We are specifically looking for a Finance SAP S/4HANA Cloud expereince-someone who not only understands the product in depth but also possesses the acumen to distinguish between issues that stem from training needs versus those that require escalation to SAP via CAS tickets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Subject Matter Expertise & Support: Act as the first point of contact and subject matter expert for SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud modules (primarily Finance, with some exposure to Procurement and SD). Provide first-level functional support for all user queries.
• Business Analysis & Improvement: Analyse complex business requirements, identify process improvements, and proactively recommend standard, best-practice SAP Cloud functionality.
• Integration Support: Support the integration strategy and delivery between SAP Cloud and other SAP and non-SAP applications.
• Incident & Service Management: Manage and resolve incidents, service requests, and change requests using established ITSM processes. Prioritise issues effectively based on business impact.
• System Collaboration: Collaborate closely with business users, implementation partners, and SAP support teams to ensure effective and timely issue resolution and successful system operation.
• Documentation: Develop and maintain high-quality functional specifications, configuration guides, and end-user test scripts.
• Testing & Release: Support system testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and essential release management activities for scheduled SAP Cloud updates.
• Project Participation: Participate in adjacent projects as required to ensure SAP system alignment and integrity.

• Deep Functional SAP FICO Expertise: Proven, hands-on functional consulting experience with SAP S/4HANA Public/Private Cloud FICO modules is essential.
• Finance Background (Must Have): A formal Finance qualification or equivalent experience is required to ensure a deep understanding of accounting practices and finance operations.
• Technical Aptitude (Functional Focus): Must be a functional consultant with strong configuration skills rather than a highly technical specialist.
• Communication & Judgement: Exceptional ability to diagnose user issues, provide effective training/guidance, and manage high-level external support channels.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Excellent communication skills with experience collaborating with both technical teams and non-technical business users.
