How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW?

Mission:

The (Senior) D&IT Product Expert, SAP Finance & Controlling mission is to act as the liaison between the Finance, Controlling, and Project System business stakeholders and the internal SAP D&IT and the System Integrator team during the S/4 Hana implementation project. This role is crucial for ensuring that business requirements are accurately captured, translated into system specifications, and that the resulting S/4HANA solution in the FICO and PS domains is effectively adopted, driving process efficiency and maximizing value realization.

This role serves as the crucial liaison between our E&C business units (specifically Finance, Accounting, and Project Cost Control) and the internal SAP IT team and external System Integrator. You will be instrumental in ensuring our new SAP S/4HANA FICO and PS solution aligns with corporate finance strategy, accounting standards (IFRS), and project execution needs.

As a member of the project team, you'll be involved in the full lifecycle of our greenfield S/4HANA implementation and application maintenance after the project. We are seeking a dedicated professional with hands-on experience in SAP FICO and Project System (PS) processes and configuration, ready to help translate complex financial and project management needs into a scalable and integrated SAP design. Your work will directly contribute to defining and deploying SAP solutions for our core Finance, Controlling, and Project System processes, ensuring business process harmonization across E&C.

If you are a dynamic, self-motivated individual who is eager to learn and ready to take ownership of new challenges, we encourage you to apply.
