As the founding member of a small, senior tiger team, you will recruit and lead the three specialists who join you., * Preparing the SAP ECC core for S/4HANA - sequencing and de-risking the transition through working software, while shipping high-impact improvements to the current landscape now. * Once S4 goes live, you stay and own support and continuous improvements to a value stream in S4. * Operating hands-on across SAP Supply Chain & Logistics (MM, IM, PP, LE/WM), close to manufacturing and the shop floor, and bridging functional configuration with code. * Recruiting and leading a small, senior squad (Finance, Sales / Order-to-Cash, and Developer), setting the standard for extreme ownership and AI-native ways of working. ## Related Videos - [Headless by Design: Building Enterprise Systems That Agents Can Actually Use](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100092-headless-by-design-building-enterprise-systems-that-agents-can-actually-use) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [When AI Runs the Business: The Reality of Enterprise-Wide Automation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100124-when-ai-runs-the-business-the-reality-of-enterprise-wide-automation) - [Inside Mercedes-Benz: How CIO Katrin Lehmann is Empowering 5,000 Developers and Driving Digital Change](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1360-inside-mercedes-benz-how-cio-katrin-lehmann-is-empowering-5-000-developers-and-driving-digital-change) - [AI is dead, long live AK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1093-ai-is-dead-long-live-ak) - [Angstfreude - AI and Corporate Culture - The Thrill and the Threat](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100354-angstfreude-ai-and-corporate-culture-the-thrill-and-the-threat) ## Related Articles - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Welcome to Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/4-welcome-to-switzerland) - [Best Companies to Work For in Berlin: Top 14 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/188-best-companies-to-work-for-in-berlin-top-14-companies-in-2023)
