Where you belong

Our organization is responsible for the development and enhancement of Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) within SAP S/4HANA. You will join a dynamic new scrum team which will contribute to the success of SAP’s solutions around Supply Chain Planning.

In our collaborative environment, innovation and technical excellence are highly valued. This role offers opportunities for both personal and professional growth within a global organization. You will collaborate closely with other scrum teams and product management across various locations, including Budapest, Walldorf, and Bangalore.

This position allows you to engage in the conceptualization, design, prototyping, and development of core PP/DS processes, providing you with a diverse and enriching work experience.

Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) in SAP S/4HANA empowers companies to easily create feasible and optimized production plans and procurement proposals. PP/DS performs finite capacity planning, which means it considers real-world limitations and constraints, such as available machinery capacity or raw materials.

To accelerate the improvement and modernization of our solution, we are establishing a new development team in Budapest following the Harmonized Product Operating Model.
