What You’ll Do

• Lead hands‑on functional configuration and design for SAP EAM, including PM/SM and PS modules.

• Manage engagement risks and economics, including planning, budgeting, accounts receivable, defining deliverable content, and securing buy‑in for proposed solutions from business owners.
• Guide and validate complex fit/gap analysis and design decisions, ensuring that any deviations from standard functionality are well‑justified and provide positive value.
• Provide expert consulting services for both new implementations and ongoing support projects.
• Offer ad‑hoc training and user support as needed to empower end‑users.
• Work autonomously and independently, often serving as a subject matter mentor to more junior team members.

Required Qualifications
