The role will sit across approximately:

Any exposure to PPDS would be viewed very positively.
What Will Make Someone Successful

- Can operate independently
- Is proactive and solutions-focused
- Has credibility with production and manufacturing stakeholders
- Can troubleshoot production issues calmly and practically
- Knows how to balance operational support with improvement work

- How have you supported manufacturing teams post-go-live?
- What differences have you experienced moving from ECC to S/4HANA?
