SAP PP/QM Specialist (Freelance possible)

📋 Tasks and responsibilities

For this SAP role, the main focus is on production-related processes within a manufacturing environment, with a strong emphasis on SAP PE, QM and PPDS.

The role includes leading and supporting end-to-end SAP implementations across fit-gap analysis, system setup, functional design documentation, training, UAT, data collection and migration, go-live support, and final documentation. Close collaboration with logistics, controlling, procurement and other business domains is essential to ensure smooth process integration.

You work proactively with cross-functional stakeholders and other production team members to design robust, detailed and scalable processes. The assignment requires someone who can understand complex business processes, challenge stakeholders to clarify underlying needs, and translate those requirements into structured SAP solutions within both template-based and custom-built environments.

Additional responsibilities include supporting business users with clear communication, ensuring alignment across domains, and contributing to successful deployment activities in an international setting.

• PPDS: good understanding of Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling, with the ability to connect planning and execution processes.
• Experience with EWM integration is considered an advantage.
• Experience in greenfield implementations is a plus.
