SAP PP/QM/PM Senior Consultant

SAP Manufacturing & Enterprise Asset Management Senior Consultant

The role

As an SAP Manufacturing & Enterprise Asset Management Senior Consultant, you will help clients design and implement SAP solutions supporting their manufacturing, quality and/or plant maintenance operations.

• SAP Production Planning (PP / PP-PI)
• SAP Quality Management (QM)
• SAP Plant Maintenance / Enterprise Asset Management (PM/EAM)
• SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP)

You are not expected to be an expert across all of these modules. We are looking for strong functional expertise in at least one core area, combined with an understanding of how your area integrates with the wider SAP landscape. You will work on S/4HANA greenfield implementations and rollouts, taking ownership of functional design and project deliverables within your module.

What you will do

As a Senior Consultant, you will:

• Design and implement SAP solutions in your functional specialism, such as PP/PP-PI, QM, PM/EAM or IBP.
• Analyse clients' existing manufacturing, quality or maintenance processes and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Lead or contribute to business-process design and define future ("to-be") processes.
• Translate business requirements into SAP functional designs and system requirements.
• Advise clients on appropriate solutions based on their operational requirements and SAP best practices.
• Configure and/or support the implementation of SAP solutions within your functional area.
• Participate throughout the implementation lifecycle, including requirements gathering, design, configuration, testing, training, deployment and go-live.
• Work on SAP S/4HANA greenfield implementations and/or international rollouts.
• Lead workshops with business and IT stakeholders to gather requirements, present solutions and support decision-making.
• Produce functional specifications, process designs, test documentation, training materials and other project documentation.
• Manage and review the deliverables of team members working within your module, ensuring that work is completed on time and to the required quality.
• Work with consultants from other SAP modules to ensure that processes and integrations work effectively end to end.
