I am not sure of the applications in which your Materials Management configuration expertise is in. I would suggest you pursue an SAP training course in MM to start with. Given your link with MM this is a good first step. If you check the SAP site for the links to "Education" it would be more informative.

Also you need to be in a position to (post training) get a job that makes use of these skills. If you manage to get a change in your current position to have some responsibility in SAP MM configuration, either in your company if it has SAP or in another company, then it would be a good fit.
