Supply Chain (Integration) Consultant

Do you enjoy solving complex supply chain problems? Are you passionate about adding value to Fortune 500 companies? Ready to join a place where smart solutions meet human collaboration?

If you answered yes, you might be the Supply Chain Consultant we’re looking for.

 

Your Challenge 

As a supply chain consultant, you equip customers with supply chain planning solutions. You analyze planning challenges, assist in the solution design, implement and validate the solution, and ensure a smooth go-live. Customers rely on your support throughout the entire project life cycle.

You also focus on the technical analysis and implementation of our integration solutions into our customer’s business systems. Together with our integration architects, your contributions assist with delivering high-quality, fully-tested, and documented solutions by integrating our solution with enterprise systems such as SAP.

You are responsible for:

• Finding clever planning solutions in collaboration with our solution architects to ensure an impeccable, high-quality implementation.
• Implementing the solution from start to finish, together with the customer’s project team.
• Providing expertise during and after implementation.
• Training customers so they get the most of their solution.
• Documenting the implemented solutions by providing technical descriptions to your fellow consultants and functional notes to the customer.
• Designing and implementing integration workflows.
• Writing integration scripts.
• Designing and executing data mapping, data modeling, and data loading.
• Developing specifications.
• Analyzing customer needs.
• Performing testing.
• Developing integration solutions.

Although you’ll be visiting customers regularly (about 20% of your time), you won’t be outsourced. In this way you remain rooted in our team of experts and consultants.
