This is a 6-month fixed term contract opportunity for an experienced Systems Test Analyst. You'll have strong SAP functional experience, as this role is pivotal in supporting project-based activities, ensuring seamless SAP Finance processing for the migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA.

• Solid experience using SQL and understanding of database technologies, enabling you to extract and analyse data, investigate issues, and support informed decision-making.
• Proven technical ability to deliver system enhancements and resolve defects. This is not a developer role, and hands-on coding is not required.
