- Configure SAP IBP SDI and CPI-DS integration scenarios for accurate, timely data flows
- Translate planning requirements from cross-functional stakeholders into functional specifications and test cases
- Guide planning teams through change management, training, and adoption of new tools

- Proven experience with IBP Demand, S&OP, Supply, Time Series Optimiser, Inventory, and Order-Based Planning
- Strong grasp of data models and governance for audit-ready master data structures
- SAP Certified Application Professional in SAP IBP, or an equivalent certification
