• Plan, coordinate, and support testing, rollouts, hyper‑care activities, and the successful transition into business‑as‑usual operations
• Ensure high data quality through root cause analysis, KPI definition, and the coordination of sustainable corrective and preventive actions
• Facilitate workshops and collaborate closely with business functions, IT, Process Owners, Data Owners, Data Stewards, and external partners
• Enhance data catalogs, business glossaries, metadata management, and governance documentation
• Contribute to global SAP, analytics, and digital transformation initiatives while ensuring scalable, architecture‑aligned data solutions

Your Profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Informatics, Computer Science, Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a comparable qualification
• Several years of professional experience in SAP Consulting, Master Data Management, Data Governance, SAP MDG, or Business Process Management
• Strong expertise in SAP MM and/or SAP SD, with hands‑on experience managing SAP master data and end‑to‑end business processes (e.g., Source‑to‑Pay or Order‑to‑Cash)
• Experience leading or coordinating SAP‑related projects and working at the interface between business and IT
• Solid understanding of Data Governance principles, Data Quality Management, and the translation of business requirements into technical solutions
• Technical understanding of SAP data models, interfaces, workflows, and customizing; experience with SAP S/4HANA and SAP MDG is an advantage
• Strong project management, stakeholder management, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across business and IT teams
• Structured, analytical, and self‑driven working style with a strong focus on execution and continuous improvement
• Experience working in international matrix organizations and excellent English skills; German language skills are a plus
• Familiarity with Celonis, Power BI, SAP BW, Databricks, data catalogs, or data quality tools is considered an advantage
