Workstream Lead Advance Variant Configuration (AVC)

This role is critical for migrating and enhancing complex variant configuration capabilities from LO-VC to SAP AVC, while ensuring seamless integration with SAP Solution Quotation processes and broader solution architecture.

Key Technical Skills & Experience Required:

• SAP AVC Modeling Expertise:
  • Strong hands-on experience in designing and implementing advanced AVC models using procedures, constraints, Super BOMs (Super Bill of Materials), and variant tables.
  • Deep understanding of AVC configuration profiles, object dependencies, and class type management to support highly configurable products.
• LO-VC to AVC Migration:
  • Proven track record in migrating from LO-VC to AVC, with specific expertise in transitioning P-Functions to BADIs.
  • Experience in model conversion strategies, data migration, and ensuring business continuity during the transition.
• PDR for AVC Model Migration:
  • Hands-on experience using PDR (Product Data Replication) to migrate AVC models and related master data between systems.
• SAP-SFDC Integration:
  • Experience integrating SAP AVC (and broader SAP S/4HANA) with SAP Solution Quotation, Salesforce (SFDC) and other external boundary systems, including configuration data flow, quote-to-order processes, and real-time or batch synchronization.
• Complex Enhancements & Technical Leadership:
  • Ability to analyze, design, and drive implementation of complex AVC-related enhancements and custom developments.
  • Strong capability to lead and facilitate cross-functional technical discussions involving stakeholders from Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales, Pricing, and IT teams.
  • Experience in troubleshooting performance issues, optimizing configuration models, and ensuring scalability for high-volume configurable product scenarios.

Additional Expected Competencies as Workstream Lead:

• End-to-end ownership of the AVC workstream, including requirements gathering, solution design, configuration, testing, cutover, and hypercare support.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with Solution Architects, other workstream leads (especially SAP Solution Quotation), and external implementation partners.
• Strong communication skills to translate complex technical AVC concepts into business value for project sponsors and stakeholders.
• Familiarity with SAP best practices, clean core principles, and modern extensibility options (e.g., BAdIs, RAP, etc.) in an S/4HANA environment.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role that requires a deep SAP AVC/VC background combined with the ability to lead a team through a complex transformation. Candidates with prior experience in Life sciences industries with complex configurable products will be preferred.
