Do you believe reliable enterprise systems and disciplined delivery are essential to launching and expanding business operations? Establishing a plant in SAP requires coordinated configuration across Purchasing and Finance, careful management of dependencies, and close collaboration among product teams. That’s where this role makes an impact.
We are seeking an SAP Plant Setup & Deployment Project Lead to lead the enterprise-structure configuration and deployment activities needed to establish new or expanded plants in SAP S/4HANA. You’ll connect Purchasing (MM) and Finance (FI/CO) workstreams, coordinating requirements, configuration, validation, and deployment across areas such as Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Intercompany, Vehicle Accounting, and Reporting.
This role combines hands-on SAP configuration with project leadership. You’ll coordinate cross-functional teams, manage plans and dependencies using Jira and Agile practices, and support project governance, change control, cutover, and go-live activities.
SAP Plant Setup & Configuration

Configure SAP S/4HANA enterprise-structure elements, including Plants, Purchasing Organizations, and Storage Locations.
Maintain assignments between plants and relevant organizational units, including Company Codes and Sales Organizations.
Perform plant-related Purchasing configuration, including Purchasing Organization assignments and plant-specific procurement settings.
Coordinate vendor master extension activities related to plant setup.
Gather plant-specific requirements from product teams before configuration begins.
Complete configuration accurately and on schedule so product teams can proceed with validation and testing.
Hand off completed configuration to product teams with clear documentation and support their testing and sign-off.
Troubleshoot configuration issues identified during validation and testing.

Finance Workstream Coordination

Coordinate plant-related Finance configuration across relevant product areas, including:
Accounts Payable: Support plant-level requirements for vendor invoice and payment processing.
General Ledger: Coordinate valuation-area and account-determination setup.
Intercompany: Enable cross-plant and cross-company-code transaction processing.
Vehicle Accounting: Support plant-level vehicle inventory valuation and related accounting structures.
Reporting: Ensure plant setup supports downstream financial and management reporting.
Coordinate activities and dependencies across Finance and Purchasing product teams.
Track decisions, risks, issues, and handoffs to support complete and consistent plant deployment.

Project & Program Management

Develop and manage plant setup plans, milestones, dependencies, and timelines across parallel workstreams.
Use Jira to maintain project backlogs, track issues and dependencies, support sprint planning, and communicate delivery progress.
Apply Agile practices to coordinate cross-functional teams, manage sprint commitments, and address delivery impediments.
Lead collaboration among SAP product teams, business stakeholders, technical teams, and deployment partners.
Coordinate change-management activities, including impact assessment, approvals, stakeholder communication, and implementation tracking.
Support cutover and go-live planning, including transport coordination and sequencing configuration across dependent products.

Governance, Documentation & Continuous Improvement

Support project governance through status reporting, steering committee updates, RAID logs, and change-control processes.
Maintain configuration documentation, plant setup checklists, project trackers, and delivery records across involved product areas.
Ensure configuration decisions, dependencies, risks, and handoffs are documented and communicated.
Identify opportunities to improve plant setup, deployment, and governance processes.
