• Support S/4HANA upgrade and migration projects with authorization impact analysis, testing, and remediation.
• Maintain documentation for role matrices, access provisioning procedures, and audit/compliance evidence.
• Respond to and resolve day-to-day SAP security tickets within SLA.

Required Skills:

• 5 years of hands-on SAP Security experience, with solid, demonstrable experience in SAP S/4HANA security and Fiori/UI5 app authorizations.
