Fremont, CA – Onsite 3 days a week,
The resource will be responsible for providing solution architecture and functional leadership for Material Master across the enterprise. The person must understand how Material Master impacts end-to-end business processes and be able to assess the downstream impact of any business, process, data-model, or system change.
This is primarily an architecture and solution-design role, not a data migration or pure SAP MDG role.
Key Responsibilities

* Finance and other downstream processes
* Analyze new business requirements and immediately determine:
* What changes are required to Material Master.
* Which business processes will be impacted.
* Which applications/interfaces will be affected.
* What downstream dependencies exist.
* What architectural changes are required.
* Define and evaluate Material Master data models, processes, integrations, and interfaces.
* Assess the enterprise-wide impact before approving or recommending architectural changes.
* Understand Material Master integration with PLM systems, particularly Teamcenter or similar PLM platforms.
* Understand how Material Master data flows from PLM → SAP S/4HANA.
* Analyze integration architecture, interfaces, data flows, and potential challenges between PLM and SAP.
* Work with SAP, PLM, business, integration, and application teams to identify the appropriate solution.
* Provide architectural guidance and best-practice recommendations to business and technical teams.
* Support implementation teams by translating business requirements into practical SAP Material Master solutions.
* Help establish and standardize Material Master governance and operating processes as part of the centralized data organization.
