About the Role
We are currently supporting a leading German organization in hiring a SAP Developer / Integration Consultant to strengthen their internal HR Tech & Payroll integration capabilities. You will join a cross-functional team responsible for maintaining and developing complex interfaces between SAP and Workday (Other third party).
This is a permanent in-house position with a remote-first setup — ideal for candidates seeking long-term stability and the opportunity to work on high-impact internal systems, rather than external client projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain SAP-side integrations within a complex, heavily customised system landscape
- Support existing HR and Payroll processes by ensuring reliable SAP <>
Workday data flows
- Collaborate closely with both SAP and Workday teams (structurally separate but working in tandem)
- Gradually take ownership of key interfaces and serve as a backup to the current senior SAP integration expert
- Contribute to reducing risk by increasing internal redundancy and improving continuity in critical system integrations
Must-Have Skills
- Strong SAP development experience (e.g., ABAP, custom module work)
- Solid understanding of SAP integrations, especially in HR or Payroll environments
- Comfortable navigating complex system architectures
- Based in Germany (due to employment, tax, and team structure requirements)
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Prior exposure to Workday integrations is a strong plus
- Basic German language skills (English-only candidates may face communication barriers in this team)
- Ability and willingness to grow into a cross-system integration lead role over time
What You’ll Achieve in the First 6 Months
- Get up to speed with the internal integration landscape across SAP HR, Workday, and proprietary systems
- Learn the internal tools and configuration approaches used by the team
- Begin contributing independently to SAP-side integration development
- Serve as a reliable support for the existing senior SAP integration expert
Challenges & Environment
This is not a greenfield role. The integration environment is mature and complex, with deep customisations and dependencies. The ideal candidate will bring patience, curiosity, and strong problem-solving skills to navigate this structure and add long-term value.
Why Join?
- Remote-first culture : Only 1 day / month required onsite
- Stable, in-house position in a well-established organisation (27,000 employees)
- Exposure to Workday : A rare chance to deepen your skills in a fast-growing HCM ecosystem
- Long-term opportunity : Become a key internal integration expert or future systems architect
- Visible impact : This role directly supports HR and payroll continuity across the business
