Distribution manager Jobs in Hamburg

Deine Aufgaben

Bulk logistics is complex. The right consultant makes that complexity valuable.

Secondary distribution in bulk logistics is not simple. Supply nominations, logistics scheduling, carrier management, automated settlement - and layered on top of all of that, the specifics that make this industry genuinely hard: left on board quantities, temperature and density gain/loss, product tolerances, ADR and compartment handling.

Most SAP consultants do not know this world. You do. And that expertise is becoming more valuable, not less - because what clients need is not someone who can follow a configuration manual. They need someone who understands their business well enough to design the right solution, run workshops that cut through complexity, advise implementation partners on the hard decisions, and explain what better processes are actually worth: in margin, in settlement accuracy, in planning efficiency, in risk avoided.

At implico, we are building a consulting practice around exactly that. AI, BTP, Clean Core, and AI-assisted delivery are not buzzwords here - they are the tools we are actively building with to stay ahead of the wave. We are hiring two SDM consultants who want to grow into that role - people who have a solid foundation in the domain and the drive to master it, and who are excited about what modern technology makes possible.

What You'll Do

Design solutions, not just configurations

• Lead structured discovery and design workshops with client process owners - turning operational complexity into clear solution designs

• Translate bulk logistics requirements into clean, scalable SAP solutions - with a strong preference for standard processes and clean extensions

• Challenge what the client asks for and help them understand what they actually need

• Cover the full secondary distribution scope: supply nominations, logistics planning, carrier management, quantity and quality reconciliation, automated settlement - including the hard parts like left on board, temperature and density gain/loss, ADR and compartment handling, and contractual tolerance handling

Make value visible

• Move conversations beyond the system: what does a better settlement process mean for write-offs? What does tighter supply planning mean for working capital? What does automation mean for headcount and error rates?

• Help clients build the internal case for solution investments - ROI, risk framing, operational improvement quantification

• Identify opportunities beyond the project scope and articulate why they matter to the business

Be the quality anchor for partners

• Act as implico's quality anchor on partner-led implementations - review solution designs, identify gaps, step in when the complexity exceeds the partner's expertise

• Advise implementation partners on process and design decisions - share your expertise to raise the quality of the whole ecosystem, not just your own projects

• Support partners in handling the tricky scenarios: ADR edge cases, settlement reconciliation, left on board disputes

Contribute to what comes next

• Feed your process knowledge into Implico's AI tooling and accelerator library - help turn domain expertise into scalable assets

• Contribute to reusable workshop formats, process templates, and standard delivery frameworks

• Pilot AI-supported delivery approaches in live projects - documentation, gap analysis, UAT support

Dein Profil

• 3+ years of SAP consulting experience in bulk logistics - ideally with SDM, but strong SD/MM or TM experience in oil, gas, or chemicals is a genuine alternative. If you understand freight cost postings, inventory postings, logistics settlement, and how bulk product flows through a supply chain - we want to talk to you

• You know secondary distribution and are excited to master it: supply nominations, logistics scheduling, automated settlement - and the bulk-specific details that make this world genuinely interesting: left on board, temperature and density corrections, ADR and compartment handling, product tolerance bands

• You can lead a workshop with process owners and drive it to a decision

• You think in end-to-end processes before you think in configuration steps

• You are comfortable working with implementation partners - guiding, reviewing, and challenging where needed

• You are interested in what a solution is worth to the business - not just whether it works technically

• You are genuinely curious about AI and modern technology - BTP, Clean Core, AI-assisted delivery - and excited to be part of building with them, not just watching from the sidelines

Bonus: Oil & Gas or Chemicals industry background, experience building business cases or ROI arguments, hands-on experience with BTP, Clean Core, or AI tools in project delivery - the more the better.
