    In this role, your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading the implementation and stabilisation of SAP FI/CO solutions, as well as proposing and specifying configuration and technical solutions to meet business needs.
  • Facilitating and leading workshops to design and agree upon new SAP FI/CO solutions, while also translating business requirements into detailed SAP solution specifications.
  • Managing a team of internal and offshore SAP specialists.
  • Staying updated on new features and functionalities to enhance system performance and business outcomes and investigating business issues within SAP FI/CO as an advisor and super user.
  • Ensuring the availability and performance of SAP to agreed SLAs and focusing on continuous improvement of processes and end user experience in SAP FI/CO modules.

  • Providing regression testing for development releases of other applications interfacing into SAP Finance and contributing to the delivery of business and team KPIs.
  • Identifying opportunities for process optimisation and enhanced efficiency in project management and SAP implementation, and leading post-implementation reviews to gather insights and lessons learned for future projects.

    • What you'll bring:

  • Exceptional comprehension of SAP finance processes and a robust knowledge of finance business procedures.
  • Extensive experience with ERP systems, particularly SAP FI/CO.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, with a deep understanding of Excel.
  • Proven hands-on experience in leading the design, development, and maintenance of SAP FI/CO solutions, with strong stakeholder management skills demonstrated through clear and efficient communication.
