAP MDG).


* Drive testing: take part in integration and quality testing, usually about two months before go-live.

You'll work with business analysts and product owners, train users and resolve issues quickly.


* Deliver site deployments end to end: data migration, cutover, on-site go-live support and hypercare, typically covering 2-3 site deployments.


* Standardize, govern and automate procurement and inventory processes across sites using SAP best practices, design reviews and automation.


* Work in Agile/SAFe teams with Product Owners and business stakeholders to prioritize the roadmap, define requirements and drive adoption.
