The Role
The SAP Business One Business Unit at G3G Africa is looking to welcome an SAP Business One Consultant who is eager to contribute to the vision and team values lived out at G3G. If you are interested in being considered, below are a few pointers that we at G3G consider important in our future team members.
You can communicate and express yourself – both to your teammates as well as when interacting with our clients. You take ownership of your clients and give them the best that SAP Business One has to offer. You should be able to look after big and small clients with equal commitment. You don’t wait to be told what to do, you act and live out your creativity in your workspace and with your clients in a spontaneous manner. You’re conscious of time and the value of resources in the SME world in which we work and as such you always seek to deliver value in a time-efficient manner. You are able to work with and alongside your colleagues, spontaneously forming new teams as the need arises, lead teams, and share knowledge, even when working individually.
