Urgent C2C Hiring – SAP TM Architect – Atlanta, GA

Role:                               SAP TM Architect
Location:                     Atlanta, GA (Hybrid)
Duration:                     Long Term Project
Experience:               15+

Job Role and Responsibilities:
We are looking for a hands-on SAP Transportation Management Solution Architect to lead the end-to-end solution design for a decentralized SAP TM implementation at one of the largest CPG consortiums in North America. This is a greenfield SAP TM deployment.

End-to-end SAP TM solution architecture for a decentralized (side-by-side) deployment on S/4HANA, including integration architecture with core ERP (S/4HANA)
Blueprint and design workshops — you will lead these sessions directly with Client transportation business leads
Technical design decisions: carrier tendering strategy (waterfall, broadcast, spot), freight settlement calculation sheets, dock scheduling configuration, and event-driven execution
Integration architecture for SAP BTP (Integration Suite, BN4L for carrier collaboration, Event Mesh, API Management)
Carrier onboarding strategy design: BN4L registration, EDI 204/990/214/210 mapping, and portal/email fallback for regional DSD carriers
Distance/duration determination architecture using PC Miler (FTL) and SMC3 (LTL)
Master data migration strategy from E2Open (carriers, lanes, rates, freight agreements, zones)

RISE with SAP compatibility — ensuring all design decisions are clean-core compliant (BAdI/BRF+, no Z-programs)
Technical mentorship of 2-3 offshore TM functional and technical consultants
Solution quality gate reviews at each iCaptivate phase (Foundation, Build, Testing, Cutover)

**Must Have Experience**

3+ full-lifecycle SAP TM implementations as Solution Architect or Lead Functional Consultant — at least one on S/4HANA (not just ECC with LE-TRA)
Deep configuration-level expertise in SAP TM: freight order management, carrier selection/tendering, freight settlement (calculation sheets, rate tables, charge calculation), transportation planning, and event management
Hands-on experience with SAP BTP Integration Suite and BN4L (Business Network for Logistics) — carrier collaboration, freight order tendering via BN4L, tracking event integration
Integration design experience: ERP-to-TM integration via DRFOUT, SOAP/XI web services, and middleware configuration (RFC destinations, SOA Manager, DRF config)

EDI integration for carrier communication — 204 (Load Tender), 990 (Response), 214 (Status), 210 (Invoice) mapping and testing
Master data design: business partners (carrier-specific settings, SCAC codes), locations, transportation zones/lanes, freight agreements, and equipment/vehicle types
Ability to lead design workshops independently with senior business stakeholders — translate business requirements into SAP TM configuration decisions on the spot
Experience with distance/duration determination setup (PC Miler, SMC3, or equivalent map provider integration)
Understanding of Z-program regression testing implications in version-mismatch scenarios between decentral TM and core S/4HANA

**Highly Preferred**

SAP TM optimizer configuration (MILP-based planning, multi-stop FTL, consolidation)
Fiori launchpad and Transportation Cockpit configuration for role-based UX (dispatcher, planner, analyst personas)
Rail freight exposure — Rule 11 interline billing, intermodal TOFC/COFC, railcar management.
Multi-entity / multi-org-unit TM configuration — designing a solution that serves on a shared platform with different carrier relationships, rate structures, and business rules
SAP Event Management integration for real-time shipment tracking
Experience with FourKites, project44, or similar visibility platform integration via BN4L
RISE with SAP migration awareness — designing for clean core from Day 1
SAP TM certification (C_TM_95 or equivalent).”
