Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM) Consultant to support a large-scale SAP implementation within a manufacturing environment. This individual will serve as a key functional resource focused specifically on SAP Digital Manufacturing, supporting requirements gathering, solution configuration, testing, implementation, and post-go-live activities.

The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on SAP Digital Manufacturing configuration experience with a deep understanding of manufacturing and shop-floor processes. Candidates who began their careers in manufacturing, production, or shop-floor operations before transitioning into SAP implementations are especially well suited for this position.

This is a highly collaborative role requiring direct interaction with manufacturing, quality, production planning, warehouse, regulatory, validation, master data, and technical teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a hands-on functional resource for the implementation and configuration of SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM).
• Gather, analyze, and document manufacturing and business requirements through workshops and direct collaboration with shop-floor users and business stakeholders.
• Translate manufacturing requirements into SAP DM system configurations and functional solutions.
• Configure and support SAP DM functionality related to:
  • Plants, work centers, and resources
  • Production Process Design / Production Process Designer (PPD)
  • Production Operator Dashboards (PODs)
  • Data collection groups and parameters
  • Electronic signatures
  • Work instructions and operator guidance
  • Shop-floor execution
  • Order dispatching and production execution
  • Material consumption and goods receipt
  • Batch genealogy and material traceability
  • Labor tracking
  • Scrap and rework processing
  • Phase-based manufacturing execution
• Build and present system configurations, demonstrations, and proofs of concept to business and technical stakeholders.
• Support Electronic Batch Record (EBR) processes and digital execution of manufacturing activities.
• Develop AS-IS and TO-BE process maps for manufacturing and shop-floor workflows.
• Support integration between SAP Digital Manufacturing and SAP S/4HANA, including process orders, master recipes, BOMs, materials, production versions, inspection plans, batch management, and inventory transactions.
• Collaborate on integrations involving SAP QM, EWM, BTP, Cloud Connector, Integration Suite/CPI, APIs, and related manufacturing systems.
• Participate in system and integration testing, defect resolution, validation, user acceptance testing, and implementation readiness activities.
• Develop functional documentation, configuration documentation, process flows, work instructions, and other project deliverables.
• Support implementation activities through go-live and provide post-go-live/hypercare support as needed.
• Partner with manufacturing, quality, warehouse, production planning, regulatory, validation/CSV, master data, and IT teams throughout the implementation lifecycle.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with SAP Digital Manufacturing (SAP DM / SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud); 5+ years preferred, although candidates with less experience may be considered based on depth of expertise.
• Strong hands-on SAP DM configuration experience with the ability to independently own functional configuration activities.
• Strong understanding of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and shop-floor manufacturing processes.
• Experience with process and/or discrete manufacturing environments.
• Knowledge of production execution processes, including production/process orders, material consumption, goods receipt, work instructions, traceability, rework, and deviations.
• Strong requirements gathering, workshop facilitation, process mapping, and functional documentation skills.
• Ability to translate shop-floor and business requirements into functional SAP solutions.
• Experience developing and presenting system demonstrations, configurations, and proofs of concept.
• Understanding of integration between SAP Digital Manufacturing and SAP S/4HANA.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills with the ability to work effectively across business and technical teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Technology, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Ability to work onsite in Madison, WI.
• Ability to travel approximately 25%, primarily to sites in California and Arizona.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous hands-on experience working in manufacturing, production, or shop-floor operations prior to transitioning into SAP.
• SAP Quality Management (QM) integration experience.
• SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) experience.
• SAP BTP, Cloud Connector, Integration Suite/CPI, OAuth, API, or event-based integration knowledge.
• Experience with Electronic Batch Records (EBR) and electronic signatures.
• Experience with barcode/scanner integration and label printing.
• Experience with non-conformance management, quality inspections, deviations, and manufacturing traceability.
• Experience in pharmaceutical, medical device, life sciences, or another regulated manufacturing environment.
• Knowledge of FDA, GxP, ISO 13485, and/or Computer System Validation (CSV) requirements.
• Experience supporting a major SAP implementation through testing, go-live, hypercare, and post-go-live support.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is not a general ERP consultant. This position requires specific, hands-on SAP Digital Manufacturing experience combined with strong manufacturing process knowledge. The successful candidate will be comfortable working directly with shop-floor users, understanding how manufacturing processes operate in practice, gathering detailed requirements, and independently translating those requirements into SAP DM configurations and solutions.
