Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Production Planning & Subcontracting Analyst to own and advance production planning, subcontract planning, and supplier collaboration capabilities within our global SAP S/4HANA landscape. With our multi-wave ERP deployment complete, the focus shifts to sustaining, standardizing, and continuously improving the solution — while supporting new deployment activity as standalone legacy applications are migrated onto the consolidated ERP. The emphasis is production planning and detailed scheduling in SAP PP/DS, with secondary responsibility for subcontract planning and supplier collaboration through SAP Ariba Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC).
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable sitting with a production planner to troubleshoot a planning heuristic and working with a subcontractor's planner to resolve a purchase order confirmation in the Ariba network.
Key Responsibilities
- Production Planning (primary) Serve as the business process and technical subject matter expert for the production planning and subcontract planning scope of the global Plan process.
- Provide functional expertise and day-to-day support for SAP PP/DS — planning heuristics, detailed scheduling, capacity leveling, MRP areas, planning strategies, and PP/DS-to-S/4 integration.
- Own planning-relevant master data standards (resources, routings/PDS, lot sizing, scheduling parameters, planning time fence) and drive data quality remediation with sites.
- Investigate and resolve planning defects, distinguishing master data issues, process adherence gaps, and true system defects.
- Support functional design that complements the technical capabilities of the system, including specification writing, configuration, and development testing.
- Support prepare, activate, and deploy activities for new sites, product transfers, acquisitions, and migrations of standalone legacy applications onto the consolidated ERP.
- Support go-live, hypercare, and stabilization, including on-site support where required.
- Partner with the supply planning and IBP teams to ensure clean handoff of demand into the production planning horizon.
- Subcontracting (secondary) Support subcontract planning end to end: subcontracting requisitions and purchase orders, component provisioning and consumption, and third-party manufacturing visibility.
- Facilitate onboarding and enablement of new subcontractors onto the Ariba network, including supplier training and cutover coordination.
- Cross-cutting Drive global standardization of planning processes and alignment to standard ERP functionality, resisting site-level divergence where a global template solution exists.
- Collaborate across planning, procurement, manufacturing, master data, and IT to keep business process and system design aligned.
- Support unit, integration, regression, and user acceptance testing.
- Maintain process documentation, work instructions, and training materials.
- Drive continuous improvement, including enhancement intake, prioritization, and benefit validation.
- Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Information Systems, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 2+ years of experience in SAP production planning, supply chain, or procurement in a manufacturing environment.
- Strong working knowledge of subcontracting in SAP, including component provisioning and settlement.
- Hands-on functional experience with SAP PP/DS (or APO PP-DS) — planning runs, detailed scheduling, and exception management.
- Demonstrated experience deploying or supporting SAP S/4HANA in a manufacturing environment, including testing and cutover activities.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to trace an issue from a symptom on the plant floor to a root cause in configuration or master data.
- Excellent communication skills, working across functions, across regions, and directly with external supplier partners.
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on experience with SAP Ariba Supply Chain Collaboration, including supplier enablement and collaboration document flows.
- Familiarity with integration technologies (CIG, CPI, EDI, or APIs) and the ability to read integration logs to isolate a failure point.
- Experience with SAP IBP, demand planning, or the demand-to-supply handoff.
- Experience migrating standalone or legacy planning applications onto a consolidated ERP platform.
- Experience supporting global deployments and multi-region supplier networks.
