SAP EWM Consultant

We are expanding our warehouse management capability in the US, and we are seeking a consultant to lead EWM workstreams on our S/4HANA implementations for discrete manufacturers - from analyzing a client’s current warehouse operations, through system design and configuration, to on-site support at go-live. EWM is where SAP meets physical reality and as a trusted advisor to our clients, you will play a key role in establishing EWM as a growing service line within our US operations.

What you will do

• Analyze and map warehouse and logistics processes: inbound and outbound processing, internal movements, physical inventory, and RF-guided execution.
• Run workshops with client logistics teams - translating the physical reality of a warehouse into a system design its operators will actually accept.
• Design and configure SAP EWM (embedded in S/4HANA): storage types and activity areas, warehouse tasks and orders, wave management, and the RF framework.
• Model the warehouse in the system - storage bins and bin structures, staging areas, and work centers - and design the putaway and slotting strategies that decide where every pallet lands.
• Design picking, packing, and shipping: pick-path logic, handling-unit management, packing specifications, and the outbound handoff to carriers and transportation.
• Configure production supply for discrete manufacturers - staging and replenishing components to the line, where EWM meets PP and the shop floor.
• Ensure seamless integration of EWM with MM, PP, and SD to support end-to-end supply chain visibility and process alignment.
• Design and build the RF and print layer - mobile scanning workflows, screen logic, and barcode/label printing - that directly supports day-to-day warehouse operations.
• Write functional specifications, coordinate with our ABAP developers, test, and support go-lives on-site.
• Handle stock data migration and cutover, then support go-lives on-site: hypercare, key-user training, and standing on the shop floor when the first RF gun scans a real pallet.
• Help establish EWM as a service line in our growing US operation.

• 3+ years of SAP EWM experience - or strong WM experience with a deliberate move to EWM - including at least one full implementation.
• A real understanding of physical logistics in manufacturing: how goods actually move, and why warehouse staff ignore systems that were designed without them.
• Experience leading workshops and writing functional specifications.
• Strong, proactive communication across functional teams, customers, and partners.
• A bachelor’s degree in supply chain, engineering, computer science, business, or a related field or equivalent experience.
• High degree of professionalism, discretion, sound judgment, and resourcefulness, with the ability to independently navigate situations where established processes or guidance may be limited.
• Active military, transitioning service members, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.

• Varied project work with a high level of autonomy, in a growing company and a growing US operation.
• A corporate culture with plenty of freedom, individuality, flat hierarchies, and open communication across all levels.
• Structured development of your personal and specialist skills - including training and certification paths within the international ORBIS group.
• Competitive salary and benefits: medical, dental, life, and short/long-term disability insurance, vacation and sick leave, parental leave, 401(k) retirement plan, and tuition assistance.
