Full Job Description
THE ROLE

AMD's Supply Chain Transformation (SCT) team is modernizing how we plan and execute global transportation. We are seeking a hands-on TMS Solution Architect to lead the design and rollout of a global Transportation Management System (TMS) across our multi-plant, multi-carrier, multi-mode logistics network. This individual will be the connective tissue between Global Logistics (GL) business teams and IT - translating logistics business processes into a scalable solution design, owning the architecture end to end, and leading the organizational change required to adopt it.

Working across our SAP S/4HANA backbone, EDI and carrier integrations, and emerging control-tower, RFID, and AI/automation initiatives, you will deliver measurable improvements in transportation cost, speed, visibility, and resilience.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Business process definition - partner with Global Logistics (GL) and IT to define, document, and standardize transportation business processes across regions, plants, and shipment modes.
  • Solution design & architecture - own the end-to-end TMS solution design, including order-to-delivery flows, freight order management, carrier selection and rate shopping, routing and route determination, freight settlement, and track-and-trace.
  • End-to-end delivery - lead blueprint/fit-gap, configuration oversight, integration design, testing, cutover, and hypercare for the TMS rollout.
  • Systems integration - design and govern integrations between the TMS and SAP S/4HANA ,EDI carrier connections, control-tower and visibility platforms, and external logistics partners.
  • Carrier & multi-mode enablement - drive carrier onboarding and enablement across ocean, air, parcel, and ground (LTL/FTL) for a large, global carrier base.
  • Change management - lead stakeholder alignment, process adoption, training, and communications so the solution lands with the business, not just IT.
  • Vendor & SI management - partner with software vendors and system integrators; review SOWs, guide delivery teams, and hold them to architecture and quality standards.
  • Standards & governance - establish solution standards, data governance, and reusable design patterns to scale the platform across AMD's network. Recommend process improvements and industry best practices
  • Roadmap contribution - support the broader SCT roadmap, including EDI stabilization, RFID, and AI-driven automation initiatives.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Proven, hands-on experience rolling out a TMS solution end to end - from design through go-live and stabilization - not solely supporting an existing system.
  • Direct experience implementing TMS in a dynamic, global multinational with many manufacturing or distribution plants, a large carrier base, and multi-mode transportation (ocean, air, parcel, ground).
  • Strong transportation and logistics business-process expertise: freight management, carrier management, rate and route optimization, freight audit and pay, and delivery performance.
  • Demonstrated solution-architecture capability across the full path: requirements  solution design  integration design  delivery.
  • Track record of leading change management and driving cross-functional adoption across both business and IT.
  • Excellent stakeholder management, with the ability to influence without authority across regions and functions.
  • Experience integrating transportation systems with SAP ERP and EDI/carrier networks.
  • Significant experience in SAP Transportation Management with minimum of 3 to 4 end to end TM implementations.
  • Good understanding of SAP supply chain processes
  • SAP TMS preferred - SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) implementation experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding about Inbound and Outbound shipments (Domestic and International), Transportation Load Builder (FTL, LTL), different modes of transports, and Freight Settlement.
  • Experience with SAP S/4HANA logistics (SD / LE / MM) and embedded or decentralized TM.
  • Exposure to leading TMS and control-tower platforms (e.g., Blue Yonder) and logistics visibility solutions.
  • Familiarity with semiconductor, high-tech, or high-volume electronics supply chains.
  • EDI, API, IDoc, and middleware integration experience across carrier networks.
  • Experience with parcel, international ocean and air freight, and customs/brokerage, duties, and taxes considerations.

KEY COMPETENCIES
    • Process-first mindset - fluently bridges GL business needs and IT delivery.
    • Architect's discipline - sees the whole system, manages trade-offs, and documents decisions.
    • Ownership & bias for action - thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
    • Change leadership - a clear communicator who moves an organization, not just a system.
    • Global collaboration - works effectively across cultures and time zones.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field; advanced degree a plus. Equivalent professional experience will be considered.
