Job Title: OMP Techno-Functional Solution Architect -Supplychain IBM

Location: US, Remote

Department: Supply Chain IT / Global Operations Transformation

Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced and visionary OMP Techno-Functional Solution Architect to own the technical blueprint and strategic evolution of our global supply chain planning platform.

In this role, you won't just manage software—you will act as the master architect bridging the gap between complex operational realities and advanced mathematical optimization.

You will lead the end-to-end design, configuration, and integration of the OMP Unison Planning suite, ensuring our systems run at peak performance to drive agile, data-driven decision-making across our global network.

Key Responsibilities:

Solution Architecture & Design:

? Translate Strategy to System: Architect robust, scalable OMP solutions that accurately model complex enterprise constraints (e.g., capacity bottlenecks, multi-echelon inventory, volatile demand).

? Optimization Governance: Evaluate and select the appropriate OMP solvers, heuristics, or custom optimization engines to solve detailed production scheduling and S&OP challenges.

? Future-Proofing: Design platform structures that accommodate business growth, new manufacturing facilities, and evolving supply chain models without technical debt.

Advanced Technical Configuration:

? Custom Engineering: Write, review, and optimize complex OPAL scripts, macros, andcustomized user actions.

? Data & Performance Optimization: Own the underlying OMP data model, control tables, and workbook structures. Proactively troubleshoot and resolve system performance, memory bottlenecks, and calculation run-times.

? Integration Strategy: Architect seamless, end-to-end data pipelines between OMP and external ERP systems (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, Oracle), ensuring absolute data integrity for master and transactional data.

Leadership & Collaboration:

? Cross-Functional Bridge: Serve as the primary liaison between executive supply chain business leaders, planning teams, and technical IT developers.

? Standards Enforcement: Define and govern global OMP configuration best practices and documentation standards for the broader implementation team.

What You Bring (Qualifications)

Technical & Professional Experience:

? OMP Expertise: 8+ years of experience in supply chain technology implementation, including 4+ years specifically acting as a Lead or Senior Architect on large-scale OMP environments.

? Deep Programming & Data Skills: Advanced mastery of OPAL, SQL, and database optimization. Familiarity with object-oriented programming (Python, C++) is highly advantageous.

? ERP Integration: Proven track record of integrating OMP with SAP (PP/DS, MM, SD) or equivalent enterprise ERP architectures.

? Lifecycle Experience: Proven success leading at least two full-lifecycle, global OMP implementations from initial blueprinting through hyper-care.

Functional Knowledge & Education:

? Supply Chain Logic: Exceptional understanding of APICS/ASCM principles, S&OP, Demand Sensing, and detailed finite scheduling.

? Education: Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Supply Chain Management, or a related quantitative field.

? Soft Skills: Outstanding communication skills with a proven ability to explain complex algorithmic behavior to non-technical business stakeholders.
