Job description

About the role

In this role, you will work at an important interface between internal stakeholders and the SAP technical team. The role is suitable for someone who already has some practical experience with SAP environments or other similar technical maintenance and support work, and who wants to further grow their expertise alongside more experienced specialists.

We offer a competitive salary (approx. €2,800–€4,000/month), the opportunity for significant professional development, and learning with the support of experienced colleagues. You will receive comprehensive onboarding and a flexible working model that considers work-life balance. You will work as part of a supportive team where everyone’s contribution is valued.

Work tasks

Your main duty will be to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the SAP production environment through continuous maintenance and monitoring. The job involves close cooperation with an external SAP team, ticket management, and system configuration, offering an opportunity to deepen your expertise as a SAP Basis specialist.

In your role, you will be responsible for, among other things:

• Daily maintenance of the SAP environment and supporting production continuity
• Monitoring, troubleshooting error situations, and analyzing technical problems
• Cooperation with the SAP ECS team and managing necessary tickets in the SAP for Me environment
• Coordinating maintenance breaks, downtimes, and other technical changes
• Supporting the deployment of transports to production
• Individual system setting changes and service activations
• Coordinating technical observations and measures with different stakeholders

We are looking for

What we hope from you

In this role, the most important thing is not a perfect list of all SAP Basis expertise areas, but the ability to get involved in technical daily operations and learn quickly. So you are not necessarily a senior yet, but not quite at the beginning of your career either. You have already seen enough of practical IT or SAP environments to work independently without constant hands‑on guidance.

You might be the person we are looking for if you have

• already some experience in SAP Basis tasks, technical application support, or a similar maintenance environment
• a technical mindset and the ability to understand where problems may originate from
• readiness to investigate, learn, and take responsibility for practical work
• ability to work in English
• possibility to work in a hybrid model in Espoo (after onboarding 2-3 days/week remotely ok)

We consider it an advantage if you have experience in, for example

• SAP Basis maintenance
• SAP for Me tool
• monitoring, analyzing short dump errors, and investigating error situations
• transport management
• security note implementations
• EarlyWatch or Cloud ALM environments – ownership of this
• system or client copy operations
• knowledge of ABAP basics

We Offer You

• an opportunity to work in an interesting and business‑critical SAP environment
• a role where you get to grow your expertise through hands‑on work
• an expert team and collaboration with experienced SAP professionals
• a hybrid work model: work is done mainly in Espoo, at least 2–3 days a week at the office, more during the onboarding phase
• a salary of approx. €2,800–€4,000/month depending on expertise and experience, and for very experienced specialists, the level can be higher

Other Good to Know Information

• The role occasionally involves on‑call situations related to maintenance breaks in the evenings or on weekends. These occur a few times a year, but during these times we hope for readiness to be at the computer if necessary
• A security clearance will be conducted for the person selected for the position
• Start date is as soon as possible after finding a suitable person

Our selection process is continuous and the advert may close before the recruitment process is completed if we have moved forward to the next phase. The process includes two tests: one personality test and one cognitive test. The tests are tools to find the right talent for the right position, to enable equality, diversity, and a fair process.
