About the Role
As a Principal SAP IBP Consultant, you will drive the delivery of complex SAP Integrated Business Planning and Supply Chain transformation programs. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, lead solution architecture, and guide clients through planning maturity uplift and business transformation. This senior leadership role combines strategic advisory, hands-on solution design, and delivery oversight across multiple industries.
Your tasks and responsibilities
- Lead complex SAP IBP programs and planning transformations across multiple industries from pre-sales through to go-live and optimisation
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, shaping planning strategy, operating model and solution roadmap
- Own end-to-end solution architecture across IBP modules including Demand, Supply, Inventory, S&OP and Response (as required)
- Lead high-impact workshops to define processes, confirm scope, and align business and technical stakeholders
- Provide design authority across planning area design, master data approach, key figure modelling and integration strategy
- Oversee delivery quality across the project lifecycle including governance, RAID management, testing strategy and cutover readiness
- Lead and support pre-sales activities including discovery sessions, solution demonstrations, estimates, proposals and RFP responses
- Guide teams on best practice solution design, documentation standards and delivery methodology
- Mentor and develop consultants, supporting capability uplift and knowledge sharing across the practice
- Provide post-go-live advisory, continuous improvement recommendations and value-realisation initiatives
Your qualifications and experience
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and advise at executive level
- Multiple SAP IBP projects under your belt, including ownership of end-to-end outcomes across complex programs
- Strong consulting leadership experience with proven ability to own outcomes across scope, timeline, quality and stakeholder expectations
- Not just an IBP specialist — transferable Digital Supply Chain expertise highly regarded, such as Production, Digital Manufacturing, PP/DS, Procurement, Sales, or Warehousing
- Proven capability in solution architecture, design governance and stakeholder management at senior levels
- Strong understanding of integrated planning processes and planning maturity uplift (Demand, Supply, Inventory and S&OP)
- Experience shaping integration and data strategies in collaboration with technical teams (e.g., CPI-DS/SDI or equivalent)
- Pre-sales experience highly regarded including scoping, estimation, solution positioning and client presentations
- SAP IBP certification and/or advanced SAP planning training highly regarded
- If your background is primarily IBP-focused, a growth mindset and demonstrable ability to broaden across SAP Digital Supply Chain domains will be strongly valued
- Passion for developing people, improving delivery standards and driving thought leadership in planning transformation
What we offer
- Work with SAP’s latest technologies on cloud such as S/4HANA, BTP and Joule
- A flexible and supportive work environment including the ability to work from anywhere in Australia or New Zealand
- Competitive remuneration and benefits including novated lease, birthday leave, salary packaging, wellbeing programme, additional purchased leave, and company-provided laptop
