Job description

Join a well-established, private equity-backed technology group as it invests in building a new SAP Supply Chain and Manufacturing division.

With approximately 900 employees and revenues approaching €190 million, the business offers the financial strength and customer access of a major technology organisation—combined with the freedom and visibility of a newly established specialist team.

This is an opportunity to join at an early stage, influence how the division develops and progress quickly as the team grows.

The role

You will support or lead SAP PP and PP/DS workstreams across complex S/4HANA implementation and transformation programmes.

Depending on your experience, you will take responsibility for solution design, configuration and delivery while helping customers improve their production planning and manufacturing processes.

Your responsibilities

• Deliver SAP PP and PP/DS workstreams across S/4HANA programmes.
• Analyse production-planning requirements and translate them into effective SAP solutions.
• Design and configure SAP PP and PP/DS processes.
• Prepare and lead process and solution workshops.
• Support testing, documentation, training, deployment and cutover activities.
• Work closely with stakeholders across manufacturing, supply chain and IT.
• Contribute to the development of delivery methods and solution standards.
• Support and mentor junior colleagues at Senior Consultant level.
• Participate in presales and proposal activities where appropriate.

Your profile

• Professional experience working with SAP PP and/or PP/DS.
• Practical experience within SAP implementation or transformation projects.
• Understanding of end-to-end production-planning and manufacturing processes.
• Hands-on SAP configuration and customizing experience.
• Exposure to SAP S/4HANA.
• Strong analytical and communication skills.
• Independent, customer-focused working style.
• German and English language skills.

The opportunity

• Join a newly expanding SAP Supply Chain and Manufacturing division.
• Help shape its processes, culture and future direction.
• Gain greater responsibility and visibility than in a traditional delivery position.
• Work within a PE-backed organisation with an active growth strategy.
• Access established customers, investment and delivery infrastructure.
• Receive up to ten professional-development days per year.
• Benefit from flexible working hours and hybrid-working options.
• Receive 30 days’ annual leave and a strong wider benefits package.
• Access genuine progression towards workstream, project and team leadership.
