We’re working with a major manufacturing client to secure SAP Functional Consultants across Production Planning (PP), Materials Management (MM), and Finance & Controlling (FICO).

• Business-facing experience in procurement and supply chain operations
• Able to articulate business requirements and validate SAP solutions delivered by the SI
• Understanding of supplier management, purchasing, and inventory

3. SAP FICO (Finance & Controlling)

• Strong grasp of core finance processes: AP/AR, GL, cost centre reporting, etc.
• Comfortable working with finance stakeholders to represent their needs to the SI
• Knowledge of MM and SD integration points beneficial

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in business-facing SAP roles (functional/BA hybrid)
• Strong stakeholder communication and problem-solving abilities
• Ability to interpret and validate SI outputs against business needs
