The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in SAP configuration, process analysis, and user support—helping ensure that SAP solutions are effectively aligned with business strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support end-to-end SAP implementations, upgrades, and integrations, ensuring minimal business disruption.

  • Provide training and ongoing end-user support to maximize adoption and system usability.

  • Monitor SAP system performance, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with technical teams to implement fixes.

  • Create and maintain comprehensive functional documentation including process flows, test cases, and training materials.

  • Participate in project planning, workshops, and cross-functional meetings to support agile and waterfall delivery.

Required Skills & Experience:
  • Strong working knowledge of SAP ERP modules: FI/CO, MM, SD (HR and others a plus).

  • Hands-on experience in SAP configuration and functional testing.

  • Solid understanding of business process modeling, analysis, and improvement techniques.

  • Proficient in requirements gathering, documentation, and stakeholder communication.

  • Experience in full lifecycle SAP projects: blueprinting, realization, testing, go-live, and support.

  • Ability to conduct UAT (User Acceptance Testing) and training sessions for business users.

  • Familiarity with integration points between SAP modules and external systems.

  • Comfortable working in project delivery environments using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid methodologies.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field.

  • Master’s degree or MBA preferred.

  • SAP certifications in relevant modules (FI/CO, MM, SD, etc.) are a strong plus.

Core Competencies:
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Excellent verbal and written communication
