📋 Description

• Run Agentic Process Workshops: Lead structured workshops with customer process owners across core manufacturing value chains (Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, Source-to-Contract, and Plan-to-Manufacture). • Separate standard habits from true human-in-the-loop requirements and identify decision points an agent can own. • Adapt Requirements into Agentic Flows: Turn messy spreadsheets, email threads, and tribal knowledge into structured agentic flows. • Determine what the standard Persona Agent covers versus what needs custom engineering, and produce defensible work estimates up front. • Architect Integrated Solutions: Own the technical design of the deployment, including integration across ERP systems (QAD and non-QAD), PLM, EDI, email, and sourcing tools (e.g., Ariba, Coupa). • Perform light prototyping on-site to de-risk complex elements quickly. • Build End-to-End with the FDE Team: Stay embedded with the offshore FDE engineering team through the entire build phase. • Pair on hard technical problems, resolve ambiguity, adjust designs live, and maintain strong customer relationships through go-live. • Drive Go-Live & Continuous Feedback: Run UAT against pre-defined evaluation metrics, measure the attributed value delta post-launch, and capture reusable components/accelerators to speed up future customer builds.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong working understanding of modern AI agents, including LLMs, tool/function calling, RAG, autonomy, and human-in-the-loop design patterns. • Proven experience leading customer-facing workshops or discovery sessions with enterprise stakeholders (e.g., Heads of Procurement or Supply Chain). • Demonstrated ability to architect integrated enterprise solutions (ERPs, enterprise data flows, and contextualizing AI with customer data). • Hands-on technical depth to prototype and pair credibly with software engineers (ability to read, shape, and unblock code). • Working fluency in at least two major enterprise value chains: Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Order-to-Cash (O2C), Source-to-Contract (S2C), or Plan-to-Manufacture (P2M).

🏖️ Benefits
