The Job
At STICHD, we build strong brands, scalable operations and smart systems to support our international growth. As Senior SAP MM Consultant, you play a key role in shaping how our enterprise applications enable and support the business – today and in the future.
STICHD operates on SAP S/4HANA with a fully Fiori‑based user experience, providing a modern, streamlined digital core for our global operations. Within this landscap, you bring a deep understanding of business processes, SAP Material Management including procurement, inventory management, and end‑to‑end supply chain processes, as well as retail article master data. You have a strong sense of how enterprise systems should be designed for long‑term sustainability, scalability, and standardization. You translate business strategy and operational needs into robust, maintainable solutions that align with both industry best practices and STICHD’s architectural principles.
Acting as a trusted bridge between business stakeholders and IT, you turn complex requirements into clear functional designs and system configurations. You actively drive process harmonization, advocate the use of standard SAP MM functionality, and ensure customization is applied only when it delivers real business value—always in alignment with architectural standards and guardrails.
A key part of your role is ownership of (retail) article master and core MM processes. You ensure that article master structures, procurement, inventory, and logistics processes effectively support business needs across sourcing, logistics, finance, and sales, while remaining consistent, scalable, and fit for an international fashion/retail environment. You safeguard data quality and governance, and ensure that changes to the article master are assessed end‑to‑end, considering both functional impact and downstream integrations.
You are not just a solution designer, but a trusted advisor. You proactively challenge assumptions proposed solutions from business teams, managed service providers and external consultants to ensure alignment with SAP MM best practices, application standards, and STICHD’s architectural guardrails.
Your Mission

- Ensure high functional quality through structured testing (functional, SIT, UAT) and effective defect resolution.
- Act as the primary functional interface between business and IT, enabling clear communication and timely decision‑making.
- Maintain high‑quality documentation to support knowledge transfer, continuity, and future changes.
- Support user adoption through training, knowledge transfer, and clear guidance on new or changed processes.
- Continuously identify and drive opportunities for process optimization, simplification, and functional improvement.
