The program focuses on several key process areas including Finance, Source to Pay (procurement and vendor mgmt.), Plan to Fulfil (manufacturing and distribution), Lead to Cash (sales order processing and payment) as well as Quality & Food Safety.

Operating within our modern cloud ecosystem—built on SAP BTP (including CAP applications), HANA DB, SAP Datasphere, and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)—you will help translate functional quality requirements into technical agile stories, coordinate testing across applications and data pipelines, and keep project teams aligned through disciplined coordination and presentation.

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Facilitate smooth communication between technical developers, data engineers, and regional Quality/Food Safety partners


• Champion high standards of knowledge management to secure the long-term value of SAP solutions, including documentation, training, and best practice sharing.
