Job description

SAP Finance & Operations Transformation Lead

• Duration: Initial 6-12 month contract, €550 - €675 / day
• Location: South Dublin / Hybrid working - flexible role
• Focus: SAP ECC 6.0, Finance & Operations Transformation

We are looking for an experienced SAP Finance & Operations Transformation Lead to drive a programme of business process improvement, operational efficiency and enhanced financial reporting within a large commercial organisation.

Working closely with senior Finance, Operations and IT stakeholders, you will take ownership of reviewing an existing SAP ECC 6.0 environment, identifying opportunities to maximise system functionality, streamline processes, improve reporting and automate manual activities.

This is a hands-on transformation and delivery role rather than a traditional SAP advisory or project management position. You will need strong functional knowledge across SAP FI/CO, SD and MM, combined with a solid understanding of finance and commercial operations. The emphasis is on optimising an established SAP environment, identifying practical improvements and personally driving their implementation through to measurable business benefits.

Key Requirements

• Extensive functional experience with SAP ECC 6.0, particularly FI/CO, SD and MM, with a strong understanding of cross-module integration.
• Proven experience reviewing and optimising existing SAP implementations, identifying underutilised functionality and reducing unnecessary customisations and manual workarounds.
• Strong understanding of end-to-end business processes including Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Record to Report, inventory management and financial reporting.
• Experience delivering SAP-enabled business transformation within finance, distribution, wholesale or other commercially focused environments.
• A track record of improving financial reporting, management information, data quality, reconciliations and operational controls.
• Experience identifying and implementing automation opportunities, ideally using Power BI, Power Automate and wider Microsoft Power Platform technologies.
• Strong stakeholder management and delivery skills, with the ability to work across senior leadership, Finance, Operations and IT teams.

We are looking for someone who is commercially minded, proactive and delivery focused, comfortable taking ownership of a broad transformation agenda and turning recommendations into tangible improvements. This is an excellent opportunity to make a direct impact on business operations while working closely with senior leadership.
