Job description

## Senior Manager — SAP Finance Solution Architect (RTR & Global Tax Compliance)Bewerben: Hybrid: Bangalore: Full time: Heute ausgeschrieben: R51134Xylem ist ein Fortune 500 Wassertechnologieunternehmen mit global 23.000 Mitarbeitenden in über 100 Ländern und einer Mission: unseren Kunden durch innovative Technologielösungen und unser Fachwissen bei der Lösung von Wasserproblemen und -herausforderungen zu helfen. Wir sind der weltweit führende Anbieter effizienter, innovativer und nachhaltiger Wassertechnologien, die dafür sorgen, dass unser Wasser nachhaltig genutzt, optimal verwaltet, erhalten und wiederverwendet wird.This role owns the design and governance of Record-to-Report processes, financial controls, consolidation, statutory reporting, and global tax compliance capabilities. The position ensures financial transactions are accurately recorded, reported, and aligned with regulatory requirements across all jurisdictions. As a key steward of financial integrity within the digital core, the role enables transparent and reliable financial reporting. The leader supports transformation efforts by standardizing finance processes while balancing local compliance requirements. Their expertise is essential for protecting the company's financial governance framework and ensuring business confidence in financial data.**Record-to-report solution architecture**● Own the end-to-end RTR design across the S/4HANA global template: Universal Journal, General Ledger,Asset Accounting, Controlling, Product Costing, Profitability Analysis, Intercompany, and Consolidation.● Own the global enterprise structure and finance master data design — chart of accounts, company codes,ledgers, controlling areas, profit and cost center hierarchies, and reporting dimensions — with the discipline tokeep it stable as segments and acquisitions are added.● Design the financial close: period-end architecture, close task orchestration, intercompany reconciliation andelimination, foreign currency valuation, allocations, and close cycle time optimization.● Own parallel accounting design across group and local GAAP requirements — ledger strategy, valuationapproaches, and the treatment of statutory differences.● Design product costing and margin analysis for a manufacturing and engineered-products environment,including standard costing, variance analysis, WIP, and service and project cost flows.● Ensure finance design integrity across integration points — order-to-cash, source-to-pay, plan-to-manufacture,and project systems all post to your ledger, and the design has to hold at every one of those seams. **Global tax and statutory compliance**● Own the global tax architecture across indirect tax (VAT, GST, sales and use), withholding tax, and the taxdetermination logic embedded in transactional processes.● Design and govern integration with tax engines and e-invoicing and e-reporting platforms, including countrymandates for real-time and near-real-time reportingOwn statutory and legal reporting design per country — local ledgers, statutory chart requirements, documentnumbering, audit file formats, and regulatory submissions.● Maintain the localization roadmap across deployment waves, tracking mandate changes and ensuring thetemplate absorbs them without fracturing.● Partner with corporate tax, transfer pricing, and treasury on design decisions with financial and complianceconsequence, and translate their requirements into system design rather than accepting them as configurationrequests.● Ensure finance controls and SOX requirements are designed in, working with the GRC architect so controlevidence is produced by the system. **Template governance and delivery**● Act as the design authority for finance: approve or reject template deviations, hold the standardization line, andescalate rather than absorb when a segment pushes for local variation without statutory basis.● Lead fit-to-standard workshops with global process owners and segment finance leadership, and drive processharmonization decisions to closure.● Support deployment waves through localization design, testing strategy, cutover finance validation, openingbalance verification, and hypercare defect resolution.● Partner with the Data Migration and MDG leads on finance data — GL balances, open AR and AP, fixedassets, and cost object conversion — where accuracy is audited, not merely tested.● Lead a team of finance functional architects and consultants, and hold system integrator delivery accountablefor finance design quality. **Qualifications****Required**● 15+ years in SAP finance, with at least 8 years in S/4HANA Finance and 5+ years as a solution architect onglobal programs.● Deep expertise across S/4HANA Finance: Universal Journal, GL, Asset Accounting, Controlling, productcosting, margin analysis, and Group Reporting or consolidation.● Proven RTR solution ownership on at least two global S/4HANA implementations, including multi-country,multi-ledger, multi-currency design.● Strong global tax and statutory compliance background — indirect tax determination, withholding tax,localization, and e-invoicing mandates across multiple regions.● Demonstrated experience integrating an external tax engine (Vertex, OneSource, Avalara, or equivalent) ande-invoicing platforms.● Accounting foundation — CA, CPA, MBA Finance, or equivalent — sufficient to hold a substantiveconversation with a controller, not only with a consultant.● Track record of defending a global finance template against local pressure, with the judgment to distinguishgenuine statutory requirement from preference.● Experience with financial close optimization and measurable close cycle reduction. **Preferred**● SAP Group Reporting, Central Finance, or BPC consolidation experience.● SAP Analytics Cloud or Datasphere for financial planning and reporting.● Treasury, in-house cash, or bank communication management.● Project System and service cost accounting for an installed-base and aftermarket business.● Manufacturing and engineered-products costing complexity: variant configuration, make-to-order, andlong-cycle projects.● Experience integrating acquisitions into a common finance template and chart of accounts. **Success in the First 12 Months**A stable, documented finance template with an explicit and defended boundary between global standard andstatutory local requirement. A localization roadmap covering upcoming waves and known mandate changes.Close cycle time baselined and improving in deployed entities. Finance controls designed in and evidencedautomatically. Clean opening balances and audited conversion results in every wave. And finance designdecisions made with speed and finality, so the program stops relitigating them. **Operating Principles You Will Work Under**● Products, not projects. Persistent teams aligned to value streams, funded by capacity rather than projectcycles, each paired with a business process owner accountable for the outcome.● Clean core is non-negotiable. Extensions live on BTP, the core stays standard, and custom code isgoverned at the point of creation.● Paved road, not toll booth. Golden paths, reference architectures, and reusable patterns, with guardrailsenforced in the pipeline rather than in a design authority meeting.● Compliance by default. Controls are designed into the platform and evidenced automatically, so controlintegrity holds at deployment scale.● Accountable for value, not volume. Success is measured in business process KPIs, adoption, and realizedvalue, not tickets closed or hours delivered.● Intelligent enterprise by design. AI and agent enablement, and the data readiness that makes both credible,are owned capabilities.● Global template authority, local execution. Template integrity is held centrally through the currentdeployment horizon, with a defined path to greater product-team autonomy.
