- Guard the approved design: assess change requests, run fit-gap analysis, and keep site-specific needs within the standard template
- Drive EWM integration with S/4HANA (MM, SD, PP, QM) and with transportation (SAP TM, LE-TRA, transportation units, freight orders)
- Support RF/mobile, barcode, and automation (MFS) along with output management (PPF, BRF+)
- Write functional specifications and work with development teams on enhancements and fixes
- Plan and oversee unit, integration, and regression testing for fixes and template changes
- Mentor hub and field consultants and internal staff; build documentation and knowledge articles that improve each wave

- Working experience with EWM–TM / LE-TRA integration for transportation execution
- Proven ability to triage and resolve complex issues quickly in a live environment
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to guide others remotely and explain technical issues in plain terms
