Senior Group Technical Architect
Bengaluru, Karnataka
Job Summary
Role Overview
The Senior Program Manager will lead a multi-year SAP S/4HANA transformation program within a semiconductor manufacturing environment, integrating tightly with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), and Kinaxis RapidResponse.
This role is accountable for orchestrating cross-tower delivery (SAP, MES, PLM, Planning), ensuring end-to-end process integration from engineering to manufacturing to supply chain, while driving business outcomes such as cycle time reduction, planning accuracy, and manufacturing efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end S/4HANA transformation program across SAP, MES, PLM, and Kinaxis workstreams
- Establish integrated program governance, roadmap, and cross-system architecture alignment
- Manage complex semiconductor use cases:
o Engineering-to-Manufacturing (PLM MES SAP)
o Plan-to-Produce (Kinaxis SAP MES)
o As-built / as-designed traceability and genealogy
- Drive alignment across business (engineering, manufacturing, supply chain), IT, and system integrators
- Oversee delivery of:
o SAP core (Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing)
o Data migration (material master, BOMs, routings, quality data)
o Integrations (PLM–SAP–MES–Kinaxis)
- Lead cutover planning and go-live readiness across multiple plants/sites
- Ensure strong governance on RAID (Risks, Actions, Issues, Dependencies), KPIs, and value realization
- Manage vendors, global delivery teams, and offshore/onshore coordination
- Drive business readiness, training, and adoption across manufacturing sites
Must-Have Skills
- Deep S/4HANA transformation experience (Greenfield/Brownfield; ECC S/4 migration)
- Robust understanding of semiconductor or discrete manufacturing processes:
o BOM complexity, routings, work centers, shop floor integration
- Proven experience integrating SAP with MES and PLM systems
- Hands-on experience with planning tools (Kinaxis or equivalent APS solutions)
- Expertise in cross-system integration, data migration, and end-to-end process design
- Strong program governance, PMO, and multi-workstream leadership capabilities
- Experience managing large global programs with multiple system integrators
- Excellent stakeholder management across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain leadership
- Solid command of risk, dependency, and change management
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience in semiconductor industry (e.g., LAM, Applied Materials, Intel ecosystem)
- Exposure to fab operations, equipment integration, and manufacturing analytics
- Knowledge of SAP Digital Manufacturing / OpCenter / Industry 4.0 solutions / S4HANA Supply Chain
- Familiarity with PLM platforms (Teamcenter, Windchill) and MES tools
- Experience with SAP BTP, cloud integration, and data platforms (Databricks, AI/ML use cases)
- Certifications: PMP, SAP Activate, SAFe Agile
- Experience leading multi-site / global rollouts and template-based deployments
- Experience with all MS tools especially MS Project
Experience & Qualifications
- 12–18+ years overall IT / transformation program experience
- 7–10+ years SAP program leadership, including S/4HANA implementations
- Delivered at least 3+ full lifecycle S/4HANA transformations (design deploy)
- Proven experience managing large-scale programs ($10M+ budgets, global teams)
- Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or equivalent preferred
