APS Solution Architect (o9 / Anaplan / SAP IBP) at DS Technologies Inc in AZ-Phoenix-85003 Fully Remote - US

Job description

• You will lead solution architecture and delivery for Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) / integrated business planning programs, translating supply-chain planning requirements into scalable platform designs and guiding build/configuration teams through implementation.
• This is an architect-level consulting role (typically 5–7+ years relevant experience) where you’ll own blueprinting, integration strategy, and executive-ready solution narratives.

Responsibilities

• Lead solution design and architecture for planning processes (demand planning, supply planning, production planning/scheduling, inventory optimization, S&OP/IBP).
• Run blueprinting/requirements workshops, publish design decisions, and build phased roadmaps that stakeholders can execute.
• Define data and integration architecture between APS tools and enterprise systems (e.g., SAP/Oracle ERPs and upstream/downstream planning/execution apps).
• Guide configuration/build teams across the lifecycle (design → build/config → test → cutover), ensuring performance, scalability, and operability.
• Produce strong architecture documentation, support solutioning (as needed), and present outcomes to senior client stakeholders.

Requirements

• U.S. citizenship (required for many client environments).
• 5–7+ years in supply chain planning architecture/implementation (APS/IBP programs).
• Deep functional knowledge in at least two areas: demand planning, supply planning, PP/DS or production scheduling, inventory optimization/MEIO, S&OP/IBP orchestration.
• Platform depth in at least one: o9, Anaplan, or SAP IBP (architect/lead level).
• Strong integration understanding (source-to-target mapping, master data design, ETL/ELT patterns, planning data quality, integration monitoring).
• Consulting skills: stakeholder management, workshop facilitation, crisp written artifacts, and “tell the story” communication.
• o9: ability to map business requirements into o9 models/workflows and define integrations to enterprise systems like SAP/Oracle.
• SAP IBP: end-to-end design across IBP modules plus integration patterns into SAP landscapes and external platforms.
• Anaplan: translating spreadsheets and business planning problems into multidimensional Anaplan supply chain applications.
