Job Description

Purpose of the role:

At Körber, automation is a key driver of efficiency, innovation, and business success. While many of our core business processes run on enterprise platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud, SuccessFactors, and ServiceNow, there are still significant opportunities to further automate, optimize, and digitalize processes across the organization.
