- Lead customs tariff number (HTS/HS code) master data consolidation across five regional instances, aligning product classification across global markets
- Define integration architecture between S/4HANA feeder system and GTS for all relevant document flows: purchase orders, sales orders, outbound deliveries, goods movements, and billing documents

- Work with technical teams on ALE/IDoc interface mapping and interface changes arising from the ECC-to-S/4HANA conversion
