• Manage batch-related processes, shelf-life requirements (FEFO), quarantine, sampling, and stock-type changes in accordance with Quality Management decisions.

• Resolve integration issues between SAP EWM and external systems, including RFC queues, deliveries, and IDocs, as well as integrations with PP-PI and QM.

• Conduct root-cause analysis for recurring incidents and implement permanent solutions through established change-control procedures.

• Prepare functional specifications, test scripts, and validation evidence for system changes and enhancements.

• Follow ITIL-based incident, problem, and change management practices, along with applicable GxP change-control procedures.

• Collaborate with global, multi-time-zone teams, including business users, IT, quality assurance, compliance, and other SAP module consultants.

• Participate in rotational shifts and on-call support, including weekends and public holidays when critical P1/P2 incidents affect manufacturing operations.

Requirements:

• 5–7 years of relevant SAP experience, including strong hands-on expertise in SAP EWM.

• Experience supporting process-industry environments such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, life sciences, chemicals, food, or similar sectors.

• Strong knowledge of SAP EWM inbound and outbound processes, warehouse structures, process-oriented storage control, and the RF framework.

• Good understanding of batch management, shelf-life requirements, stock types, and EWM integration with Production Planning (PP) and Quality Management (QM).

• Hands-on experience troubleshooting RFC and system integration queues.

• Experience in at least one SAP production-support engagement; experience with a full-cycle implementation is preferred.

• Pharmaceutical or biotechnology warehouse experience, including cold-chain and controlled-temperature storage, is an advantage.

• Exposure to serialization and track-and-trace integrations is beneficial.

• Familiarity with GMP/GxP requirements and computer system validation is preferred.

• Working knowledge of PP-PI, QM, and MM modules is an advantage.
