Job Content

We are looking for an enthusiastic senior IT Project Manager to structure, improve and promote our Logistic processes throughout our EMEA company. We make use of a centralized SAP ERP system that is migrated to S/4HANA in August 2022.

After a training period accompanied by the company value guidelines, you will:

During this process, you will need to study, plan and drive innovation, collaborate with experts, find business cases and bring our strategy into reality.
