SCO/SCI Solution Architect - SAP Supply Chain

Description

Join the discovery phase of a strategic supply chain transformation programme for a global FMCG client. The programme focuses on integrating and consolidating the Order-to-Cash processes and supply chain system landscapes of two organizations. The discovery team will define the target architecture, identify key dependencies, and prepare the roadmap for a wider transformation involving OMS, TMS, SAP ERP/S/4HANA, 3PL partners, and 10+ warehouse management systems.

Your Role

Take ownership of the end-to-end supply chain process and solution architecture, covering the flow from order capture through fulfilment, warehousing, transportation, and final delivery.

Responsibilities

• Analyse the existing supply chain processes and system landscapes of both organizations.
• Design the target end-to-end flow from order capture through fulfilment and delivery.
• Define the functional relationships between OMS, TMS, SAP ERP/S/4HANA, WMS solutions, carriers, and 3PL partners.
• Ensure consistency between business processes, system architecture, and integration requirements.
• Assess opportunities to standardize and consolidate processes across both organizations.
• Identify functional gaps, dependencies, risks, and key architectural decisions.
• Define architecture principles and support the preparation of target operating scenarios.
• Lead or support discovery sessions and cross-functional architecture workshops.
• Evaluate solution options and prepare clear recommendations for business and technology stakeholders.
• Contribute to the programme roadmap, critical path, and implementation approach.
• Work closely with the OMS/TMS Solution Architect, Integration Architect, SAP teams, and business process owners.

Requirements

• Senior Solution Architect with strong experience in SAP Supply Chain and Order-to-Cash.
• Broad understanding of order management, order fulfilment, warehouse operations, transportation, and 3PL processes.
• Experience designing end-to-end solutions across SAP SD, MM, EWM/WM, TM, or related logistics domains.
• Practical knowledge of integration between SAP ERP/S/4HANA and external OMS, TMS, or WMS platforms.
• Experience working on large international transformation, rollout, or consolidation programmes.
• Ability to assess complex landscapes and translate business needs into scalable target solutions.
• Experience leading discovery sessions, fit-gap workshops, and architecture discussions.
• Ability to identify cross-system dependencies, risks, and critical design decisions.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Fluent English.

The role requires a broad, process-oriented architect rather than a specialist focused on one SAP module only. The successful candidate should understand how decisions in order management, warehousing, and transportation affect the complete Order-to-Cash process.

Nice to Have

• Experience with SAP S/4HANA, SAP EWM, SAP TM, SAP IBP, or SAP BTP.
• Experience integrating external WMS solutions and 3PL operators with SAP.
• Knowledge of OMS or distributed order management solutions.
• Experience with carrier collaboration, transportation planning, and shipment visibility.
• Background in FMCG, consumer goods, retail, manufacturing, or distribution.
• Experience in system and process consolidation following a merger or acquisition.
• Experience defining global templates and multi-country rollout roadmaps.
