• Participate in SAP upgrades, migrations, and digital transformation initiatives, including S/4HANA and cloud/SaaS adoption. 

• Apply standard SAP functionality to meet business needs, minimizing custom development while still addressing critical gaps via RICEFW objects.

• Create and maintain process documentation, configuration guides, and training materials to support adoption and reuse.
