About the role

SAP Functional SME to own the functional design of core finance processes on S/4HANA, bridging Finance and Engineering to deliver a modern, highly automated finance experience using process intelligence and AI.

Responsibilities

  • Own Functional Design: Lead end-to-end process discovery and AS-IS/TO-BE design for major finance processes (Record-to-Report, Source-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash), define S/4HANA solution scope, and design to standard, clean-core capabilities wherever possible.
  • Configure S/4HANA: Own functional configuration, business rules, and master-data strategy for your domain, and partner with developers on extensions, APIs, and orchestration where standard functionality falls short.
  • Drive Process Intelligence: Use process mining and business process intelligence (leveraging SAP Process Intelligence and related tools) to identify root causes, quantify opportunity, and prioritize improvements; translate those findings into concrete S/4HANA requirements.
  • Shape the AI & Agentic Layer: Define the requirements for AI-assisted and agentic process improvements—task automation, intelligent recommendations, anomaly detection, and generative assistants—and determine where AI belongs in a controlled, auditable process.
  • Bridge Business and Engineering: Serve as the connective tissue between Finance process owners and the engineering pods, partnering with architects and developers to embed AI safely and to define data flows between S/4HANA, process intelligence tools, SAP BTP, and Databricks AI.
  • Run Workshops and Validate Value: Facilitate stakeholder workshops to validate business value, define acceptance criteria, and lead user acceptance testing for both functional and AI features.
  • Measure Outcomes: Define KPIs and track ROI for process improvements—cycle time, touchless transaction rate, exception and manual-touch reduction, adoption—and build business cases for prioritized automation and AI initiatives.
  • Enable Adoption: Coach and upskill process owners and functional teams on process intelligence, best practices, and AI adoption, and drive readiness and change management for what you ship.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of SAP functional consulting experience, with hands-on delivery across at least one full S/4HANA lifecycle and deep expertise in one or more finance domains—Record-to-Report, Source-to-Pay, or Order-to-Cash—plus working fluency in adjacent areas and in master-data governance.
  • Process Intelligence: Demonstrated experience leading process discovery, process mapping, and process mining using SAP Process Intelligence or equivalent BPI tools, and translating mining outputs into solution requirements.
  • Clean-Core Mindset: Strong bias toward standard, clean-core S/4HANA design, with sound judgment about when a requirement genuinely warrants an extension versus a change in process.
  • AI & Agentic Automation: Practical experience applying Databricks AI and agentic capabilities to enterprise processes, with strong judgment on where AI can drive automation and decision support while maintaining governance, controls, auditability, and human oversight.
  • Integration Awareness: Solid understanding of integration patterns (APIs/OData, IDoc, SAP Integration Suite / BTP) and the data requirements that feed process mining and AI models.
  • Governance Rigor: Working knowledge of SAP authorizations, SoD, SOX and audit requirements, and the ability to design processes and automation that satisfy them.
  • Stakeholder Leadership: Excellent workshop facilitation, stakeholder management, and change-management skills, and the ability to present executive-level ROI and translate technical capability into measurable business value.
  • Business-First Mindset: Pragmatic, outcome-driven approach to reducing process waste and risk, and comfort leading through ambiguity across complex business and IT landscapes.
