Assess cross-application impact across specifications, recipes, formulas, and dependent applications, protecting data quality and process compliance.

Coach junior functional consultants and communicate solution options, risks, and decisions clearly across technical and business stakeholders. What you bring: Demonstrable SAP PLM functional consulting experience in Recipe Management and/or Specification Management, ideally in a lead & architect capacity. Practical experience delivering SAP S/4HANA solutions, with S/4HANA 2022 experience strongly preferred. Strong understanding of SAP EHS/PLM specification structures, property trees, classifications, and authorization concepts. Experience with BRF, workflow/My Inbox, role/authorization design, and mass-maintenance solutions. Background in global R&D, consumer goods, food, or similarly compliance-intensive environments. Experience in Agile/Scrum and DevOps delivery, including BAU support and hypercare. Relevant SAP certification in S/4HANA, PLM, EHS, or Fiori (preferred, not mandatory).
