EPI-USE Labs is a technology company providing products and specialist professional services to clients worldwide, primarily focused on SAP systems. Our software creations have given birth to many value-added solutions and services.
Everything we do is aimed at using data-focused solutions to create better, faster, more powerful systems to save time and money. We’ve done this for forty years all over the world and a 98% customer retention history is part of our track record. The reasons are not surprising: we work hard, we’re very good at what we do and going the extra mile for clients is standard.
In the last decade our project services teams have expanded rapidly and we now have a wide range of uniquely software-powered transformation services – again primarily for SAP clients – where we execute projects such as: M&A SLO transformations, S/4HANA & Payroll selective data transitions, Privacy apps and clean-up projects (and test environments data scrambling), Functional transformations (e.g. profit centre reorgs, or base unit of measurement conversions) and more.
This job is tied to an initiative to now rapidly expand our SLO project services globally following very strong expansion in Europe. The initiative is led from the UK but with key staff in all regions of the globe and hiring spans the Americas, Europe, the Middle-East, Africa and Asia/Oceania.
