• Proven, hands‑on SAP Cloud IAG implementation experience.


• Experience configuring IAG access workflows, SoD rulesets, risk analysis and access certification.


• Strong SAP Security knowledge, including PFCG role design and Fiori authorisations.


• Experience with SAP GRC Access Control and IAS/IPS integration.


• Understanding of SAP licensing, FUE optimisation and audit compliance.


• Excellent English communication skills.

SAP Basis, Security or GRC/IAG certifications are advantageous.

Why apply?
