Product and Application Manager SAP EWM / MM (f/m/d)

  • Cologne

Job description

At the centre is the further development of SAP-supported logistics processes – with a clear focus on EWM and the adjacent MM processes.

What matters is not the rollout, but the functioning day-to-day operations.
Systems must run stably, be supported by the business, and evolve in parallel.

Specifically, this includes:

  • Ensuring stable, traceable and robust system operation
  • Structuring and consolidating requirements from business units, locations and contractual frameworks
  • Translating technical requirements into actionable solutions with clear prioritisation
  • Driving decision-making – even amidst competing interests
  • Support for implementation through to actual use in day-to-day operations
  • The role deliberately moves between the business department, IT and external partners.
  • Differing expectations are the norm in this regard, not the exception.

What you can expect from us

  • A permanent, full-time position in a stable environment
  • Career prospects within a growing team
  • Structured induction
  • Flexible working hours (06:30–21:00, with no core hours)
  • Possibility of mobile working
  • Internal and external training
  • A modern working environment with good transport links and parking facilities 

Your tasks include

  • Responsibility for the further development of the SAP solutions in the EWM/MM area across the entire lifecycle – from requirement to stable operation
  • Recording, organising and evaluating requirements in terms of benefits, feasibility and impact on existing processes
  • Translation of functional requirements into concrete implementation packages (e.g. user stories, epics, functional concepts)
  • Planning and control of (sub-)projects – from initialisation to productive use
  • Coordination and management of external service providers, with a clear focus on the quality of results and integration into the existing system landscape 
    Ensure that further development and day-to-day operations remain effectively integrated – including prioritisation, dependencies and release planning
  • Active role at the interface between the business unit, IT and operational sites – with a focus on feasibility in day-to-day operations 

What you bring with you

The focus is on the ability to record SAP requirements in a structured manner, assess them from a technical perspective and ensure they are consistently implemented.

We are not looking for a generalist, but for someone with proven experience in the relevant field.

The following are required:

  • Several years of proven experience with SAP EWM in implementation, operation or further development (incl. customising)
  • Safe handling of adjacent processes in SAP MM
  • In-depth knowledge of core EWM processes (goods receipt,
  • storage, order picking, dispatch, returns, inventory management
  • Experience in the autonomous management of requirements and their translation into actionable solutions
  • Practical experience in project management (agile, hybrid or traditional)

Mandatory:

Experience gained from projects or roles in the field of
Bundeswehr or public authorities with a comparable structure
Defence or armaments industry
Multi-agency or cross-organisational logistics
Without this context, a key element of the role is missing.

Candidates are expected to have a clear understanding of:

  • Coordinated and regulated process landscapes
    high standards for accountability and documentation
  • Collaboration with various stakeholders in structured organisations

Additionally required:

  • Completed degree in business administration, business informatics or comparable qualification
  • Excellent communication skills at all levels
  • C2-level German language skills
