An SAP consultant helps you to effectively use SAP software systems such as SAP ERP, S/4HANA, and SAP CRM. The consultant has a broad knowledge of the various modules and functions in SAP, such as finance and accounting, materials management, production, quality management, sales, and human resources management.

Typically, an SAP consultant analyzes the company's business processes to understand how the SAP software can be used to improve those processes. Based on this statistical analysis, the consultant can make recommendations to optimize the SAP configuration or make customer-specific adjustments.

As an SAP consultant, you can also conduct workshops to train the company's employees in how to use the SAP software. In many cases, the SAP consultant also acts as a project manager when introducing or replacing SAP systems in new companies or departments.

In order to remain competitive, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to react quickly to changes in today's digital world. However, according to the Boston Consulting Group's "Future of Jobs" report, Germany will be short of over a million IT specialists by 2030 to ensure successful digitalization. IT consultants or developers who help companies adapt their business processes to the requirements of the new world of work are particularly sought after.

But why are SAP consultants so urgently needed right now? On the one hand, more and more companies are relying on digital solutions from SAP in order to keep up with the competition. In addition, support for the classic ERP system SAP ECC will expire in 2027 and almost 88 percent of companies that work with SAP ERP are planning to switch to the new cloud-based release S/4HANA. There is currently a shortage of specialists who can support companies in introducing the new software solution.

At GOpus, we don't offer you a fixed career path. Instead, we are always looking for individual talents and qualifications, especially in SAP consulting.

If you want to create a solid foundation for a job in SAP consulting, a university degree in the classic subjects such as business administration, (business) IT, industrial engineering or logistics is a sensible option. But even without a degree, you are interesting to us, because universities rarely offer SAP-specific training anyway. Instead, it is important to have basic business knowledge and SAP skills and to prove this with recognized certificates. But even without an academic degree or professional experience, there are many vacancies that can be filled. At GOpus GmbH, we are increasingly relying on qualified career changers and practical knowledge in IT professions.

One way to qualify as an SAP consultant is to retrain or further train as an IT specialist, which will provide you with broad training on the implementation and maintenance of IT systems. An SAP certification, in which you focus on the use and configuration of SAP, is just as logical. You can choose which SAP modules or business areas you would like to delve deeper into.

Even without a bachelor's degree, as a career changer or returning to work, you are qualified to be an SAP consultant, because an SAP certification in particular enables you to acquire sought-after qualifications in a short time and obtain internationally recognized proof of your SAP competence. Of course, we will finance these training opportunities for you.

In addition to attractive remuneration, all of our employees have access to great benefits such as profit sharing, gym subsidies, company cars and e-bike leasing.

Unlike many of our competitors, we do not require our employees to travel regularly. We take family circumstances and personal wishes into consideration. From time to time we have trips (foreign trips) that employees are welcome to take if they are willing.

All employees have an hourly account in which any extra work is recorded. This ensures that overtime does not simply expire, but can be compensated individually. Depending on the agreement, this overtime can either be paid out in the next month or taken as time off. This ensures that the workload on employees is compensated fairly and appropriately, even during stressful project phases.

This enables our SAP consultants to plan their work optimally and achieve a good work-life balance. GOpus GmbH is a family-owned company with just over 20 employees. We want to grow and we need you to do so. See for yourself in an initial introductory meeting.
