  • Bridging Finance and IT by educating stakeholders on key S/4HANA changes.
  • Defining and owning the target-state S/4HANA Finance architecture and design guardrails.
  • Driving finance data transformation resulting from the S/4HANA data model.
  • Defining the Finance data migration, reconciliation, and cutover strategy.
  • Representing the Finance workstream in S/4 program governance and steering forums.

Qualifications include:

  • 10+ years of SAP Finance (FI/CO) experience spanning business analysis and architecture design.
  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a technical field.
  • Deep understanding of both accounting principles and SAP technical architecture.
  • Demonstrated ability to evaluate S/4HANA capabilities versus legacy approaches and recommend an adoption path.
  • Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience with design authority across Finance, setting architectural direction and guiding SI/build teams.
  • Deep SAP FI/CO expertise with hands-on experience in S/4HANA Finance.
  • Experience with at least two SAP ECC to S/4HANA system conversions, in large complex organizations.
  • Experience with global rollouts, compliance frameworks, segregation of duties, tax, and audit/regulatory reporting requirements.

We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or expression, protected veteran status or any other protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law. We are proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
