SAP MM Junior consultant | Procurement & Operations Executive

About

I am a procurement and operations professional with 9+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment, with strong exposure to the complete Procure to Pay (P2P) cycle. My hands-on experience includes purchase order creation, goods receipt (GRN), vendor coordination, invoice verification, and subcontracting processes. I have worked closely with suppliers and internal teams to ensure smooth material flow, resolve discrepancies, and support day-to-day procurement operations. Working in a small-scale setup has given me end-to-end exposure to procurement and plant operations, allowing me to understand not just the process steps, but the practical challenges behind them. I am currently pursuing SAP S/4HANA MM and will be completing my training shortly. Since my real-time work experience closely aligns with SAP MM processes, I am confident in my ability to quickly adapt to the system and contribute effectively. I am seeking an entry-level SAP MM opportunity (L1 Support / Junior Consultant) where I can combine my domain expertise with SAP knowledge and build a strong career in the SAP ecosystem.
