Summary:
As an SAP MM Purchasing Consultant, you will hold design authority and delivery accountability for the process area, leading multiple workstreams through their Managers while remaining personally hands-on on the hardest design and configuration for Purchasing within the Procurement tower of the DRS SAP programme. The role exists to own the purchasing configuration governing what may be bought, from which supplier, at which price and under whose approval.
You carry delivery risk for the process area and are expected to enter a drifting workstream, establish an evidenced position and reset the plan. You remain hands-on: the most difficult design and configuration work is yours, as is the review gate before work leaves the process area. Quality, defect trend and release readiness sit with you, together with the AI standard and the technical development of the Managers you lead.
Hold the client leadership relationship for the process area, and remain close enough to the detail to test the evidence behind a status report.

Roles & Responsibilities:
Scope & Decision Rights: Hold design authority for the process area and remain hands-on. The hardest design calls are taken by you personally, and you prove the pattern before the team builds to it. You approve decisions that carry downstream cost, hold the review gate on work leaving the process area, set the quality gates Managers deliver to, and own the delivery risk position reported to programme governance.
Purchasing Document Configuration: Configure purchase requisition and purchase order document types, number ranges, field selection, account assignment categories and item categories.
Release Strategy & Workflow: Design and configure release strategies and flexible workflow for requisitions and purchase orders, including the approval matrix and its maintenance model.
Source Determination: Configure source lists, quota arrangements, outline agreements and info records so that sourcing decisions are automated where they should be and controlled where they must be.
Purchasing Pricing & Output: Configure the condition technique for purchasing pricing and own purchase order output and form determination.
Integration & Dependencies: Work with Inventory Management for goods receipt behaviour, with Finance for invoice verification and account determination, and with Master Data for material and vendor master quality. Inventory Management is owned by the Supply chain and logistics tower.
Solution & Delivery Governance: Own solution design and delivery quality across the process area: set the design standards, approve decisions carrying downstream cost, and hold accountability for delivery risk, defect trend and release readiness across workstreams.
Delivery Recovery Leadership: Lead recovery of stressed workstreams, including approval workflows failing or purchase orders blocking at volume during a go-live: establish an evidenced position, re-plan, reallocate, remove the structural cause and report a defensible trajectory to programme leadership.
AI-Native Delivery Standards & Joule Governance: Define how AI is applied across the process area, including AI-assisted procurement design review, approval bottleneck analysis and spend control validation govern the accelerator library, set validation and IP controls, and report productivity and quality outcomes. Set the standard for SAP Joule for Consultants use and the governance of its grounding content, and decide where a Joule agent is warranted against standard configuration, holding the specification and acceptance standard with the AI and AIDLC tower.
Mentoring & Capability Building: Develop the Managers who lead the workstreams: run design reviews as teaching, pair on configuration they have not done before, and codify the resulting patterns so the capability outlives the individual. Set the technical standard across the process area and own succession for its scarce skills.
Executive & Client Engagement: Represent the process area in client leadership and programme governance forums, defend design decisions, and negotiate scope and timeline against capacity.

Professional & Technical Skills:
Must-Have Skills
MM Purchasing Configuration: Design authority over purchasing documents, item categories, account assignment and field selection in S/4HANA or ECC.
Release Strategies & Flexible Workflow: Recognised design authority in classic release strategies and S/4HANA flexible workflow, including approval design and troubleshooting.
Source Determination: Design authority over source lists, quota arrangements, outline agreements and purchasing info records.
Purchasing Pricing: Expert-level expertise in the MM condition technique and purchasing price determination.
Procure-to-Pay Awareness: Comprehensive command of how purchasing configuration drives goods receipt, invoice verification and GR/IR behaviour downstream.
Hands-On Technical Depth: Current, hands-on command of the primary skill. This is a working design authority role, not an oversight role: the hardest configuration in the process area is expected to be done by the post-holder.
Hands-On Currency: Hands-on configuration or design-level build work on the primary skill within the last 24 months. Advisory, pre-sales, governance or oversight-only experience during that period does not satisfy this requirement. Where recent experience is advisory, a technical validation forms part of selection.
Technical Mentoring & Capability Building: Demonstrated development of Managers and senior engineers through design review, pairing and codified patterns, evidenced by capability the team retained rather than output the individual delivered.
AI-Enabled Delivery Leadership: Demonstrated definition of AI standards across an SAP delivery team or tower, including validation controls, accelerator ownership and measured productivity outcomes.
SAP Joule for Consultants & Agent Governance: Working use of SAP Joule for Consultants and the capability to set how a team uses it, covering grounding content curation and client-confidentiality controls, together with the judgement to determine where a Joule agent is warranted against standard configuration. Equivalent experience setting AI tooling standards for a delivery team is accepted in place of prior Joule exposure, with working proficiency expected within 90 days of joining.
Evidence of AI Adoption: Demonstrable record of raising delivery productivity through AI or equivalent means: AI assistant adoption, delivery accelerators, reference architectures or codified playbooks built for reuse across teams, with measurable effect on throughput or quality.
Multi-Workstream Delivery & Recovery: Demonstrated leadership across multiple SAP workstreams, including at least one engagement behind plan or under quality pressure, with personal accountability for the recovery.
Executive Stakeholder Management: Credible in client leadership forums, with demonstrated capability to make and defend design and delivery decisions under incomplete information and commercial pressure.
Good to Have Skills
SAP S/4HANA Central Procurement or hub deployment
SAP Ariba Buying integration
Procurement Fiori application set and situation handling
Clean Core extensibility for purchasing documents

Additional Information:

Minimum 15 years of experience on the primary skill, as specified in the approved demand record.
Hands-on configuration or design-level build work on the primary skill within the last 24 months.
Solution and delivery leadership across multiple full lifecycle SAP programmes, including at least one recovery or high-pressure delivery situation.
