We are looking for a senior domain expert to lead the analysis, design, and delivery of intelligent supply chain solutions for our energy bar manufacturing operations. This person will combine deep SAP expertise in lot traceability, production planning, and quality management with the ability to build, configure, and showcase AI-powered applications in Microsoft Copilot Studio.

• Support recall readiness by ensuring all finished goods lots can be traced back to raw material batches within minutes.

Demand planning & MRP

• Analyse existing MRP models and demand planning processes, identifying inefficiencies in reorder point logic, safety stock calculations, and planned order management.
• Build improved demand planning models that account for ingredient shelf life, seasonal demand patterns, and batch-specific supply constraints.
• Configure and fine-tune MRP parameters in SAP including planning horizons, lot sizing, and procurement lead times specific to food manufacturing.
• Provide expertise in SAP IBP or APO (advantageous) for statistical forecasting and supply-demand balancing.

Copilot Studio build & showcase

• Design, build, and deploy intelligent agents using Microsoft Copilot Studio, connecting to SAP via OData APIs and the SAP Power Platform connector.
• Deliver working applications including a natural-language lot traceability agent, a demand planning assistant, a recall impact assessment tool, and an executive supply chain summary copilot.
• Build Power Automate flows to orchestrate SAP data retrieval, exception alerting, and approval workflows triggered through Copilot Studio.
• Showcase solutions to business stakeholders through structured demonstrations, collecting feedback and iterating rapidly on the applications.
• Embed solutions into Microsoft Teams and web channels for broad business user adoption.
