Job Description & Summary:  

Seeking a highly skilled Techno-Functional Lead to serve as the bridge between legacy IFS environment and new SAP S/4HANA digital core. Who will be the primary technical architect for the IFS data extraction workstream, responsible for translating legacy business logic into optimized SAP-ready data.

Responsibilities: 

1. Data Migration Leadership & Strategy 

• Workstream Ownership: Manage the end-to-end business data migration lifecycle, from initial extraction in IFS to providing a validated load file for the SAP team. 

• Stakeholder Coordination: Identify and manage Data Owners and Reconcilers across functional units (Finance, SCM, Manufacturing) ensure they understand their roles in the validation process. 

• Gap & Dependency Analysis: Map dependencies between data objects (e.g., ensuring Vendor migration precedes Purchase Order migration) and lead deep-dive sessions to resolve mapping conflicts. 

• Governance: Ensure all data migration activities comply with regulatory, security, and audit requirements. Manage the sign-off of Data Object Migration Specifications documents for all stndard & custom objects. 

2. Technical Execution (IFS & Extraction) 

• Legacy Extraction: Write and optimize complex SQL/PL-SQL queries to extract master and transactional data from IFS Oracle back-end tables. 

• Logic Translation: Document and reimagine complex custom logic, events, and IFS Lobbies that need to be transitioned or retired in the SAP environment. 

• ETL Management: Oversee the Extraction, Transformation, and Validation (ETL) of data objects, ensuring zero loss of integrity during the move from Oracle to the SAP HANA in-memory database. 

3. Functional Alignment & Testing 

• Data Cleansing: Partner with business stakeholders to identify issues in legacy data and drive cleansing activities to prevent migrating technical debt. 

• UAT Support: Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), assisting users in reconciling IFS legacy data. 

• Documentation: Maintain a rigorous Data Object Register and detailed mapping logic for future reference.
