  • Solid understanding of business processes in procurement and supply chain (source to pay) and capabilities of SAP Intelligent Spend (Ariba / Fieldglass) and Business Network. Knowledge of similar solutions from competitors or SAP ERP expertise is a plus.
  • Excellent presentation and communication skills.
  • Proven interpersonal and team skills at all levels and in multi-cultural environments.
  • Business fluency in German and English is required to advise our clients.
  • Proficiency in additional Middle and Eastern European languages (French, Czech, etc.) is a plus.
