Summary:
As an SAP SD Sales & Distribution Consultant, you will own a module workstream end to end, from design decisions through to cutover, leading a small team while remaining hands-on for Sales & Distribution (SD) within the Commercial / Order to Cash tower of the DRS SAP programme. The role exists to provide core SAP SD capability across the order-to-cash process area, holding the organisational structure, document flow and cross-module design on which the specialist modules depend.
You carry the workstream delivery commitment: defensible estimates, early disclosure of risk, and diagnosis to root cause rather than escalation. You are expected to make AI a measurable productivity lever for your team, governed by a defined validation standard.
You lead a small delivery team and hold the working relationship with the business process owners for this module, while remaining hands-on in configuration.

Roles & Responsibilities:
Scope & Decision Rights: Own the module design. You determine configuration approach, estimates and sequencing for the workstream and approve the deliverables of the engineers you lead cross-module design changes are agreed with the process area lead.
SD Core Configuration: Configure and support SAP SD core: organisational structure, sales document types, item and schedule line categories, copy control, delivery and billing document flow.
Cross-Process Design: Contribute to order-to-cash design across order, delivery, billing and pricing, and keep decisions consistent across the process chain rather than optimised per module.
Master Data Dependency Management: Work with the owning towers on customer, material and pricing master data, and resolve process failures caused by data rather than configuration.
Cross-Module Design Consistency: Keep design decisions consistent across order, delivery, billing and pricing, and arbitrate where two specialist modules want incompatible behaviour from the same document or master object.
Integration & Dependencies: Operate across the full order-to-cash chain and into Finance for revenue posting and into Inventory, EWM and TM for fulfilment. Credit Management, Collections, Cash Application and Customer Master Data are owned by the Finance tower.
Workstream Delivery Ownership: Estimate, sequence and deliver the module workstream against milestones, enforcing the quality gates for configuration, specifications, test evidence and defect containment.
Issue Diagnosis & Corrective Action: Lead resolution where order-to-cash failures that cross module boundaries and have no clear owner places a milestone at risk: diagnose across configuration, data and integration layers, evaluate options against time and risk, and drive the agreed course to closure.
AI-Enabled Delivery & Joule Agent Specification: Build and maintain the reusable prompt and accelerator set for cross-module order-to-cash analysis, scenario test generation and configuration comparison, define the validation standard applied within the team, and evidence the effort saved. Use SAP Joule for Consultants as standard practice and curate its grounding content for this module. Identify Joule agent use cases, write the specification and supply the process context the AI and AIDLC tower builds, and you validate the result against the business outcome.
Team Leadership & Mentoring: Lead a small delivery team, allocate work to capability, review deliverables before release, and develop engineers in both module depth and delivery discipline.
Stakeholder Management: Lead requirement and design workshops with business process owners, present options, impacts and risks in business terms, and defend scope where change threatens the committed date

Professional & Technical Skills:
Must-Have Skills
SAP SD Core: Deep hands-on configuration across SD core: organisational structure, document types, item categories, copy control and document flow in S/4HANA or ECC.
Order to Cash Breadth: Strong capability across order, delivery, billing and pricing rather than depth in one area only.
Integration Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of SD integration to FI, MM, Inventory and warehouse execution.
Problem Diagnosis: Demonstrated capability to trace an order-to-cash failure end to end and identify where in the chain it originated.
Flexible Deployment: Breadth across the process area, with the capability to deepen into a specialist module as programme scope requires.
Hands-On Currency: Current and continuous hands-on configuration work on the primary skill, with no sustained break from build activity in the last 18 months.
AI-Enabled Delivery: Demonstrated use of AI to raise workstream throughput through prompt sets, accelerators or analysis routines adopted by others, governed by a defined validation standard.
SAP Joule for Consultants & Agent Specification: Working use of SAP Joule for Consultants, including grounding it in client-specific content, together with the capability to identify Joule agent use cases in the module and specify them for a dedicated AI capability to build. Where prior Joule exposure is absent, working proficiency is expected within 90 days of joining.
Evidence of AI Adoption: Demonstrable adoption of AI in delivery work, evidenced through AI assistant use, reusable accelerators, automation of recurring delivery tasks or codified playbooks adopted by others, together with the judgement to verify generated output before it is acted on.
Workstream Management: Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of an SAP module workstream: estimation, milestone commitment, defect management, integration test and cutover.
Team Leadership: Demonstrated leadership of a small delivery team and direct ownership of business stakeholder relationships, including contested scope discussions.
