About The Position

Join the Lockheed Martin Production Operations One Lockheed Martin Transformation (1LMX) Plan to Stock (PTS) Information Technology (IT) team as an IT Business Analyst (ITBA) supporting Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Shop Floor Integration (SFI / Apriso), and Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPDS) within our SAP S/4HANA ecosystem. This role drives the functional design and system integration that connects planning and scheduling to manufacturing execution, ensuring accurate data flow, optimized production schedules, and seamless shop floor operations. The successful candidate will apply strong SAP functional expertise and integration knowledge to align MRP, PPDS, and SFI/MES processes across production operations. They will partner closely with business process owners, developers, and system architects to design, configure, and implement solutions that improve visibility, scheduling accuracy, and operational efficiency. This position can be based at any Lockheed Martin location or performed fully remotely.
