ROLE SUMMARY
We are hiring an SAP Production Planning (PP) Consultant to own the Manufacturing workstream on GROW with SAP programs. You will take mid-market manufacturers onto SAP Best Practice production processes in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition — from Fit-to-Standard through go-live — with a strong clean-core, adopt-not-adapt mindset.

Key Responsibilities
Fit-to-Standard: Facilitate Fit-to-Standard workshops for the Manufacturing line of business in the Starter system; document requirements, gaps and configuration decisions in SAP Cloud ALM.
Configuration: Configure manufacturing scope in SAP Central Business Configuration across the 3-system landscape — make-to-stock and make-to-order production, production order processing, rework, subcontracting and Kanban scope items as applicable.
Planning processes: Set up demand management, MRP (including predictive MRP where in scope) and capacity evaluation; tune planning parameters with the customer's planners.
Master data: Define and validate manufacturing master data — material masters, BOMs, work centers, routings and production versions — and lead its migration via the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit.
Cross-stream integration: Ensure clean integration with Sourcing & Procurement, Inventory/Warehouse and Quality Management scope items, and with Finance for production costing and Margin Analysis.
Testing & cutover: Author and execute manual and automated test cases (Test Automation Tool); support UAT, cutover rehearsal and hypercare on the shop-floor calendar.
Innovation adoption:



Enable customers on Joule supply-chain capabilities (e.g. backorder processing runs, delivery and stock operations) and embedded manufacturing analytics; drive adoption of current scope with each half-yearly release.
AMS: Provide L2/L3 support and continuous improvement for live manufacturing customers.

Deep understanding of discrete/repetitive manufacturing processes, MRP logic and capacity planning.
Experience with SAP Best Practice scope items and the fit-to-standard delivery model (SAP Activate).
Manufacturing industry depth — automotive, engineering, chemicals or industrial products preferred, aligned to our client base.
Ability to work with shop-floor and planning teams as comfortably as with CXOs.

Preferred / Nice to Have
Exposure to embedded EWM/Inventory Management scope in the public edition.
Key-user extensibility (custom fields/logic, custom CDS analytics) within clean-core guardrails.
Familiarity with Joule and AI-assisted supply-chain scenarios.
