Responsibilities

• Prepare for and actively participate in mapping workshops, ensuring the appropriate data stewards are confirmed and present for each object session.

• Support defect triage during mock conversion cycles by tracing each defect back to its root cause — whether code, mapping rule, or source data.
• Track source remediation items in collaboration with data stewards and business teams, following each item through to closure.
• Validate samples of converted data against legacy records and documented business rules to confirm accuracy and completeness.

Skills

• Strong workshop facilitation skills, with the ability to draw out business rules from subject matter experts and confirm them back with precision.
• SAP IS-U or SAP S/4HANA Utilities conversion mapping expertise, particularly across billing, contract account, and premise objects.
• Ability to produce mapping documentation that is unambiguous and immediately actionable for development teams.
• Analytical mindset for tracing data defects across code, rules, and source systems during triage cycles.
• SQL proficiency for profiling, querying, and validating source and target data sets.
• Familiarity with SAP migration tooling and standard mapping templates.

Experience

• 5 or more years of hands‑on experience in data conversion or data mapping roles.
• Demonstrated experience with SAP IS-U or SAP S/4HANA Utilities conversion mapping projects.
• Experience supporting or leading multiple mock conversion cycles through to cutover readiness.
