Must have skills : SAP EWM
Good to have skills : NA
Minimum 15 Year(s) Of Experience Is Required
Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education
Summary:
As an SAP EWM Consultant, you will hold design authority and delivery accountability for the process area, leading multiple workstreams through their Managers while remaining personally hands-on on the hardest design and configuration for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) within the Supply chain & logistics tower of the DRS SAP programme. The role exists to own warehouse execution in SAP EWM, where configuration decisions translate directly into travel distance, wave completion times and dock turnaround.
You carry delivery risk for the process area and are expected to enter a drifting workstream, establish an evidenced position and reset the plan. You remain hands-on: the most difficult design and configuration work is yours, as is the review gate before work leaves the process area. Quality, defect trend and release readiness sit with you, together with the AI standard and the technical development of the Managers you lead.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Scope & Decision Rights: Hold design authority for the process area and remain hands-on. The hardest design calls are taken by you personally, and you prove the pattern before the team builds to it. You approve decisions that carry downstream cost, hold the review gate on work leaving the process area, set the quality gates Managers deliver to, and own the delivery risk position reported to programme governance.
Warehouse Structure & Storage Control: Configure warehouse structure, storage types, sections, bins and activity areas, and design process-oriented and layout-oriented storage control for the physical layout in scope.
Putaway, Removal & Wave Management: Configure putaway and stock removal strategies, warehouse order creation rules and wave management so that work reaches the floor in executable packages.
RF & Shop-Floor Execution: Configure the RF framework and mobile transactions, including the screen flow used by operators, and resolve execution problems observed on the floor as well as in configuration.
Inbound, Outbound & Physical Inventory: Configure inbound and outbound delivery processing, packing and handling unit management, and physical inventory including cycle counting.
Integration & Dependencies: Work with Inventory Management for stock accuracy, with Order Management and Returns for delivery flow, with Transportation Management for loading and with Production for staging where relevant.
Solution & Delivery Governance: Own solution design and delivery quality across the process area: set the design standards, approve decisions carrying downstream cost, and hold accountability for delivery risk, defect trend and release readiness across workstreams.
Delivery Recovery Leadership: Lead recovery of stressed workstreams, including wave processing or RF execution degrading during peak and holding up outbound shipments: establish an evidenced position, re-plan, reallocate, remove the structural cause and report a defensible trajectory to programme leadership.
AI-Native Delivery Standards & Joule Governance: Define how AI is applied across the process area, including AI-assisted warehouse design review, throughput and bottleneck analysis and automated regression coverage govern the accelerator library, set validation and IP controls, and report productivity and quality outcomes. Set the standard for SAP Joule for Consultants use and the governance of its grounding content, and decide where a Joule agent is warranted against standard configuration, holding the specification and acceptance standard with the AI and AIDLC tower.
Mentoring & Capability Building: Develop the Managers who lead the workstreams: run design reviews as teaching, pair on configuration they have not done before, and codify the resulting patterns so the capability outlives the individual. Set the technical standard across the process area and own succession for its scarce skills.
Executive & Client Engagement: Represent the process area in client leadership and programme governance forums, defend design decisions, and negotiate scope and timeline against capacity.
Professional & Technical Skills:
Must-Have Skills
EWM Configuration: Design authority over EWM warehouse structure, storage control, putaway and removal strategies and warehouse order creation rules.
Embedded or Decentralised EWM: Extensive experience delivering EWM in embedded or decentralised deployment, including the delivery distribution and queue behaviour that goes with it.
RF Framework: Design authority over the RF framework and mobile execution, including screen and logical transaction design.
Handling Units & Packing: Expert-level expertise in HU management, packing specifications and packaging material configuration.
Physical Inventory: Extensive experience configuring and supporting physical inventory and cycle counting in a live warehouse.
Operational Judgement: Proven capability to work with warehouse operations and translate floor-level issues into configuration change.
Hands-On Technical Depth: Current, hands-on command of the primary skill. This is a working design authority role, not an oversight role: the hardest configuration in the process area is expected to be done by the post-holder.
Hands-On Currency: Hands-on configuration or design-level build work on the primary skill within the last 24 months. Advisory, pre-sales, governance or oversight-only experience during that period does not satisfy this requirement. Where recent experience is advisory, a technical validation forms part of selection.
Technical Mentoring & Capability Building: Demonstrated development of Managers and senior engineers through design review, pairing and codified patterns, evidenced by capability the team retained rather than output the individual delivered.
AI-Enabled Delivery Leadership: Demonstrated definition of AI standards across an SAP delivery team or tower, including validation controls, accelerator ownership and measured productivity outcomes.
Evidence of AI Adoption: Demonstrable record of raising delivery productivity through AI or equivalent means: AI assistant adoption, delivery accelerators, reference architectures or codified playbooks built for reuse across teams, with measurable effect on throughput or quality.
Multi-Workstream Delivery & Recovery: Demonstrated leadership across multiple SAP workstreams, including at least one engagement behind plan or under quality pressure, with personal accountability for the recovery.
Executive Stakeholder Management: Credible in client leadership forums, with demonstrated capability to make and defend design and delivery decisions under incomplete information and commercial pressure.
Good to Have Skills
Material Flow System (MFS) for warehouse automation
Decentralised EWM conversion or upgrade projects
Labour management and resource optimisation
Warehouse robotics and SAP Digital Manufacturing touchpoints

Solution and delivery leadership across multiple full lifecycle SAP programmes, including at least one recovery or high-pressure delivery situation.
