What is the ideal background of a candidate for this role?:
Domain technical fluency: Hands-on experience with SAP Ariba (SCC/Sourcing/Contracts), S/4HANA (MM/logistics modules), and SAP EPPM, paired with working knowledge of integration architecture (middleware, APIs, IDocs) — enough to bridge conversations between business stakeholders and developers without needing deep coding skills.
Program/project management chops: Proven track record managing complex, multi-team technology programs (Agile or hybrid delivery), including sprint/roadmap planning, RAID log ownership, defect/UAT tracking, and steering committee reporting — ideally within supply chain, procurement, or data center/infrastructure environments.
Stakeholder and vendor management: Strong experience coordinating across cross-functional teams (procurement, logistics, site ops, IT/dev teams) and external vendors/OEMs, with the communication skills
to translate technical issues into business impact and drive alignment on priorities, timelines, and risk mitigation.
Top 3 Must-Have HARD Skills & years of experience for each:
5 years managing SAP-related technology programs, including at least 2-3 full implementation or major enhancement cycles (requirements through go-live/hypercare).
Should include direct experience managing integration-heavy programs (not just single-module rollouts).
3-5 years working specifically with Ariba modules
Either as a functional lead or program manager overseeing Ariba workstreams with hands-on understanding of supplier onboarding, sourcing events, contract workflows, and Ariba-to-S4 integration touchpoints (CIG, PI/PO, or similar middleware).
5 years in supply chain, procurement, or logistics program delivery, with direct exposure to how digital systems support physical operations (inventory, vendor management, PO-to-delivery cycles). Data center, construction, or capital equipment supply chain experience is a strong differentiator given the physical/digital dependency in this domain.
