The SAP Functional Analyst is the IT owner of the SAP S/4HANA processes that run manufacturing and quality: Production Planning (PP), Quality Management (QM) and Production Planning & Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS).\nThe role is the link between the business and the system. You will work closely with Manufacturing, Quality and Supply Chain key users to understand how they work, keep the SAP solution stable and compliant, and improve it over time. That means resolving incidents, analyzing and designing changes, configuring the system, and making sure every change is properly tested, documented and validated before it reaches production.\nThis is a hands-on functional role in a regulated (GMP) manufacturing environment. You will not run the shop floor or the quality function yourself, but you need to understand them well enough to translate their needs into a reliable SAP solution and to challenge requirements where a better system approach exists.\nKey responsibilities\nApplication support and operations\nProvide functional support for SAP S/4HANA, with primary focus on QM, PP and PP/DS.\nSupport manufacturing and quality processes including production/process orders, master recipes, BOMs, work centers/resources, inspection lots, results recording, usage decisions and batch management.\nAnalyze incidents, perform root-cause analysis and resolve issues within agreed service levels, escalating to SAP technical resources or external partners where needed.\nProvide day-to-day support and guidance to Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Quality key users.\nPlanning and scheduling (PP/DS)\nSupport and optimize PP/DS planning and scheduling, including heuristics, planning runs, alerts and planning issues.\nManage master-data dependencies and the integration between PP/DS and core S/4HANA (orders, resources, recipes, stock and demand).\nChange and continuous improvement\nGather and analyze business requirements and define the appropriate SAP configuration or functional enhancement.\nTranslate requirements into functional specifications and coordinate development with SAP technical resources and external consultants.\nOwn SAP change requests end to end: impact assessment, configuration, functional and regression testing, UAT coordination and deployment to production.\nLead smaller SAP enhancements and improvement initiatives within the QM / PP / PP-DS area, and contribute to larger projects and rollouts.\nCompliance, documentation and training\nFollow GMP and computerized-system validation (CSV) requirements, including change control, test evidence and deviation handling for SAP changes.\nMaintain functional documentation, SOP-related system documentation and end-user training material.\nTrain key users and end users on new and changed functionality.\nMinimum requirements\nBS/BA degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Supply Chain, Life Sciences or equivalent relevant education.\nMinimum 5 years of SAP functional experience, preferably within SAP PP, QM and/or PP/DS.\nExperience supporting SAP S/4HANA in a productive manufacturing environment.\nHands-on configuration experience in at least one of PP, QM or PP/DS.\nGood understanding of manufacturing, quality and production-planning processes.\nStrong analytical, problem-solving and stakeholder-management skills.\nFluent written and spoken English.\nPreferred qualifications\nExperience in a GMP-regulated industry (pharmaceutical, biotech or medical devices) and with computer-system validation.\nExperience with process manufacturing (process orders, master recipes, batch management).\nKnowledge of related modules and integrations, e.g. MM, WM/EWM, PM and MES or LIMS interfaces.\nExperience working with external SAP partners and an ITIL-based support model.\nSAP certification in PP, QM or PP/DS.\nPersonal attributes\nTakes ownership of issues and follows them through to resolution.\nCommunicates clearly with both business users and technical teams.\nStructured and detail-oriented, with a strong sense for quality and compliance.\nComfortable balancing day-to-day support with improvement work.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4208,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
