Job Summary

At Alcami, we deliver reliable solutions that unlock the potential of transformative medicines from discovery to commercialization, through trusted partnership with our clients, recognized industry expertise and proven regulatory track record.

Are you interested in joining our team?

The Senior SAP EWM Functional Specialist - Manufacturing Integration is accountable for driving operational excellence through hands-on support, configuration, and optimization of SAP S/4HANA, with primary responsibility for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and its integration with manufacturing, including PP/PP-PI processes.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role. The successful candidate must be able to independently configure, troubleshoot, test, and support SAP EWM without relying on another senior functional resource. This is not a people-management, program-management, or solution-architecture position.

Deep EWM functional and configuration expertise is the primary requirement. Strong PP/PP-PI integration knowledge is required, while hands-on PP/PP-PI configuration experience will be considered a significant advantage.

This individual will lead day-to-day EWM execution, troubleshoot integration issues, implement practical improvements, and help evolve Alcami's manufacturing and warehouse processes into a scalable, reliable operating model.

On-Site Expectations

• Configure, support, and optimize SAP EWM processes including inbound/outbound, staging, goods issue/receipt, batch handling, replenishment, physical inventory, warehouse structure, storage types, warehouse process types, putaway and stock-removal strategies, warehouse tasks/orders, and production supply processes.
• Support end-to-end manufacturing integration with SAP PP/PP-PI, including process-order staging, component consumption, goods issue, finished-goods receipt, warehouse-to-production movements, production supply areas, and resolution of EWM/PP inventory and staging inconsistencies.
• Work directly with warehouse supervisors, production teams, quality, and supply chain to resolve day-to-day operational issues and implement practical system improvements.
• Personally troubleshoot and resolve EWM and PP/PP-PI integration issues, including stock inconsistencies, staging failures, batch problems, goods-movement errors, warehouse-task failures, and production-execution issues.
• Gather requirements, personally perform functional configuration changes, and deliver enhancements focused on improving warehouse execution, inventory accuracy, and production readiness.
• Own EWM-related incidents and enhancements from intake through resolution, including root cause analysis, hands-on system diagnosis, configuration, testing, and documentation.
• Partner with ABAP and integration resources to define functional specifications for reports, interfaces, and Fiori apps tied to warehouse and manufacturing execution.
• Personally execute and support unit testing, integration testing, and UAT, and actively drive defects through resolution.
• Create and maintain functional documentation, SOPs, and provide training to business users.
• Ensure processes meet cGMP/GxP requirements and support validation activities as needed.
• Drive continuous improvement by reducing manual workarounds, strengthening process discipline, and improving system adoption across warehouse and manufacturing operations.
• Support ongoing SAP stabilization efforts and future warehouse optimization initiatives.
• Other duties as assigned.
