About the Role

Our client, a leading international company, is looking for an experienced SAP Inhouse Consultant CO (m/f/d) to join its team and drive the continuous development and optimisation of its SAP Controlling environment.

This role is ideal for an SAP CO professional with strong process knowledge, a hands‑on mindset and experience in project or sub‑project management. You will work closely with international business units, key users and cross‑functional teams to optimise business processes and support the transformation of the company's SAP landscape.

Candidates with 2–3 years of SAP FI/CO consulting experience are also encouraged to apply, provided they have a clear interest in specialising in SAP CO.

• Advise and support international business units and Global Business Services in optimising, standardising and transforming the SAP landscape, with a particular focus on Controlling.
• Lead or co‑lead national and international SAP CO projects, including implementation and rollout activities.
• Take end‑to‑end responsibility for the SAP CO module and drive its continuous development in line with business requirements.
• Analyse existing business processes and identify opportunities for process improvement, standardisation and efficiency gains.
• Develop technical solution concepts and independently implement them through SAP Customising.
• Plan, coordinate and manage SAP testing activities.
• Act as the central point of contact between key users, business departments and related SAP modules, including SAP MM, SD, PS, PP and CS.
• Provide third‑level support, resolve complex issues and coordinate with external service providers.
• Contribute to the ongoing development and optimisation of SAP CO functionalities and processes.

Your Profile

• A degree in Computer Science, Business Information Systems, Industrial Engineering, Business Administration or a comparable qualification.
• Several years of experience in SAP CO, ideally with at least 2–3 years of project or sub‑project management experience.
• Strong knowledge of relevant SAP CO modules and functionalities, particularly:
• Product Cost Controlling (CO‑PC)
• Actual Costing and Material Ledger (CO‑PC‑ACT)
• Profitability Analysis (CO‑PA)
• Profit Center Accounting (EC‑PCA)
• Experience in designing, implementing and managing SAP projects.
• Ideally, initial experience with SAP S/4HANA and basic knowledge of related modules such as SAP PP, MM or SD.
• Business‑fluent German and English skills, with the ability to communicate confidently with stakeholders at all organisational levels.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, combined with a solid understanding of business processes.
• A proactive, hands‑on approach, strong communication skills and the ability to drive topics forward.
• A collaborative mindset and the confidence to take ownership and lead initiatives.

Important:

We are particularly interested in candidates who combine technical SAP knowledge with strong business process expertise and leadership potential. This is not a pure development role.
