Joliet, IL (5 days on-site)
About the Role Hyundai Translead is looking for an experienced SAP PP/MM professional to run the manufacturing and supply chain systems behind our plant operations, including our new Joliet, IL plant. You'll implement, maintain, and support our Production Planning and Materials Management landscape across SAP ECC and S/4HANA. You'll work closely with plant operations, supply chain, and finance, and with our Korea HQ and America teams, to keep production running smoothly. If you enjoy working where manufacturing meets technology and like solving complex problems that affect the shop floor, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Deliver SAP solutions using standard PP/MM functionality and Custom Business Objects (CBO) programs to support plant operations.
- Lead Repetitive Manufacturing (REM) design, configuration, and support. This covers REM profiles, run schedules, planning, backflushing, reporting points, pull lists, and postprocessing.
- Manage production planning across material master, BOMs, routings, work centers, production versions, MRP, demand management, and capacity planning.
- Support procurement and inventory, including purchase requisitions, purchase orders, release strategies, source lists, info records, goods movements, stock transfers, subcontracting, and physical inventory.
- Make sure integration works end to end between PP/MM and FI/CO, SD, QM, and WM/EWM, including product cost collectors and period-end activities in partnership with Controlling.

- Find root causes of persistent or complex SAP application issues and fix them, with special focus on production-critical incidents.
- Collaborate globally with Hyundai AutoEver Korea and America teams to agree on solutions and best practices.
Scope & Impact
- Decision-Making: You'll take on complex issues that require careful evaluation of many factors. You'll use sound judgment to choose methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria, and you'll build relationships with key contacts outside your own area of expertise.
- Ownership: You'll escalate carefully when a business need is outside the scope of the role, so that nothing gets missed.
- Strategy: You'll decide on methods and procedures for new assignments and may coordinate the work of other team members.

- 2+ full life-cycle SAP project implementations, ideally including at least one S/4HANA implementation or migration.

- Experience in automotive, trailer, or discrete/repetitive manufacturing is a strong plus.

- Repetitive Manufacturing (REM) (Required): REM profiles, run schedules, backflushing, reporting point confirmations, product cost collectors, and REM period-end processing.
- Production Planning (PP): Material master, BOMs, routings, work centers, production versions, MRP (including MRP Live in S/4HANA), demand management, and capacity planning.
- Materials Management (MM): Purchasing, release strategies, source determination, inventory management, subcontracting, consignment, stock transport orders, and Logistics Invoice Verification.

- Business Acumen: Ability to turn plant and supply chain needs into clear functional requirements and specifications.
- Technical Depth: Comfortable working with ABAP developers on RICEF objects and reviewing existing custom code to decide how objects should be enhanced.
- Preferred: Kanban, MES integration, SAP Fiori apps, and S/4HANA simplifications for PP/MM.
