Job Title
SAP S/4HANA Logistics & Quality Trainer (Manufacturing)
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced SAP S/4HANA Trainer with strong logistics, quality, and manufacturing domain knowledge to support a live S/4HANA transformation within a manufacturing logistics environment.
The core training materials have largely been created. This role will work closely with the central training and change team to review existing content, identify gaps or shortfalls, and enhance Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) and supporting documentation-particularly across Quality, Master Data, Production, and Supply Chain Planning processes.
This is a hands-on, content refinement role, requiring deep SAP process knowledge and the ability to translate complex system and business processes into clear, practical guidance for end users operating in a site-based manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Review existing SAP S/4HANA training materials and course content
- Work collaboratively with the training team and business SMEs to:
- Identify gaps, inaccuracies, or missing scenarios in training materials
- Address site-specific process variations and operational realities
- Update and enhance Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) covering:
- Quality processes
- Master data maintenance and governance
- Production and manufacturing execution
- Supply chain and planning activities
- Ensure training materials accurately reflect:
- Configured S/4HANA processes
- End-to-end business flows across logistics and manufacturing
- Validate training documentation against live or near-live system processes
- Support readiness activities ahead of deployment and go-live
- Provide clarification and SAP process guidance to the training and change teams as required

- Understanding of master data dependencies across modules
- SAP PP (Production Planning)
- Production processes, execution, confirmations, and integration with logistics

Strong Logistics Foundation (Highly Desirable)
- SAP MM (Materials Management)
- SAP SD (Sales & Distribution)
- WM and/or EWM (Warehouse Management/Extended Warehouse Management)

- Step-by-step SAP user guides
- Process-aligned training documentation

- Confident working collaboratively with training, change, and business stakeholders
- Able to challenge content constructively to improve quality and effectiveness
