• You’ll oversee end-to-end delivery across SAP S/4HANA, EWM, SD, MM, 3PL integrations, warehouse automation, and transportation solutions.
• You’ll translate logistics and business requirements into scalable technical solutions while aligning stakeholders on priorities, scope, and outcomes.
• You’ll lead and develop teams while managing relationships with vendors, implementation partners, technical specialists, and senior business stakeholders.
• You’ll drive continuous improvement across system performance, automation, adoption, testing, release readiness, and business value realization.
Skills and Qualifications
