Job description

Accenture is a leading global professional services company, providing a broad range of services at scale across Strategy & Consulting, Interactive, Technology and Operations, with digital capabilities embedded across all of them.

We combine unparalleled experience and specialized expertise across more than 40 industries, powered by the world’s largest network of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Operations centers.

With 513,000 people serving clients in over 120 countries, Accenture drives continuous innovation to help clients improve performance and create lasting value for their businesses.

About The Role

We are hiring a senior leader who operates across every workstream on a major S/4HANA programme and owns the moments where they all converge.

Your primary specialism is Cross functional design, Testing, Cutover, and cross-functional issue resolution across Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, Procurement, Commercial, Data, and others.

What you will do

• Lead cross-functional issue resolution: Unblock the integrated defects, design gaps, and master data dependencies that no single workstream can solve alone. Run the triage forums, broker decisions, and elevate to Leadership.
• Support testing strategy and lead or participate in implementation: SIT, UAT, regression, integration, performance, and validation testing for a multi-country rollout, AI-accelerated where possible.
• Run the cutover programme: Mock cycles, dress rehearsals, data migration cutover, go/no-go governance, command centre, and hypercare.
• Operate across all S/4 workstreams: Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Procurement, Quality, Commercial, Data & Analytics, etc: translating between functional design and integrated end-to-end scenarios.
• Connect delivery to transformation: Read test and cutover findings as operating model, process, and change adoption signals: not just technical defects, and engage business leadership in their language.

What We Are Looking For

• 7+ years in SAP-led transformations, with at least two S/4HANA go-lives in regulated industries (pharma, medtech, biotech).
• Cross-functional S/4 fluency: credible across modules
• Proven leadership of large-scale test programmes and cutover playbooks;
• Working knowledge of GxP, GAMP 5, and computer systems validation.
• Fluent English and Spanish.

Nice to have

• Hands-on use of GenAI for test generation, requirements analysis, or defect triage.
• Exposure to, Signavio, LeanIX, or SAP BTP.

Why this role is different

Most S/4 specialists are recruited into a single workstream. This role sits deliberately at the intersection of delivery and transformation: the person who runs integrated testing, cutover, and cross-functional issue resolution is the person the business trusts with operational continuity.

What do we offer?

At Accenture, recognized as a Great Place To Work®, we embrace a hybrid working model that—supported by technology and our office environments—helps us maintain the human connection that is essential when working with our teams and clients. This connection also enables us to foster a strong culture of inclusion and diversity, making us, according to Refinitiv, the most diverse company in the world.

In addition, we offer a range of benefits, including:

• Private health, life and accident insurance
• Medical services and wellbeing programs
• Flexible benefits program and employee share purchase plan
• Flexible working arrangements (working hours, time off, holidays, etc.)
• Personalized learning and development paths
• Sustainability initiatives and Accenture Foundation programs
• Employee networks focused on diversity and inclusion
• Additional perks such as a Bankinter branch with special conditions and profit-sharing opportunities
