• Ask targeted questions to understand current processes, business requirements, exceptions, pain points, and integration dependencies.

• Document AS-IS and TO-BE processes, identify gaps, and recommend solutions aligned with standard S/4HANA functionality and clean-core principles.

• Own functional design decisions, explain options and tradeoffs, and secure alignment with business stakeholders.

• Configure end-to-end SD processes, including sales orders, pricing and condition technique, delivery, billing, returns, intercompany, third-party, and consignment.

• Define integration requirements across SD, FI, MM, PP, and external applications.

• Write functional specifications for reports, interfaces, conversions, enhancements, and forms; partner with ABAP, integration, and Fiori teams through delivery.

• Support manufacturing EDI/IDoc interfaces, including ORDERS, ORDRSP, DESADV, and INVOIC.

• Lead SD functional testing and support SIT, UAT, defect resolution, and business acceptance.

• Support cutover planning, go-live readiness, user knowledge transfer, and post-go-live issue resolution.

• Troubleshoot complex OTC issues and address underlying process or configuration problems.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of hands-on SAP SD/OTC functional consulting experience.

• Experience personally leading the SD/OTC workstream through at least one full-cycle S/4HANA implementation or rollout, including requirements, solution design, configuration, testing, and go-live.

• Demonstrated ability to independently lead business workshops and turn requirements into detailed functional solutions.

• Strong hands-on configuration experience across sales order management, pricing, delivery, billing, and output determination.

• Ability to explain specific solution decisions you owned, the business requirements behind them, and the resulting outcomes.

• Strong understanding of SD integration with FI, MM, and PP.

• Experience with EDI/IDoc integrations in a manufacturing environment.

• Experience writing functional specifications and guiding technical teams through development and testing.

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain SAP processes and recommendations to business users and technical teams.
