An opportunity to play your part – As Centrica’s SAP Functional Lead for Warehousing, you’ll spearhead the design, evolution and optimisation of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), shaping a future-proof roadmap that transforms Centrica’s warehousing into a high-performance, automated solution. You’ll orchestrate seamless, resilient inbound and outbound operations, integrating cutting-edge automation and AI solutions to ensure inventory is managed with precision and fulfilment is both stable and scalable across the supply chain. Operating within a product led, outcome-focused environment, you’ll deliver measurable business value by reducing manual effort, accelerating processes, and freeing up teams for higher-value decisions, making this a genuinely exciting opportunity to drive innovation and leave a lasting impact on Centrica’s operations.
