Full Job Description

You are:
A skillful advisor. You know how to make the supply chain work for clients, society, and our planet – ensuring input products and services are received responsibly without interruption. And, what’s more - you’ve got the real-life experience and analytical know-how to reduce complexity, optimize risk exposure/resiliency, and increase long-term profitability. You have energy and drive, along with personal resilience, a passion for serving clients, and a love of continual learning. You have a flair for breaking down challenges into logical issues and constructing clear reasoning and root-cause analysis — an aptitude you use to solve problems. You have both communication and people skills, and as a team leader, you’re a natural at appreciating diverse perspectives and bringing out the best in teams.

 

The work:

  • Own the full arc from business case to production: understand the client's operating model, identify the process friction and system interdependencies that block value, and build AI solutions that eliminate them — across ERP (SAP, Oracle), SCM platforms (Kinaxis, O9, Blue Yonder, Ariba), MES, and planning layers
  • Lead cross-domain AI deployments at the functional interfaces — where planning, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and engineering intersect — resolving the interdependencies that single-domain implementations miss
  • Drive rapid experimentation from ambiguous business problem to working production system in days or weeks, grounded in deep knowledge of how supply chain and ERP transformations actually behave post-go-live
  • Architect agentic solutions (agents, RAG, orchestration, multi-system workflow integration) that operate across the full enterprise stack: identity, data, governance, platform, and process layer
  • Shape AI reinvention strategy with client CTO, CFO, and CISO — translating process and operating model complexity into fundable value architecture, ROI backlogs, and multi-year adoption roadmaps
  • Define reusable reinvention blueprints and patterns — grounded in real deployment learnings — that scale across engagements and build the FDE practice

 

Travel Requirements:

  • Travel is required for this role and could vary up to 75%

Here’s what you need: 

  • Minimum 5 years of engineering experience with deep hands-on knowledge of enterprise SCM or ERP platform transformations (SAP, Oracle, Kinaxis, O9, Blue Yonder, or equivalent) including what breaks after go-live
  • Minimum 1 year designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in production environments (agents, orchestration, RAG, context engineering)
  • Minimum 2 years working with AI platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vertex AI, or open source) including multi-provider pipeline architecture
  • Deep design experience and fluency across one or several cross-domain processes including Idea to Retire, Source-to-Pay, Plan-to-Produce, Order-to-Cash, and Plan-to-Deliver with the ability to map how these processes intersect, where friction compounds, and how operating model gaps amplify system limitations.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If associate degree, must have a minimum of 6 years’ work experience)

 

Bonus points if:

  • Demonstrated ability to bridge strategy, operating model design, and business case development with executable AI architecture
  • Experience leading engineering teams through delivery in client-embedded environments, with accountability for commercial outcomes — not just delivery milestones
  • Credibility with CTO, CFO, and CSCO: you communicate deployment risk, operating model implications, and ROI in their language
  • Full enterprise AI architecture across complex multi-stakeholder environments
  • Multi-platform expertise/knowledge (at least two platforms)
  • Value architecture at program scale identifies high-value use cases, quantifies ROI, aligns technical decisions to commercial outcomes
  • Shapes reinvention blueprints and reusable patterns that scale across multiple client engagements
  • Leads rapid experimentation at pace: ambiguous problems to working production system in days or weeks"
  • "High-level Thinking: Shapes reinvention strategy across client engagements, not just delivery execution. Identifies high-value use cases at program scale. Builds ROI backlogs and AI adoption roadmaps that align to commercial outcomes.
