Summary:
As an SAP MM Direct Procurement 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 Direct Procurement within the Procurement tower of the DRS SAP programme. The role exists to own direct material procurement, where purchasing is driven by production demand and a missed delivery schedule halts a line.
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 level 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.
Demand-Driven Procurement: Configure and support MRP-driven requisitioning, conversion to purchase orders and scheduling agreements with delivery schedules and release documentation.
Special Procurement Processes: Configure subcontracting including component provision and consumption postings, consignment, pipeline and stock transfer scenarios between plants.
Supplier Confirmations & Inbound: Set up supplier confirmation control, inbound deliveries and ASN handling so that expected receipt dates are trusted by planning.
Supply Reliability: Monitor and act on schedule adherence, open confirmations and overdue receipts, and work with planning when supply will not meet the production plan.
Integration & Dependencies: Work with Production Planning for demand signals, with Inventory Management and EWM for goods receipt, and with Finance for GR-based invoice verification. Inventory Management is owned by the Supply chain and logistics 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 supply shortfalls where confirmed delivery schedules stopped reflecting reality 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 schedule adherence analysis, subcontracting reconciliation and scenario test generation, 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
Direct Procurement Configuration: Design and configuration ownership of scheduling agreements, delivery schedules, release creation and MRP-driven purchasing in S/4HANA or ECC.

Inbound Logistics: Demonstrated experience with supplier confirmations, inbound deliveries and ASN processing.
Planning Interface: Strong working knowledge of MRP output and how procurement proposals are generated, firmed and converted.
Production Impact Awareness: Demonstrated understanding of the production impact of procurement failure and the response urgency required.
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.

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.
