About the Role

We are looking for a Senior SAP Manufacturing Consultant with strong SAP PP expertise to join an international team supporting a SAP S/4HANA Clean Core on RISE Assessment for a leading Med Tech company in Spain.

This is an assessment and advisory engagement, focused on process-led fit-to-standard analysis rather than implementation. You will be responsible for assessing current Production Planning and Manufacturing processes, identifying gaps against SAP S/4HANA best practices, and defining future-state recommendations to support the clients transformation roadmap.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead AS-IS and TO-BE workshops with SAP Product Owners and business SMEs across Production Planning and Manufacturing.
- Perform fit-to-standard and fit-gap analysis for SAP PP processes.
- Contribute to L1–L3 process mapping, pain-point analysis and functional documentation.
- Assess the impact of existing custom developments such as Z-programs, user exits and BAdIs on the future S/4HANA landscape.
- Evaluate relevant S/4HANA simplifications and best practices, including MRP Live and production/process order capabilities.
- Prepare the S/4HANA Fit/Gap Report and Future-State Process Definition documentation.
- Provide Manufacturing input into the Target Architecture Pack, Migration Readiness Pack, roadmap and Transformation Business Case.
- Collaborate with MM/IM, Quality/Regulatory and Finance/Product Costing workstreams on cross-functional processes and integrations.




- Work closely with the Technical Architect to identify opportunities for Clean Core adoption and reduction of customisation.

Must-Have Requirements:

- 10+ years of hands-on SAP PP consulting experience.
- Proven experience with at least one SAP S/4HANA implementation, fit-to-standard/process assessment or Clean Core readiness assessment.
- Strong knowledge of SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing and PP best practices.
- Solid understanding of MRP Live and S/4HANA production/process order simplifications.
- Proven experience facilitating business-process workshops with senior stakeholders.
- Strong experience producing fit-gap analysis, process mapping and assessment documentation.
- Comfortable working in an advisory/assessment environment, rather than solely in implementation projects.
- Fluent English, both spoken and written.

Nice to Have:

- Experience within Life Sciences, Med Tech or Pharma manufacturing.
- Exposure to PP-PI, batch manufacturing, batch records or electronic batch record integration.
- Experience with SAP Signavio Process Insights and/or SAP Readiness Check.
- Knowledge of SAP Activate and RISE with SAP readiness assessments.
- Working knowledge of Spanish.

Future Opportunity

This engagement focuses on assessment and strategic recommendations rather than implementation. Depending on project outcomes and client decisions, consultants may have the opportunity to participate in a subsequent multi-year SAP Clean Core / RISE transformation programme.

If you are an experienced SAP PP consultant with strong S/4HANA knowledge and enjoy working in transformation and advisory environments, we would be happy to hear from you.
