Description
At a glanceEnvironment: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition at the core of a multi-entity, project-driven organisationScope: finance and controlling, procurement and inventory, and project accounting processesMission: lead the platform through implementation into disciplined, standard-aligned operationTeam: a specialist SAP unit, led and grown by youPartner: an external SAP implementation firm, directed and quality-checked by youThe workThis is the seat of the person who owns how the organisation runs on SAP Public Cloud — and who understands that in this edition, discipline beats customisation. The role leads the working end of an implementation built fit-to-standard: driving process-fit decisions, owning configuration through Central Business Configuration, governing extensibility so it stays within sanctioned key-user and BTP routes, and protecting the clean core against every pressure to bend it. The implementation partner's deliverables pass through your hands, and nothing is accepted on their say-so alone.In operation, the platform is yours to run: transaction integrity, master data governance, issue triage, and the release rhythm the edition imposes — absorbing SAP's twice-yearly upgrades, testing what changes, and turning new-release capability into value rather than disruption. Expect to spend as much time steering finance, procurement, and project teams toward the standard as you spend in the configuration environment; the role rewards someone persuasive enough to hold that line with the business.
