Job Description:

Fluence is seeking an experienced SAP Supply Chain Solution Architect to lead the design and evolution of our global SAP S/4HANA supply chain platform.

This role is responsible for defining end-to-end supply chain solutions across planning, procurement, manufacturing readiness, logistics, fulfillment, and finance integration, ensuring seamless alignment across SAP and connected enterprise systems.

The ideal candidate combines strong end-to-end SAP supply chain architecture experience with broad knowledge of SAP S/4HANA business processes, cross-functional integration, and scalable solution design. This role is primarily focused on enterprise supply chain architecture across the full operating model, rather than a single SAP functional specialty.

It is critical to building a scalable, globally integrated supply chain platform that can support Fluence’s growth, evolving operating model, external manufacturing partnerships, and future operational capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

Solution Architecture, Design Leadership & Delivery Support

• Lead end-to-end solution architecture across SAP supply chain processes, including Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Cost.
• Translate business requirements into scalable, standardized, and supportable SAP solution designs.

• Lead design workshops and guide architecture decisions across business stakeholders, IT teams, and external partners.
• Drive fit-to-standard adoption while supporting global business requirements.
• Evaluate solution trade-offs, dependencies, and downstream impacts across business processes, systems, and data.
• Provide architectural guidance to delivery teams through design, build, test, deployment, and stabilization.
• Review functional specifications, integration designs, and key configuration decisions for architectural alignment.

Cross-Functional Integration

• Define integration across SAP modules, including PP, MM, SD, QM, FI/CO, and related master data.
• Support multi-entity, multi-plant, intercompany, external manufacturing, and partner integration scenarios.
• Ensure upstream and downstream impacts are understood before solution decisions are finalized.

Roadmap & Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to the SAP supply chain technology roadmap.
• Support adoption of advanced SAP capabilities such as IBP integration, aATP, external manufacturing integration, advanced fulfillment, automation, and analytics.
• Identify opportunities to improve planning, execution, data quality, process consistency, and operational visibility.
• Help establish scalable design patterns and governance practices for future SAP supply chain enhancements.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as a trusted advisor to Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering, Finance, Logistics, and IT stakeholders.
• Influence decisions and communicate effectively with both business and technical stakeholders.
• Partner effectively with global teams, offshore delivery resources, and external implementation partners.
• Communicate complex SAP design topics clearly and pragmatically to non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Business, or a related field.
• 10+ years of SAP experience across supply chain, procurement, logistics, fulfillment, planning, manufacturing, or related enterprise business processes.
• Proven experience designing end-to-end SAP supply chain architectures across multiple functional areas.
• Strong understanding of cross-functional integration across SAP modules such as PP, MM, SD, QM, and FI/CO.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA supply chain solution design.
• Experience supporting complex global environments, including multi-plant, multi-entity, intercompany, external manufacturing, or partner integration scenarios.
• Ability to translate business requirements into scalable, standardized, and supportable SAP solution designs.
• Experience working with global teams and external delivery partners.
• Strong analytical, stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills.

• Experience with SAP Production Planning, including MRP, BOMs, routings, production master data, or manufacturing execution integration.
• Experience with PLM integration and engineering change processes.
• Experience with Configure-to-Order, intercompany, and multi-plant scenarios.
• Exposure to advanced intercompany processing and advanced STO scenarios.
• Exposure to SAP aATP or advanced fulfillment capabilities.
