SAP Inventory to Delivery Lead

Moderna • Princeton, NJ

2d • $142,500 - $256,500 • Hybrid

About The Position

Moderna is seeking a SAP Inventory-to-Delivery Lead to design, scale, and support global logistics execution, inventory movement, 3PL integration, warehouse connectivity, cold chain distribution, transportation integration, and compliant delivery operations across SAP S/4HANA and connected digital platforms. This role will support Moderna’s commercial, clinical, and international distribution capabilities across the US, Europe, APAC, and other global markets. The role will partner closely with Supply Chain, Logistics, Warehouse Operations, Quality, Manufacturing, Commercial, Finance, Digital, 3PL partners, carriers, couriers, transportation providers, and external warehouse management system providers. The ideal candidate will bring strong SAP Logistics Execution and SAP SD-LE experience, with depth in outbound delivery processing, inventory management, batch management, warehouse and 3PL integration, EDI/IDoc troubleshooting, cold chain distribution, courier/carrier integration, GxP compliance, and validated system delivery. This is not a narrow SAP configuration role. It is a broader logistics technology leadership opportunity for someone who wants to help shape Moderna’s global Inventory-to-Delivery digital capabilities across SAP and non-SAP platforms. Moderna’s distribution and logistics ecosystem continues to expand across products, markets, partners, warehouses, carriers, couriers, and geographies. As the business scales globally, Moderna needs strong SAP Inventory-to-Delivery leadership across the full flow from inventory availability through delivery creation, warehouse execution, picking, packing, batch determination, shipment, carrier/courier handoff, proof of delivery, inventory reconciliation, and downstream operational visibility. This role will help shape how SAP S/4HANA, external warehouse management systems, 3PL platforms, transportation providers, courier networks, middleware, EDI, IDocs, analytics platforms, and AI-enabled capabilities work together as a scalable global logistics ecosystem. The successful candidate will also help Moderna prepare for future SAP and digital logistics capabilities, including SAP S/4HANA upgrades, SAP Business Network for Logistics, SAP BTP, integration modernization, intelligent exception management, SAP Joule, SAP Business AI, automation, analytics, and improved supply chain visibility.
