Location: Lakewood, CO, US

Requisition : 34990

This role provides deep functional and configuration leadership for SAP S/4

HANA Transportation Management (embedded TM) operating within an SAP S/4

HANA Private Cloud (RISE) environment and supporting a globally distributed logistics network, including internally operated facilities and 3PL‑managed warehouses. The position is responsible for designing, stabilizing, optimizing, and governing end‑to‑end transportation planning, execution, and freight settlement using embedded TM as the system of record, while integrating with externally managed warehouse and execution platforms. The role ensures consistent transportation visibility, cost control, and compliance across inbound, outbound, and intercompany logistics flows in a regulated manufacturing and distribution environment.

• Own and enhance SAP S/4
  
  HANA embedded TM configuration as the authoritative system for transportation planning, execution governance, and freight financials.
• Support and optimize TM capabilities across:
  • Freight unit and freight order lifecycle management
  • Inbound, outbound, and intercompany transportation scenarios
  • Carrier assignment, tendering, and execution visibility
  • Transportation zones, lanes, stages, and routes
• Ensure TM solutions effectively support hybrid warehouse landscapes, including:
  • SAP‑managed warehouses (EWM or WM)
  • 3PL‑managed warehouses operating external WMS/TMS platforms
• Partner with Supply Chain, Logistics, and Finance to resolve transportation execution issues while maintaining stable operations across internal and externally operated facilities.

• Lead solution design and continuous optimization for SAP S/4
  
  HANA embedded TM within Private Cloud technical and extensibility constraints.
• Define and own TM functional scope across:
  • Freight units, freight orders, packages, and capacity documents
  • Planning profiles and strategies
  • Freight charge calculation, settlement, and cost allocation
  • Transportation event tracking and status visibility
• Design end‑to‑end transportation scenarios that explicitly account for handoffs between SAP TM and 3PL execution systems, including:
  • Transportation planning initiated in TM with warehouse execution at 3PLs
  • Carrier execution events sourced from external logistics providers
  • Intercompany and stock‑transfer flows spanning multiple operating models
• Establish clear integration and ownership boundaries between:
  • SAP TM (planning, cost, visibility, governance)
  • 3PL WMS/TMS platforms (physical warehouse execution)
• Drive adoption of SAP standard TM capabilities and sanctioned extensibility (configuration, Fiori, BAdIs) while minimizing custom logic that conflicts with RISE constraints.
• Ensure TM integrates sustainably with SD and MM delivery processes, FI for freight accruals, settlement, and cost distribution, EWM/WM where SAP‑managed warehousing exists, and external 3PL platforms via approved integration patterns.
• Govern transportation cost accuracy and auditability regardless of whether execution occurs internally or at partner‑managed facilities.
• Validate TM processes against business, financial, and regulatory requirements, recommending operational or process changes where SAP standard provides superior control.
• Produce and maintain high‑quality documentation:
  • Functional requirements and design specifications
  • End‑to‑end transportation and integration flows
  • Configuration rationale and architectural decisions
  • Develop and execute test strategies, scenarios, and scripts supporting GxP / GAMP 5 / CSV validation for transportation processes impacting regulated supply chains
• Act as a TM subject‑matter expert during audits, cutovers, and critical production incidents.

• Serve as functional lead for SAP TM initiatives, enhancements, and optimization work streams within an S/4
  
  HANA Private Cloud program.
• Collaborate with Business stakeholders, Integration teams, 3PL and logistics service partners.
• Mentor junior analysts and contribute to:
