Are you ready to be a pivotal force in transforming how a major enterprise manages its critical assets? We are seeking an exceptional SAP EAM professional to lead the charge in designing, implementing, and optimizing cutting-edge Enterprise Asset Management solutions.

What You'll Do

• Lead hands-on functional configuration and design for SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), including PM/SM and PS modules, ensuring robust and scalable solutions.
• Drive full lifecycle SAP EAM implementations, encompassing every stage from business requirements gathering and workshops to gap analysis, blueprinting, design, configuration, testing, cutover, data migration, go-live, training, and ongoing support.
• Contribute significantly to the implementation and execution of SAP EAM/Plant Maintenance processes by thoroughly assessing current states, identifying critical customer requirements, and defining future-state business solutions that enhance operational efficiency.
• Translate complex detailed business requirements into comprehensive systems design documents and implement them effectively within the SAP environment.

• Serve as a primary liaison, fostering strong communication and collaboration between internal teams, vendors, project management, and technical teams for all solution architecture questions, issues, and revisions.
• Guide complex fit/gap analysis and design decisions, meticulously validating these decisions to ensure any deviations from standard functionality are well-justified and deliver positive, measurable value.
• Provide expert consulting services for both new SAP implementations and existing support projects, acting as a trusted advisor.
• Offer targeted ad-hoc training and user support as needed, empowering end-users with comprehensive system proficiency and confidence.
• Work autonomously and independently, often stepping into a subject matter mentor role to guide and develop less experienced team members.
