Kinaxis Consultant/Supply Chain Functional Consultant

You will drive the functional and process side of Kinaxis implementations (RapidResponse / Maestro). Your focus is understanding and improving supply-chain planning processes (Demand, Supply, Forecasting, S&OP, Inventory, Replenishment), translating business needs into clear requirements, enabling business readiness, running/assisting testing, and supporting functional configuration.

Youll be the key link between business stakeholders (Planning, Operations, Logistics) and technical/solution teams.

Key responsibilities

• Partner with business stakeholders to understand current planning processes, pain points, KPIs, and improvement goals across demand, supply, inventory, and S&OP cycles.

• Facilitate workshops for functional design; gather and document requirements (process flows, fit/gap analysis, user stories, functional specifications).

• Support functional configuration activities in Kinaxis (e.g., demand forecasting, supply planning modules), including data mapping and master data validation.

• Collaborate with solution architects, integration, and data teams to ensure interfaces and data flows meet business requirements.

• Support testing: unit, integration, and UAT—create test scenarios/scripts, validate outputs, document defects, and confirm business logic is correct.

• Deliver training and documentation; support change management and user adoption for new planning processes.

• Translate business challenges (e.g., forecast inaccuracy, high variability, slow planning cycles) into process improvements and system requirements, recommending best-practice approaches.

Requirements / skills

• 2–5+ years in supply-chain planning and related areas (Demand Planning, Forecasting, Supply Planning, S&OP, Inventory/Replenishment, Operations Planning).

• Strong knowledge of supply-chain planning concepts: demand planning, forecasting, MRP/consumption-based planning, supply & capacity planning, inventory management.

• Proven experience with requirements gathering, process analysis, and documentation (process mapping, functional specs, gap analysis).

• Strong communication and stakeholder management—able to speak business and translate needs to technical teams.

• Exposure to enterprise planning systems (Kinaxis preferred; ERP/planning tools also relevant).

• Hands-on experience supporting UAT, data validation, master data topics, and end-user training/change management.

Why this role matters

Successful implementations depend on clear processes, accurate requirements, consistent master data, and strong user adoption. This role ensures the Kinaxis solution fits real business needs and delivers measurable planning value.
