- You establish clear project governance from a business perspective, including decision-making processes, escalation paths, status reporting to Logistics management and the steering committee, as well as issue and change management.
- You drive change communication, training and employee enablement on the client side and ensure that a capable and sustainable business organization is in place after project completion.
Who you are
You combine strong logistics and process expertise with a good understanding of SAP EWM and the ability to translate business requirements into robust, practical solutions.
