Job description

SAP Warehouse Management (WM) Functional Expertise:

• Look for candidates with strong hands-on SAP Warehouse Management (WM) functional consulting experience supporting warehouse operations, inventory management, receiving, storage, and material movement processes. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to translate business requirements into SAP WM solutions through configuration, testing, process improvement, and implementation support rather than focusing primarily on custom development or technical programming.

Full Lifecycle Implementation Experience:

• Prioritize candidates with a proven track record of successfully delivering at least two to three end-to-end SAP WM implementations. Candidates should be able to clearly articulate their involvement across the full project lifecycle, including requirements gathering, solution design, configuration, testing, user support, go-live activities, and post-production stabilization. Consistency and depth of implementation experience are more important than the total number of projects completed.

Business Process s Solution Design Capability:

• Seek candidates who can effectively partner with business stakeholders to understand operational requirements and recommend practical SAP WM solutions. Strong candidates will possess experience evaluating warehouse processes, documenting requirements, supporting solution design decisions, and ensuring system configurations align with business objectives.
• Look for candidates with experience leading or supporting system testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), issue resolution, and production support activities. Candidates should be comfortable identifying process gaps, troubleshooting functional issues, coordinating resolutions, and helping ensure stable warehouse operations during implementation and support phases.

Knowledge Transfer s Mentorship:

• The hiring manager is seeking an experienced consultant who can guide and support internal resources while providing practical SAP WM expertise. Prior experience mentoring users, transferring knowledge, assisting with user adoption, or serving as a trusted advisor to business and technical teams is highly valued.

Industry Experience:

• Candidates with food manufacturing, food processing, or broader food supply chain experience are strongly preferred. Experience supporting SAP WM environments within large manufacturing or distribution organizations is particularly relevant. Previous experience with Cargill or similar food industry organizations is highly desirable.

Communication s Collaboration:

• Target candidates who can communicate effectively across business and technical teams. Successful consultants will be able to explain SAP WM processes, provide implementation guidance, support decision-making, and collaborate with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

Practical Focus:

• Emphasize execution-oriented SAP WM consultants who can quickly contribute to an active implementation environment. The ideal candidate combines strong functional SAP WM knowledge with practical implementation experience, troubleshooting capability, and the ability to guide internal team members. While technical knowledge is beneficial, this role is not focused on heavy ABAP development or custom programming.
