ABOUT THE CLIENT
Our client is a global leader in high-end household appliances and commercial equipment, renowned worldwide for premium quality, innovation, and engineering excellence. The organization is currently undertaking a major enterprise-wide digital transformation initiative. This initiative focuses on modernizing end-to-end engineering, production, and supply chain processes across a hybrid platform, establishing future-proof logistics architecture, target operating models, and strict clean-core SAP standard practices globally.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The SAP TM Lead assumes end-to-end transformation leadership for the Transportation Management workstream within the global digital transformation program.
