| Who We Are Looking For

Slate is seeking an experienced SAP leader to support the Warsaw, IN Production Control through both the SAP S/4HANA implementation and ongoing production support after go-live. This is an on-site role reporting into Production Control. During implementation, the role will translate Slate's shop-floor, manufacturing, finance, and supply chain requirements into a scalable SAP solution and own User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with Production Control and plant operations stakeholders. Post go-live, the role transitions into day-to-day production support for the Warsaw plant, resolving issues, maintaining configuration, and keeping SAP aligned with evolving plant operations.

Develop and execute test scenarios, coordinate unit and integration testing, and secure business sign-off.
