Senior SAP EWM Functional Specialist - Manufacturing Integration

The Senior SAP EWM Functional Specialist - Manufacturing Integration is accountable for driving operational excellence through hands-on support, configuration, and optimization of SAP S/4HANA, with primary responsibility for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and its integration with manufacturing, including PP/PP-PI processes.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role. The successful candidate must be able to independently configure, troubleshoot, test, and support SAP EWM without relying on another senior functional resource. This is not a people-management, program-management, or solution-architecture position.

Deep EWM functional and configuration expertise is the primary requirement. Strong PP/PP-PI integration knowledge is required, while hands-on PP/PP-PI configuration experience will be considered a significant advantage.

This individual will lead day-to-day EWM execution, troubleshoot integration issues, implement practical improvements, and help evolve Alcami’s manufacturing and warehouse processes into a scalable, reliable operating model. On-Site Expectations 100% on-site position
