• Drive fit-to-standard workshops and recommend S/4HANA solutions while identifying and managing required customisations and enhancements.

Required Experience

• 5+ years of SAP SD consulting experience, with strong hands‑on configuration and end-to-end O2C expertise.
• Proven experience delivering SAP ECC to S/4HANA migration or transformation projects, ideally in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of pricing, availability checks, deliveries, shipping, billing, output management and customer/business partner processes.
• Experience integrating SAP SD with FI, MM, PP and logistics, including EDI/IDoc or API-based integrations.
• Experience in industrial machinery, engineering, discrete manufacturing, Make-to-Order (MTO) or Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environments is highly desirable.
