Senior Supply Chain Systems SME

Must-Have Experience

• 4 years of experience in supply chain planning (supply planning, S&OP, or procurement) in a manufacturing environment
• Hands-on experience with Kinaxis (Maestro/RapidResponse) — ideally implementation experience
• Strong understanding of supply planning processes (not just systems)
• Experience working with ERP systems (SAP ECC, S/4, or similar) and understanding data flows
• Experience working on Agile projects (sprints, user stories, playback sessions)

Technical & Functional Skills

• Ability to understand and troubleshoot data pipelines (ERP → transformation layer → Kinaxis)
• Experience supporting system testing (UAT, SIT) and defect resolution
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to bridge business and technical teams

Nice to Have

• Kinaxis configuration or architect-level experience
• API or data integration experience
• SQL, Python, or other scripting tools
• Experience with data governance or data lakes
• Exposure to AI/ML or automation in planning systems

About the Role

Insight Global is seeking an individual to join an Optical Communications division that is in the middle of a multi-year transformation, implementing Kinaxis Maestro to modernize global supply planning.

This is a hands-on Systems SME role focused on the end-to-end Kinaxis implementation, working across data, planning, and system configuration. You’ll partner with supply chain, IT, and functional leaders to ensure the system is built, tested, and optimized to support real-world planning operations.

This is not a pure data role — we’re looking for someone who understands how supply planning actually works (S&OP / supply planning processes) and how systems should support it.
