Sr SAP Finance Architect

Job description

Our team is planning a greenfield SAP S/4HANA implementation to support our organization. You will help design and deliver an ERP that connects finance, accounting, supply chain, procurement, and the shop floor into a single digital thread. We are committed to building the right way from the start: a clean-core approach, standard-first configuration, and an architecture meant to scale with the business.

Key job responsibilities

- Own the end-to-end solution architecture for the SAP finance and controllership domains on S/4HANA, translating business-process requirements into a coherent, scalable design.

- Partner with Accounting, Finance, and FP&A leaders to work backwards from financial-close, controls, and management-reporting requirements, and convert them into SAP configuration, the finance data model, and integration designs the delivery team can build.

- Own the integration architecture connecting SAP FICO to its upstream and downstream systems (billing, procurement, product costing, the manufacturing stack, and the reporting and data-lake layer), establishing a single source of truth for financial data.

- Lead SAP standard-versus-custom decisions, favoring configuration and clean-core extensions on BTP over core modifications, and evaluate system-integrator proposals with deep technical judgment on controls, auditability, upgrade-safety, and long-term maintainability.

- Build financial controls, segregation of duties, and audit and compliance requirements into the SAP design from the start rather than retrofitting them.

- Serve as the senior technical authority for SAP finance through design and configuration reviews, prototypes, and hands-on resolution of the hardest FICO configuration and integration problems, mentoring functional analysts and junior architects.
