How you will make an impact:
- Plan and lead discovery workshops and site walk-throughs across inbound, storage, picking, packing, outbound, yard and transport.
- Map current-state operations and KPIs: order cycle time, pick productivity, inventory accuracy, dock-to-stock time, OTIF, freight cost per unit, truck utilization, empty miles.
- Turn findings into a clear problem statement and prioritized improvement opportunities.
- Build phased roadmaps for SAP EWM, SAP TM, Yard Logistics and SAP Business Network for Logistics, including legacy WMS/TMS migration and S/4HANA alignment.
- Advise on automation and robotics integration (AS/RS, AMRs, conveyors, MFS), labor management and multi-site rollout strategy.
- Identify where AI and emerging technology create impact: slotting and wave optimization, demand-driven labor planning, predictive ETA, route and load optimization, computer vision, IoT, digital twins and agentic workflows.
- Connect execution to the wider supply chain: how planning (SAP IBP), inventory and order promising shape what happens in the warehouse and on the road.
- Build business cases with operational baselines, benefit levers, investment, ROI, payback and NPV, using benchmarks and customer data.
- Present and defend the value case to operations leaders, finance and procurement.
- Co-own deal strategy with the Account Executive: win themes, solution narrative, proposal storyline and orals.
- Brief and drive Presales and Practice Directors for demos and solution designs prove the value case.
- Build reusable assets: discovery guides, warehouse and transport value-lever libraries, ROI calculators, industry point-of-views.
- Track the SAP supply chain roadmap, automation market and AI developments; turn them into customer-ready stories.
- Contribute to events, webinars and content that reinforce Westernacher's leadership in supply chain.

- Strong financial and operational literacy: you can link a productivity gain to cost, service and working capital.
