As an ICT Sales, Logistics & Purchasing Architect at Lotus Bakeries, you bridge strategy and execution. You operate as a domain architect with a broad, end‑to‑end view, translating business strategy into scalable IT solutions, and complement this with strong expertise that enables you to remain hands-on when needed. In your role of architect, you take the overall helicopter view over the functional domain of Sales, Logistics & Purchasing, which spans SAP SD, SAP MM & SAP IBP, as well as other software solutions in this functional area. You think in concepts and you guide the team towards sustainable, end-to-end solutions aligned with the template and the business objectives. Next to your architect role, you will work as expert or as project lead in the area of Sales, Logistics & Purchasing. As expert you work hands-on to realize and deploy new functional solutions to cover business needs. As project lead, you deliver projects within scope, time and budget. Within this functional domain, you guard the continuous update of the template & the documentation. A strong cross-domain perspective is essential, continuously assessing impacts on other functional areas and ensuring integrated, end-to-end processes (e.g. Order-to-Cash). You ensure close collaboration with key users from Lotus Bakeries sales offices & manufacturing sites across the world. You guide them on how to make the best use of standard functionality within SAP and other software solutions and you combine this with industry best practices.

You have strong knowledge of the SAP Sales & Logistics modules (SD & MM) and the integration with other SAP modules & solutions (FICO, WM, IBP, …). You combine this with a broad interest in the entire integrated application landscape, including non-SAP sales, logistics & purchasing solutions. Having participated in an SAP end-to-end roll-out and having managed specific projects in the domain of Sales, Logistics and & Purchasing is vital in this role. You think beyond your own domain and naturally take a cross-functional and global perspective. Experience with complex business topics such as pricing, VAT, intercompany flows and rebate management is an asset. We are looking for a strong communicator, able to influence stakeholders and translate complex topics into clear recommendations. You thrive in a global IT environment and are comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast-changing context. Given the fact that our sales offices & manufacturing sites are around the world, you are willing to travel from time to time.
