Be more than a consultant. Be a supply chain specialist, innovator, and trusted partner.

Join The Config Team as a Solution Architect (SAP PP/DS) and be a part of one of the leading consultancies in SAP!

The Company

At The Config Team, we’re not a typical corporate consultancy, and we’re not a generic SAP/IT Consultancy. We are experts in SAP supply chain, and we do it exceptionally well. With 30+ years of experience and our own suite of products (like PreBilt for EWM), we help global brands create smarter, faster, more resilient supply chains.

What You’ll Do

• Act as the Solution Architect across multiple SAP projects, ensuring successful design, build, configure and delivery.
• Be a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, clearly articulating SAP PP/DS functionality and the impact of design choices.
• Lead and guide internal teams across solution design, testing, documentation, training, and customer go-lives.
• Own and drive the creation of blueprints, functional specs, and end-to-end solution design.
• Provide strategic advice on SAP architecture, system changes, and process improvements.
• Represent The Config Team at customer workshops, requirement gathering sessions, and pre-sales engagements.
• Work closely with our technical teams to shape bespoke system changes and integrations.
• Take ownership of quality, risks, and scope on large or complex SAP initiatives.
• Support continuous improvement, innovation, and internal knowledge-sharing initiatives.
• Get involved in recruitment, mentoring, and identifying opportunities to grow our offering within existing customers.

Why This Role is Different

• Pure Supply Chain Focus – Join a team where everyone around you is an SAP supply chain expert. No distractions, no dilution — just depth in the field you care about most.
• Beyond Consulting – Influence and implement our own accelerators (PreBilt, CodingControl, IMC) alongside client solutions. You’ll solve problems and scale them globally.
• Boutique with Global Reach – Enjoy the close-knit culture of a family run specialist firm, backed by international delivery capability and blue-chip clients.
• Real Visibility & Ownership – Your solutions will be milestones, valued, and help shape both client outcomes and our growing UK practice.
• Work That Fits Your Life – With flexibility, sensible travel, and a culture that genuinely values balance, we’re proving you don’t have to burn out to deliver brilliant work.

What You Bring

• Deep knowledge of S/4HANA, Fiori, CIF, heuristics, and PP/DS optimizers.
• Proven track record of leading multiple full SAP project life cycles.
• Expert in complex solution design and configuration within SAP PP/DS.
• Excellent understanding of manufacturing planning processes and SAP module integration.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Flexible, hybrid working.
• The chance to shape solutions and influence product innovation.
• A values-driven culture, recognised with a 4.8/5 Glassdoor rating and Investors in People Gold accreditation.
• A role where your expertise has visibility, impact on milestone projects and room to grow.
