Position Overview
The Senior Supply Chain Implementation Consultant at OMP in Cologne equips customers with supply chain planning solutions from initial analysis through to go-live — analyzing planning challenges, contributing to solution design, implementing and validating the solution and ensuring a smooth transition to operational use. Working in close collaboration with solution architects and customer project teams, this professional finds clever planning solutions, implements them end-to-end, provides ongoing expertise, trains customers on solution use and documents implementations through technical descriptions and functional notes. Customer visits represent approximately 20% of working time — the remainder is spent embedded in OMP’s expert team in Cologne, ensuring continuous knowledge development and team connection.
Why This Role Matters: At OMP, the Senior Supply Chain Implementation Consultant is the bridge between world-class supply chain planning technology and the Fortune 500 companies whose supply chains keep billions of products moving — from BASF’s chemicals to Nestlé’s food to P&G’s consumer goods. Every planning challenge you analyze, every smart solution you implement and every go-live you successfully deliver contributes to the supply chain efficiency, sustainability and resilience of global businesses that serve consumers worldwide. That is the scale of impact a Senior Consultant at OMP creates — from Cologne, across Europe, and around the world.

- Provide specialized supply chain planning expertise during and after implementation — supporting customers through the full project life cycle, including go-live support, stabilization and post-implementation optimization activities.
Customer Training, Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
- Train customers comprehensively on OMP’s supply chain planning solution — enabling customer teams to leverage the full capabilities of their new planning system confidently, independently and effectively from day one of live operation.
- Document all implemented supply chain planning solutions thoroughly — providing clear technical descriptions for fellow OMP consultants and accessible functional notes for customer stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
- Visit customers regularly (approximately 20% of working time) to support on-site implementation activities, conduct training sessions and provide expert guidance — remaining rooted in OMP’s Cologne expert team for the majority of the working week.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Continuous Learning

- Maintain a strong affinity for IT and a genuine willingness to build deep expertise in OMP’s proprietary supply chain planning software — committing to continuous learning and software mastery as a core professional development expectation.
- Apply programming knowledge in Python, SQL, R or comparable languages to support technical configuration, data analysis and implementation quality validation activities across customer supply chain planning projects.
