Senior SAP Manufacturing Systems Analyst

Location: Holland, MI (Onsite – 4–5 days per week) (Relocation Available)

Overview

We are seeking a Senior SAP Manufacturing Systems Analyst to support and continuously improve SAP-enabled manufacturing operations in a high-volume production environment. This role is hands-on, operational, and highly collaborative with shop-floor teams. You will serve as the frontline IT partner for manufacturing, ensuring systems remain stable, usable, and aligned with how work actually gets done on the floor.

This is a senior individual contributor role, not a lead or people-management position. The focus is on day-to-day manufacturing support, operational improvements, and preparing the environment for a future SAP S/4HANA transition.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide day-to-day SAP manufacturing support in a live production environment

  • Partner directly with shop-floor operators, supervisors, and manufacturing leaders

  • Resolve production-impacting issues and ensure systems remain operational

  • Identify and deliver continuous improvement initiatives that simplify workflows and increase efficiency

  • Act as the primary liaison between manufacturing and IT, translating operational needs into system solutions

  • Support manufacturing execution, transactional processes, and reporting

  • Participate in testing, validation, and deployment of system changes

  • Collaborate with internal IT teams and vendors on fixes and enhancements

  • Contribute to readiness efforts for an upcoming SAP S/4HANA transformation

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience supporting manufacturing systems in a production environment

  • Functional experience supporting SAP ECC in manufacturing-related processes

  • Strong understanding of shop-floor operations and manufacturing workflows

  • Proven experience working directly with manufacturing users and leadership

  • Demonstrated ability to deliver operational and process improvements

  • Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Ability to work onsite in Holland, MI (manufacturing-facing role). Relocation and Sign-On Bonus are available for qualified candidates.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Exposure to SAP S/4HANA or ECC-to-S/4 transformation initiatives

  • Experience supporting custom MES or manufacturing front-end systems

  • Familiarity with manufacturing execution metrics such as scrap, rework, OEE, and quality codes (execution-level)

  • Experience across multiple SAP manufacturing-related areas (e.g., PP, MM, logistics)

  • Ability to read and understand ABAP logic at a high level (no development required)

What This Role Is Not

  • Not a Lead or Manager role

  • Not an ABAP developer position

  • Not a project-only or implementation-only role

  • Not a remote role

Why This Role

  • Direct impact on daily manufacturing operations

  • Strong partnership between IT and manufacturing teams

  • Stable environment with long-term investment in manufacturing systems

  • Opportunity to participate in a future SAP S/4HANA journey

  • Practical, hands-on role focused on real operational outcomes
