SAP BASIS SPECIALIST

SAP Basis Specialist

Company is undergoing a transformation of its IT area toward an integrated and proactive model, where IT acts as a strategic business partner. Within this transformation, the SAP landscape — which supports critical processes such as Finance, integrations with the operational systems, and regulatory reporting — requires a technical specialist capable of maintaining the platform stable, high-performing, and secure, executing with discipline and effectively coordinating with the external Basis team.

Manage and oversee the Basis operation of Company’ SAP landscape, ensuring technical health, performance, availability, and security of the platform. Coordinate and follow up on Basis work carried out by Accenture, ensuring technical quality, adherence to timelines, and alignment with Company standards. Since Finance concentrates the most critical processes within the landscape, it receives priority attention in response to incidents and technical changes.

• Coordinate and oversee Accenture on Basis topics — follow up on activities executed by the external team, review technical deliverables, validate change quality, and ensure adherence to agreed standards and windows.
• Operate and oversee the Transport Management System (TMS) — control the flow of changes across environments, authorize transports into production, and ensure traceability.
• Performance tuning and proactive monitoring — identify bottlenecks, review system parameters, anticipate incidents, and escalate when needed.
• Oversee system copies, refreshes, and continuity scenarios — keep QA and development aligned with production; participate in DR testing.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams — SAP security, DBAs, networks, and application teams.
• Ensure compliance with controls and documentation — maintain traceability and align with audit policies.

• Experience with HANA, Oracle, or SQL Server.
