Job Summary

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.

• 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.
