In this role, you will be responsible for gathering and validating functional business requirements, designing, developing and configuring SAP solutions, and ensuring seamless integration across systems. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams on the company-wide SaaS First initiative on the SAP platform, driving innovation while ensuring compliance with General Motors’ IT Solution Delivery Methodology.

Ensure each solution has a comprehensive testing approach and end-to-end process validation, guiding and working collaboratively with Quality Assurance teams.
Work on large-scale global and regional implementations as well as smaller, faster innovation challenges.
Provide Application Management support, leading the troubleshooting of production issues in areas of functional expertise, working closely and coordinating investigation of problems with ABAP developers, Basis Administrators, Infrastructure and Operations teams.
Support the introduction of new solutions to business customers as well as transitioning stable solutions to the sustain/operations organization.

Advise the team and business partners on best practices for SAP Digital Manufacturing, PP, and MM.
Maintain expertise in SAP configuration / customization tools and techniques and stay current with SAP roadmap and GM standards.
Lead integration of SAP software solutions within GM’s environments and external partner landscapes, including manufacturing plants and supply chain partners.
Where applicable, work with SAP BTP, SAP Plant Connectivity / Production Connector, and industrial protocols (e.g., OPC UA, MQTT) to integrate SAP with plant-floor systems.
Comply with GM standards and industry best practices for security, auditability, performance, and supportability.
Demonstrate commitment to continuous learning and personal development, including ongoing training and development in SAP and modern delivery techniques.
Proactively seek opportunities within the SAP solution portfolio that can benefit business partners, reduce technical debt, and simplify the application landscape.
Provide support and consultancy to users on optimization of SAP system use and best practices to maximize value from existing IT solutions (SAP systems and other applications integrated with them).
