Job description

What will your working day look like?

As Senior SAP Authorization Specialist, you will shape and safeguard authorisation design across our S/4HANA environment. This is a visible expert role combining hands-on solution design, complex problem-solving, governance and trusted advice to business and IT stakeholders.

You will act as the authority on SAP access and security, working independently while collaborating closely with business process owners, project managers, SAP functional and technical teams, Identity and Access Management, service partners and auditors. You will have the scope to influence standards, improve the role model and guide strategic SAP initiatives across an international organisation.

What will be your biggest challenge?

Your biggest challenge will be to create and continuously improve a secure, scalable and future-proof SAP S/4HANA and Fiori authorisation landscape. You will take ownership of role design and advise both business and IT stakeholders on authorisations, least privilege, sensitive access and Segregation of Duties. At the same time, you will tackle complex authorisation issues, assess the impact of new projects and developments, and ensure a smooth and controlled transition to production. By strengthening governance, documentation and audit readiness, you will help us strike the right balance between security, compliance and business needs.

How will you make a difference?

• You bring at least five years of substantial hands-on SAP authorization or SAP security experience.
• You have deep expertise in PFCG role design, SAP authorization concepts, Fiori security and troubleshooting with tools such as SUIM, SU53 and STAUTHTRACE.
• You understand Segregation of Duties, privileged access, audit requirements and the relationship between access design, business processes and risk and the impact of authorisation design on SAP licensing.
• You take ownership, set priorities and deliver with limited supervision, while knowing when to involve or challenge the appropriate stakeholders.
• You communicate fluently in English; Dutch is an advantage.

What can we offer you?

• A senior expert role with autonomy, visibility and direct impact on security, compliance and business operations.
• The opportunity to shape SAP authorization standards and contribute to strategic S/4HANA initiatives.
• An international environment with experienced colleagues and access to modern SAP technologies.
• A competitive salary package and continued professional development.
• A healthy work-life balance, flexible hours and hybrid working.

Where will you be working?

You will work from home and from your local Indaver location, supporting European sites that use the central IT infrastructure. You will join an international IT organisation and collaborate across SAP functional and technical domains, Identity and Access Management, HR, security, audit and external service providers.
