Embarking on New Challenges with SAP Public Cloud

Please tell us about your background before meeting ARK.

Three years ago, I worked on an SAP implementation project in Japan, where I was primarily responsible for downstream processes centered on development.After that, I moved to Canada and worked at a local logistics company as a user of SAP, performing data and status management and analysis tasks.Through these experiences, I came to desire a career path where I could leverage both my SAP and English skills, leading me to join ARK CONSULTING.

Please tell us about your current job responsibilities.

I am currently participating in an SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition implementation project.I am involved in the requirements definition phase, where I handle progress management as part of the PMO, as well as conducting functional research and proposing customizations within the MM (Purchasing and Inventory Management) domain.There is significant communication with the client and coordination within the team, leading to new discoveries every day.

Please tell me what you find rewarding about your work.

I find great fulfillment in leveraging the experience gained from my previous and prior positions while also challenging myself in business areas I’ve never encountered before.While some tasks are completely new to me, ARK senior employees also participate in the projects, providing support through reviews and consultations. This creates an environment where I can absorb new knowledge without anxiety.

Please tell me what makes ARK so appealing.

In a word, it’s a vibrant company.There’s an open atmosphere where you can speak frankly with the president and other superiors, making it easy to share opinions and seek advice.With many foreign employees and over half of the Japanese members having overseas experience or a global perspective, there are frequent opportunities to be inspired.Another appealing aspect is the culture where everyone holds strong opinions and engages in positive discussions.

Finally, could you please share a message for those who are interested in ARK?

This environment is a great fit for those with a clear vision of what they want to achieve.They take the time to understand your desired field and future career path, carefully considering your aspirations when assigning projects.Additionally, the company supports obtaining relevant certifications, including SAP certifications, making it ideal for those aiming to enhance their skills.I myself started with no consulting experience, yet I’ve truly felt myself growing.If you’re eager to take on new challenges, let’s tackle them together.
