While the primary focus will initially center on supporting our core ERP system (specifically Sales & Distribution), you will progressively expand your scope to cover broader applications, warehouse platforms, and continuous system enhancements down the line.

Key Responsibilities

• Application Support & Maintenance: Provide daily functional, reporting, and operational support to system users, addressing application issues and ensuring seamless supply chain operations.
• SAP SD Leadership: Serve as a subject matter expert for the Sales & Distribution (SD) module, assisting with configuration, order‑to‑cash workflows, and user support.

• Process Improvement: Identify system bottlenecks and suggest software improvements to streamline daily operations across warehousing and distribution.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands‑on experience in SAP logistics modules, with a specific, strong focus on SAP SD (Sales & Distribution).
• Warehouse Systems (Bonus): Direct experience with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS/EWM) or warehouse automation/integration projects is highly desirable.

• Technical Integration: Basic understanding of middleware platforms, APIs, or system integration concepts.
• Supply Chain Knowledge: Strong foundational understanding of core supply chain processes (order‑to‑cash, distribution, replenishment, and demand planning).

Practical Requirements & Soft Skills

• Location & Mobility: Ability to split work locations between the Dublin 1 city centre office and a primary warehouse facility near Dublin Airport. A full driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle are strongly preferred due to location access.
• Notice Period: Availability to start quickly (short notice period preferred).
• Problem‑Solving & Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to bridge the gap between technical teams and everyday business users.
• Proactivity: Self‑driven with a continuous improvement mindset and high operational accuracy.
• Work Authorisation: Must hold existing, unrestricted full right to work in Ireland without sponsorship (EU Citizen, Stamp 4, or Stamp 1G Spousal ONLY).
