Job Purpose:
The Value Chain Analyst — Integration & SAP ABAP bridges business process analysis and technical SAP delivery. The role owns end-to-end analysis of value chain processes (Source-to-Pay and adjacent MM/PP/QM/PM flows), designs and supports system integrations across SAP and third-party platforms and performs hands-on ABAP development to resolve gaps that pure functional or pure technical resources cannot close alone. Admin related tasks also require performing in parallel.
Key Responsibilities:
Value Chain & Process Analysis
- Analyse end-to-end value chain processes across procurement, manufacturing, quality, and maintenance to identify inefficiencies and integration gaps.
- Translate business requirements into functional and technical specifications for SAP and connected platforms.
- Support Business Blueprint and gap analysis activities against SAP Activate methodology deliverables.
- Partner with process owners to validate that technical solutions actually close the identified business gap.
Integration Architecture & Delivery
- Design, build, and support integrations between SAP and external platforms (e.g. AI/CLM/sourcing tools) via SAP CPI.
- Own iFlow design, mapping, and testing for assigned interfaces, including error handling and monitoring.
- Troubleshoot interface failures end-to-end, from message payload down to backend data issues.
- Maintain the integration touchpoint register and support integration strategy and sequencing decisions.
SAP ABAP Technical Development
- Develop and maintain custom ABAP programs, enhancements (BAdIs, user exits), and reports supporting MM, PP, QM, and PM.
- Perform technical debugging of standard and custom SAP objects to support functional issue resolution.
- Build and maintain interface-related ABAP objects (IDocs, proxies, RFC/BAPI wrappers) that support CPI integrations.
- Conduct code reviews and ensure technical changes follow SAP development and transport governance standards.
Governance & Collaboration
- Work closely with implementation partners and AMS partners to validate scope and effort on change requests.
- Document technical and functional decisions to reduce dependency on external parties for routine changes.
- Support structured onboarding: ice-breaking, documentation, and knowledge transfer ahead of new implementation phases.
Qualifications & Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years of SAP experience spanning at least one functional module (MM, PP, QM, or PM) and ABAP development.
- Demonstrated experience with SAP CPI or equivalent integration middleware (Process Orchestration, PI/PO).
- Working knowledge of SAP Activate methodology and Business Blueprint / Business Process documentation.
- SAP certification(s) in a functional or technical track preferred (e.g. S/4HANA module certification, ABAP certification).
- Experience working alongside System Integrators and AMS partners in a governance or oversight capacity is an advantage.
