Full Job Description
You are:

A transformation expert adept with the skills to help clients meet the challenges of digitization. You're in your element using your know-how to solve clients' most complex business problems to help their companies do more. You're as comfortable working in teams and leading projects as you are diving into the details of workstreams and configuring SAP systems. And you're up for traveling regularly to client sites.

The work:
  • Drive transformation programs by leveraging domain expertise and SAP platform capabilities to deliver impactful business solutions.
  • Collaborate with clients to identify and address business challenges through innovative SAP solutions.
  • Define strategic objectives and establish actionable plans to achieve near-term and long-term goals.
  • Engage with senior leadership at both client organizations and Accenture, effectively negotiating and communicating on critical business matters.
  • Exercise sound judgment to navigate complex assignments and provide strategic direction.
  • Lead and manage large-scale teams and projects, ensuring successful delivery of client and organizational objectives.
  • Oversee the development of comprehensive reports and deliver compelling presentations to stakeholders.
  • Analyze and review functional business requirements, processes, workflows, and diagrams to ensure alignment with client needs.
  • Own end-to-end SAP PP and QM solution strategy and architecture, covering core manufacturing, production planning, execution, and quality management processes in SAP S/4HANA.
  • Act as the SAP PP & QM solution lead, ensuring alignment with SAP best practices, Clean Core principles, and Accenture architecture standards.
  • Lead large-scale, global SAP PP & QM transformation programs, driving process standardization across plants and regions.
  • Govern integration design and execution across SAP PP/QM and related modules (MM, WM/EWM, PM, SD, Finance) and shopfloor / MES systems.
  • Oversee design, configuration, testing, cutover, and go-live readiness, ensuring stable production deployments and business continuity.
  • Provide strategic advisory to Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations leadership, shaping transformation roadmaps and value realization.
  • Drive change management, training, and adoption for planners, quality teams, and plant users.
  • Mentor and develop SAP PP & QM leads and architects, and contribute to pre-sales, solutioning, and manufacturing practice growth.


Here's what you need:
  • Bachelor's degree or completion of a college program in a related discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years of SAP experience with strong hands-on and leadership expertise in SAP PP and QM.
  • Minimum 5 years of SAP transformation, technical advisory or consulting experience, or 8 years of equivalent industry experience.
  • Eligibility for Secret Security Clearance
  • English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with stakeholders across Canada, US and other countries across our Global footprint where English is the common language. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking stakeholders, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Proven experience leading large-scale SAP S/4HANA manufacturing and quality implementations.
  • Strong understanding of end-to-end manufacturing, production planning, and quality processes.
  • Experience engaging and influencing senior client and Accenture leadership.
  • Experience with SAP Activate methodology and Agile delivery models.
  • Industry experience in Manufacturing, Consumer Goods, Life Sciences, Automotive, or Industrial Products.
  • Experience with PP/DS, capacity planning, and detailed scheduling.
