Job description

Salary: Up to £70,000 depending on experience

Working Model: Hybrid, 2 to 3 days per week on-site, with regular travel to France and occasional travel to Italy

Security: British Citizen or Dual UK national with British citizenship

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced SAP professional to play a key role in a major ECC6 to S/4HANA transformation programme within a leading international defence organisation.

This is not simply a business-as-usual SAP support position. You will help shape the future SAP landscape across a multinational organisation, working across the UK, France and Italy as the business moves from its existing ECC6 environment towards S/4HANA.

Your focus will be the Procurement function, where you will take ownership of SAP MM and Procure-to-Pay solutions while working closely with business stakeholders, technical teams and external system integrators.

The role

• Take ownership of SAP MM and Procure-to-Pay solutions as part of a major S/4HANA transformation.
• Help shape the future procurement solution, challenging requirements and encouraging the use of standard SAP functionality where appropriate.
• Lead SAP changes and projects from requirements through to implementation.
• Support the migration from ECC6 to S/4HANA, identifying potential challenges and helping ensure a smooth transition.
• Act as a key technology partner to the Procurement function, translating business requirements into effective SAP solutions.
• Work across the wider SAP programme to manage integration with areas including Finance, Manufacturing, EWM, TM and GTS.
• Investigate and resolve complex issues across the P2P landscape.
• Collaborate with international stakeholders across the UK, France and Italy.
• Work closely with third-party implementation and systems integration partners.
• Operate within a structured change, governance and delivery environment.

What we’re looking for

• Strong commercial experience with SAP ECC and S/4HANA.
• Proven experience contributing to or delivering ECC to S/4HANA transformation programmes.
• Strong SAP MM and Procure-to-Pay knowledge.
• Good understanding of SAP integration with Finance and other functions such as EWM, TM and GTS.
• Experience owning SAP projects, solutions or significant system changes through to delivery.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work directly with business functions and challenge proposed solutions.
• Experience working within formal change control and governance processes.
• SAP Global Trade Services (GTS).
• Procurement data migration, including master and transactional data.
• Experience working within complex, multinational SAP transformation programmes.

What’s on offer

• Salary up to £70,000, depending on experience.
• Bonus opportunity of up to 21% of base salary.
• Pension contributions of up to 14% combined employer and employee.
• Hybrid working, typically 2 to 3 days per week on-site.
• Regular travel to France and occasional travel to Italy.

This is a strong opportunity for an SAP professional who wants to be involved in a genuine S/4HANA transformation, rather than simply supporting an established SAP environment. You will have the opportunity to influence solution design, migration and the future operating model of SAP across a complex international organisation.
