Ultimately, you will help the organisation optimise its supply chain and maintenance operations through improved use of ERP and analytics, while ensuring alignment with overall IT standards and security practices. Accountabilities and Responsibilities • Collaborate with business stakeholders in Supply Chain and Operations to identify their needs and pain points. Gather detailed requirements for system improvements. • Analyse and map current business processes in areas like inventory management, work order processing, procurement to pay, and maintenance scheduling. • Define and propose ERP-based solutions that are cost-effective and aligned with the company s digital transformation goals. Emphasise improvements that leverage data analytics. • Partner with project managers and the broader IT team to plan and execute projects delivering enhancements to the SCM and EAM functionalities. • Ensure that the IT team remains the partner of choice for the business by delivering solutions that meet requirements and by communicating proactively. • Work closely with the business and ERP Manager to design ERP solutions supporting business system development. • Plan, monitor, and control any IT enhancements resulting from analysis activities in the SCM/EAM area. • Develop fit-for-purpose IT recommendations that accurately reflect business needs. • Perform comprehensive requirements gathering including eliciting requirements via workshops or interviews with end users like warehouse managers, procurement officers, maintenance planners, etc. Proactively remove roadblocks by clarifying requirements or facilitating decisions with business stakeholders. • Lead assigned project resources and coordinate with the business to ensure high-quality deliverables that have lasting benefits. • Liaise with IT Infrastructure and Support teams to make sure proposed solutions are technically feasible. • Analyze existing SAP and Maximo environments and propose system enhancements related to supply chain and maintenance processes. • Ensure timely resolution of ERP (SAP/Maximo) incidents and service requests related to SCM and EAM.

Experience with integration between SAP and Maximo or other EAM systems is a plus. • Solid experience and expertise in SAP modules related to this role: for example, extensive know-how in SAP MM and PM configuration. Additional experience with SAP modules like QM (quality management) or SD/LE (sales distribution / logistics execution) is useful if it interfaces with SCM processes. • Expertise in Maximo (IBM Maximo Asset Management) and EAM software - asset information, maintenance workflows, and how it can interface or integrate with ERP systems like SAP. • Demonstrated skill in bridging the gap between technical details and business requirements ability to explain SAP/Maximo capabilities to maintenance managers or procurement leads in an understandable way, and conversely to interpret business needs into system terms for developers. • A track record of driving process improvements for example, implementing an automated stock replenishment process (MRP) successfully or reducing downtime by enhancing maintenance planning in the system. • Good understanding of data analytics related to SCM/EAM e.g., able to help produce reports on inventory turnover, vendor performance, maintenance backlog, etc. • Excellent communication and teamwork skills. This role requires constant interaction with end users (warehouse staff, buyers, engineers) and coordination with other IT specialists (ERP colleagues, infrastructure), so being approachable and clear is key. • Experience with the formalities of IT change management writing functional specifications, working with ABAP developers, performing unit tests, managing transports in SAP, etc., ensuring minimal disruption to business during changes. • Adaptability and continuous learning mindset to keep up with changes in ERP/EAM technology (like new SAP S/4HANA features in supply chain, or new versions of Maximo) and in industry practices (like lean inventory management, predictive maintenance trends).

If certified as a SAP support consultant or similar, that would be a plus. • Any additional certifications like APICS CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management) or CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) might be considered a bonus, as they demonstrate depth in the supply chain or maintenance domain, though not a strict requirement.
