Job description

Job Title: Senior SAP FICO Consultant

Location: Cork, Ireland (Hybrid)

Position Type: Full-Time / Permanent

Compensation: Competitive Base Comprehensive Benefits Package

About the Opportunity

On behalf of my client, I am looking to speak with experienced SAP FICO Consultants who are interested in playing a pivotal role in large-scale enterprise finance transformation.

My client is an established, forward-thinking organisation with a strong operational footprint in Cork. They are currently expanding their enterprise systems function to deliver high-impact digital roadmaps, modernise financial architecture, and prepare core processes for future-state SAP technologies.

This role provides genuine autonomy, high-level business stakeholder engagement, and the technical scope to influence end-to-end finance solutions in an environment that actively invests in its people and modern toolsets.

Key Responsibilities

• Business Process & Solution Design: Partner directly with finance leadership and process owners to translate complex business needs into scalable SAP FICO functional designs and robust system configuration.
• Core Module Configuration: Deliver hands-on functional configuration and continuous system enhancements across core FI and CO sub-modules (General Ledger, AP, AR, Asset Accounting, Cost Center Accounting, Profit Center Accounting, and Internal Orders).
• Cross-Module Integration: Collaborate closely with supply chain and operations teams to manage critical integration touchpoints (primarily MM, SD, and PP), ensuring data consistency and streamlined cross-functional workflows.
• Project & Lifecycle Delivery: Lead and support key phases across full delivery cycles-from blueprinting, process mapping, and design workshops through to build, UAT, cutover strategy, and hypercare support.
• Process Optimisation & Continuous Improvement: Identify areas to automate finance routines, accelerate period-end closing, improve reporting accuracy, and evaluate new SAP functional releases.
• Functional Leadership: Serve as a subject matter expert on financial configuration and best practices, providing clear guidance to technical colleagues and mentorship to junior team members.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands-on functional consulting and configuration experience in SAP FICO.
• Full-Lifecycle Track Record: Direct involvement across full end-to-end implementation lifecycles, upgrades, or complex business-led enhancement initiatives.
• Technical Depth: Proven expertise configuring core FI modules (GL, AP, AR, AA) and CO components (CCA, PCA, IO; Product Costing / CO-PA experience is a distinct advantage).
• System Integration: Solid understanding of standard financial integration points with logistical modules (SD, MM, PP).
• Stakeholder Focus: Strong communication, workshop facilitation, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to bridge technical delivery and commercial finance realities.
• Desirable Extras: Prior exposure to or certification in SAP S/4HANA (Finance), Central Finance (cFIN), or SAP Fiori is highly regarded, though strong ECC 6.0 foundational expertise looking to step into S/4 environments is equally valued.
