As Finance Team Leader, you will play a hands‑on leadership role across SAP FICO and S / 4HANA Finance, combining people leadership, solution ownership, and client‑facing delivery.

• Act as solution lead for SAP FICO across GL, AP, AR, Asset Accounting, Controlling, and Universal Journal.
• Work closely with stakeholders across IT, Finance, and the consulting arm to align system design with business needs.
• Support pre‑sales activities, solution design, and client workshops where required.
• Ensure high‑quality delivery across multiple client environments, not tied to a single SAP instance.
• Mentor and develop team members, promoting S / 4HANA capability growth and certification.
• Ensure compliance with finance controls, audit requirements, and reporting standards.

Required Experience & Skills

• Strong functional experience in SAP FICO, with S / 4HANA Finance as a core requirement.
• Proven experience working on SAP S / 4HANA implementations, upgrades, or brownfield conversions.
• Solid understanding of end‑to‑end finance processes, particularly R2R, with exposure to P2P and O2C.
• Experience working across multiple SAP environments (internal and client‑facing).
• Comfortable operating in a consulting‑style delivery model.
• Demonstrated team leadership or mentoring experience.
• Ability and willingness to travel to client sites when needed.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.

Certifications (Essential)

• SAP FICO Certification (ECC and / or S / 4HANA)
• SAP S / 4HANA Finance certification(s) strongly preferred

Why This Role?

• Work on S / 4HANA Finance at scale, both internally and with clients
• Variety of projects and environments — not tied to a single SAP system
• True mix of leadership, hands‑on SAP work, and client engagement
• Long‑term career progression in a growing SAP consulting function
