Ensure TM integrates with SD and MM delivery processes, FI for freight accruals, settlement, and cost distribution, EWM/WM where SAP-managed warehousing exists, and external 3PL platforms via approved integration patterns
Govern transportation cost accuracy and auditability regardless of whether execution occurs internally or at partner-managed facilities
Validate TM processes against business, financial, and regulatory requirements, recommending operational or process changes where SAP standard provides superior control
Produce and maintain high-quality documentation: functional requirements and design specifications, end-to-end transportation and integration flows, configuration rationale and architectural decisions
Develop and execute test strategies, scenarios, and scripts supporting GxP / GAMP 5 / CSV validation for transportation processes impacting regulated supply chains
Act as a TM subject-matter expert during audits, cutovers, and critical production incidents
Leadership & Delivery:
Serve as functional lead for SAP TM initiatives, enhancements, and optimization workstreams within an S/4HANA Private Cloud program
Facilitate global design workshops spanning business stakeholders, integration teams, and 3PL/service partners
Mentor junior analysts and contribute to global SAP TM configuration standards, integration governance and design templates
Participate in shared on-call and critical incident response, coordinating across SAP and third-party execution partners as required
Core Competencies:
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an enterprise logistics mindset

Integration with SD, MM, EWM/WM, FI, and third-party logistics systems
Experience delivering solutions within SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud (RISE) constraints
Experience contributing to or leading SAP transformation, optimization, or global template initiatives
Experience working in Agile or SAFe delivery models
Background in regulated manufacturing or distribution environments (medical device, life sciences, or similar)
Skills :
Experience with multi-leg, multi-modal, and cross-border transportation scenarios
Carrier collaboration and freight tendering automation
High-volume 3PL integration landscapes
Familiarity with SAP-recommended integration patterns for external logistics providers
