What we're looking for

Demonstrated experience with RISE with SAP, SAP BTP extensibility, and SAP AI capabilities, including clean‑core design and modern extension strategies.
Strong business process acumen across Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Commercial operations, with the ability to connect ERP design decisions to financial and operational outcomes.
