Role Overview:

The SAP FTA plays a critical role in supporting Hyundai Motor Group Manufacturing America (HMGMA) by managing, optimizing, and maintaining Free Trade Agreement (FTA) processes within SAP. This position ensures the organization fully leverages trade compliance opportunities—particularly under agreements such as USMCA and KORUS—to minimize duty exposure and streamline global trade operations.

Serving as a subject-matter expert on SAP's FTA functionality, the consultant integrates and configures FTA processes across SAP MM (Materials Management) and SD (Sales & Distribution) modules. The role focuses on ensuring regulatory compliance, maintaining accurate supplier and product-level qualification data, and enabling automated FTA determination to support efficient cross-border transactions.

The SAP FTA works closely with procurement, logistics, trade compliance, finance, and IT teams to design workflows, resolve system issues, and enhance end-to-end FTA management. By optimizing SAP tools and data, this role directly contributes to operational efficiency, cost savings, and the company's ability to meet evolving international trade regulations.

Key Responsibilities:

Fta Process Integration:

• Manage and enhance SAP GTS functionality to support FTA operations.
• Ensure products are correctly qualified under key trade agreements such as USMCA and KORUS.
• Work with purchasing and logistics teams to maintain accurate supplier-origin documentation, including declarations and certificates of origin.

• Configure SAP systems to track FTA eligibility and maintain required documentation.
• Provide second-level support to resolve FTA-related ERP issues.
• Assist with ABAP debugging and troubleshoot system interfaces as necessary.

• Lead or support projects focused on improving FTA-related system processes.
• Coordinate with Korea HQ and cross-functional teams to ensure consistent ERP standards and compliance practices.

• Develop training materials and deliver sessions for teams involved in FTA processes.
• Maintain accurate documentation of workflows, SAP configurations, and compliance requirements.

• Ensure adherence to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations across FTA activities.
• Generate audit-ready reports for internal reviews and external regulatory bodies.

Must-Have Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in information systems, International Trade, or a related field
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with SAP or SAP GTS, specifically involving FTA process integration
• Strong understanding of SAP ERP workflows and FTA compliance processes
• Familiarity with U.S. trade agreements (e.g., USMCA, KORUS) and customs regulations
• Working knowledge of ABAP debugging and interface troubleshooting
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across cross-functional and multicultural teams

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:

• Experience with Material Management or Sales and Distribution modules will be helpful
• Experience working in the automotive or manufacturing industries
• Multiple SAP certifications (e.g., SD + GTS, MM + HANA, etc.)
• Experience with custom development in ABAP beyond basic debugging
• Prior involvement in global ERP standardization or coordination with international headquarters
• At least one relevant SAP certification (SD, MM, GTS, HANA, or ABAP)
• Proficiency in the Korean language

Team Culture:

• Highly collaborative and transparent environment, with open communication and cross-functional teamwork as core expectations.
• Primary communication happens through Microsoft Teams, emphasizing quick alignment, shared documentation, and real-time collaboration.
• Supportive and mentorship-oriented culture—while not a formal leadership role, the analyst is expected to guide junior team members and coach regional super users during UAT and training.
• Diverse, matrixed team structure including a Program Manager, SAP Functional Analysts (SD/MM & FI), a Technical Developer, and regional Super Users—creating a structured but cooperative environment.
• Strong emphasis on clear documentation and traceability, reinforcing a disciplined, process-oriented culture.
• Values adaptability, continuous learning, and open communication, making resistance to collaboration or unwillingness to learn a poor cultural fit.
