SAP EWM Architect – 6-Month Contract-to-Hire
Direct applicants only. We do not partner with third parties or vendor-represented candidates.
Location: Chicago preferred; open to remote with travel
If you’re a hands-on SAP EWM expert who loves building real solutions instead of sitting in meetings all day, this role is built for you. We’re looking for an SAP EWM Architect who can design, configure, and deliver scalable, high-performance warehouse solutions across multiple sites. This is not a project management role. This is sleeves rolled up, deep-in-the-system solution delivery.
You’ll translate complex warehouse and supply chain operations into SAP EWM designs, work directly with stakeholders, integrate with SAP S/4HANA and automation systems, and lead end-to-end implementations through go-live and hypercare.
What You’ll Do
Design, configure, and implement SAP EWM solutions aligned with business requirements and SAP best practices
Partner directly with business stakeholders to gather requirements and translate workflows into technical designs
Perform hands-on configuration across inbound, outbound, inventory management, labor management, RF framework, and automation integration
Collaborate with technical teams to design RICEFW objects and ensure seamless integration with SAP S/4HANA and 3PL/automation platforms
Support data migration, unit testing, SIT, UAT, and cutover activities through multi-site go-lives
Provide deep-dive troubleshooting and hypercare support for complex issues across the EWM landscape
Drive continuous improvements and recommend new EWM features and innovations
Mentor junior team members on EWM best practices
What You Bring
10+ years of SAP Supply Chain experience, with 5+ years specifically in SAP EWM
Proven hands-on configuration skills with strong SAP S/4HANA integration experience
Successful delivery of two or more full lifecycle SAP EWM implementations
Strong experience integrating EWM with automated warehouse systems (conveyors, AS/RS, robotics, etc.) and external 3PLs
Deep understanding of warehouse operations, including inbound, outbound, inventory, labor management, and VAS
Strong cross-module knowledge: PP, TM, QM, FICO
Ability to design and document detailed functional and technical specs for development teams
Experience supporting global or multi-site warehouse rollouts
Excellent communication skills with the ability to bridge business, IT, and leadership
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on direct, efficient solution delivery
Familiarity with Agile or hybrid methodologies; cloud-based SAP experience preferred
SAP EWM certification is a plus
If you’re ready to step into a role where your hands-on expertise actually drives real operational impact, we’d love to talk with you.
