• Partner with USTRANSCOM trade compliance, security, and operations stakeholders to translate international movement and export-control requirements into GTS configuration and master data design.
• Coordinate with the SAP MM, SD, and Transportation Management functional teams to design integration points between GTS and the broader S/4HANA landscape.
• Configure SAP RBAC and ABAC controls so that export-controlled data (ITAR, EAR, UK MOD) is handled per program access restrictions.
• Lead functional testing for new GTS solutions, enhancements, and integrations; support cutover, deployment, and hyper-care during go-live.
• Mentor junior functional analysts and serve as the program's subject-matter authority on GTS across stakeholder, technical, and integration discussions.
• Produce design documentation, configuration artifacts, training materials, and the GTS-specific RMF/accreditation evidence the program requires.

• 8+ years of SAP functional experience with at least 4+ years leading SAP GTS work, including hands-on configuration of all three GTS pillars.
• Demonstrated experience with at least one full GTS implementation cycle (design through hyper-care) on S/4HANA or ECC.
• Working knowledge of OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, ITAR, EAR, and customs filing standards (US AES, EU ICS, equivalent).
• Experience designing RBAC/ABAC controls for export-controlled data in SAP environments.
• Active DoD clearance at the level required by the JTMS program, or eligibility for clearance (specific level TBD with CACI).
• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Supply Chain, International Business, or related field; equivalent experience considered.

Preferred qualifications
• Prior experience with DoD or federal logistics / transportation programs.
• SAP GTS certification.
• Experience integrating SAP GTS with SAP TM, EWM, or MM in a high-volume, multi-modal environment.
