Waukegan, IL (Starting Fully Onsite for UAT, then will reduce to hybrid) Type:

Long-Term Contract Overview: Our client, a leader in medical manufacturing, is seeking a

functional, business-facing SAP Production Planning (PP) Analyst

to support the Unify Program, a major enterprise effort to consolidate multiple legacy manufacturing systems into a single, standardized SAP ECC platform. This is

not a technical or configuration role

— it is ideal for someone with deep knowledge of

supply chain, forecasting, and production planning processes

who can engage directly with business stakeholders and guide them through functional adoption and process alignment. What You'll Do: Serve as a

trusted advisor

to manufacturing and supply chain leaders, helping them understand, define and optimize planning processes in SAP PP across sites. Act as a

functional liaison between the business and IT , gathering planning-related requirements and facilitating process adoption. Guide stakeholders through: Forecast interpretation and integration into planning Planning strategies (e.g., make-to-stock, make-to-order) Sales order management as it relates to production planning Discrete vs. repetitive manufacturing practices Conduct workshops and lead discussions with site teams to drive understanding and process standardization independently. Collaborate with technical/configuration teams by relaying business requirements —

no configuration work is required from this role . Support long-term efforts to transition from ECC to

S/4HANA

by ensuring clean, unified planning practices are established now. Focus entirely within the

SAP PP module

(no SD, MM, etc.), across S/4 HANA environments. Ideal Candidate Profile: Strong background in

SAP Production Planning (PP)

from a

process and business function perspective , especially within

discrete and repetitive manufacturing . Familiarity with

forecasting, demand planning, sales orders, and production planning strategies

within manufacturing settings. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

— able to translate technical concepts to business leaders and vice versa. Proven experience engaging directly with business users to explain planning processes and drive adoption. Experience with SAP ECC & S/4HANA Demonstrated ability to

self-manage, run workshops, and lead functional discussions

without relying on being assigned tasks. Nice to Have: Exposure to FDA-regulated or highly structured manufacturing environments. Familiarity with SAP integration points (EWM, OpenText), though no hands-on config required. Not a Fit If You: Are primarily a

technical SAP PP configurator or developer . Prefer to work behind the scenes rather than directly with business stakeholders. Lack hands-on experience with supply chain and production planning business processes. Seniority level
