SAP S/4HANA Finance Architect (Controlling and Accounting)

$200k - $235k

Blue Signal Search

SAP S/4HANA Finance Architect (Controlling and Accounting)

Location: Chicago preferred; open to remote candidates with travel as needed (10–20%)

Compensation: $200K–$235K base + bonus + equity

This is not a configuration role or a PM role.

We are hiring an SAP S/4HANA Finance Architect to help shape a large-scale transformation across North America.

This role sits within a large enterprise environment undergoing a multi-year S/4HANA transformation and is focused on decision-making and architecture, not execution. You'll work closely with senior finance leadership to evaluate options, define direction, and guide the evolution of the finance platform.

What You'll Do:
  • Lead design decisions across SAP Finance (FI/CO, controlling)
  • Evaluate what to adopt, when to adopt, and why
  • Translate system design into clear business implications
  • Partner directly with Controller/CFO-level stakeholders
What Matters Most:
  • Deep FI/CO + controlling expertise
  • Experience with S/4 transformations
  • Ability to structure decisions and articulate tradeoffs
What Won't Work:
  • Project managers
  • Pure configurators
  • Generalist SAP backgrounds

About Blue Signal:

Blue Signal is an award-winning, executive search firm specializing in various specialties. Our recruiters have a proven track record of placing top-tier talent across industry verticals, with deep expertise in numerous professional services.
