Senior Manager, Prod...

For more than a century, Ben E. Keith Company has been a leader in fine food and premium beverage distribution, and we strive to consistently exceed our customers’ expectations. Our Food Division is a complete broad line multi-state distributor, and our Beverage Division operates throughout the state of Texas as a proud distributor of Anheuser-Busch products, craft and import beer brands, spirits, and wine. We are dedicated to the growth and success of our business, our customers, and our employees—continuing our commitment to delivering quality since 1906. Senior Manager, Product Owner – SAP Order-to-Cash (OTC) This is more than an SAP leadership role—it is an opportunity to shape how the business serves customers, fulfills orders, realizes revenue, and grows. You will own the end-to-end OTC product vision, connect business priorities to scalable technology solutions, and lead modernization across SAP S/4HANA and integrated platforms. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Enterprise-wide influence: Set the roadmap for capabilities spanning order management, pricing, fulfillment, billing, customer service, and revenue realization. Visible business impact: Turn strategic priorities into measurable improvements in customer experience, operational efficiency, platform performance, and growth. Innovation with purpose: Apply AI, automation, predictive analytics, and intelligent workflows to solve meaningful business challenges. True product ownership: Lead the portfolio, roadmap, backlog, investments, and delivery outcomes—not just individual projects. Strategic partnership: Collaborate across business, IT, architecture, data, operations, and external delivery partners to optimize the complete OTC journey. A stable company investing in the future: Join a long-established, family-owned organization that values employee growth, diverse perspectives, and practical innovation. You may be a strong fit if you combine deep SAP OTC/SD expertise with product leadership, business acumen, and the ability to turn complexity into a clear, value-driven roadmap. If you are energized by building reliable operations while advancing transformation, this role gives you the scope and influence to make a lasting impact.
