Job description

The Director, SAP Technology Lead - Finance is a senior leadership position responsible for defining and executing the SAP Finance transformation strategy for the client. This role will architect the future of retail finance through SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP, collaborating closely with business and technology executives across the enterprise. The position oversees the end-to-end design, delivery, and ongoing support of enterprise retail finance capabilities, including orchestrating the migration of existing on-premise SAP S/4HANA Finance platforms to SAP RISE, applying clean core principles, and consolidating finance processes from legacy systems into a unified SAP environment.

This leader is accountable for setting enterprise finance technology standards, driving disciplined execution and alignment across all transformation workstreams, and partnering with finance business leadership and IT to guide System Integrator partners toward fit-to-standard, clean-core-aligned solutions that support a long-term cloud operating model. With a focus on AI and analytics, the Director will enable automated financial workflows, intelligent financial planning and analysis, predictive cash flow management, and real-time profitability insights across the organization. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in SAP S/4HANA Finance, hands-on RISE with SAP migration experience, and a proven track record in delivering large-scale ERP transformations in complex, high-volume environments.

Key responsibilities include defining and executing the SAP Finance transformation roadmap, establishing a strategic vision for SAP technologies, and leading the consolidation of finance-related functions into SAP S/4HANA Finance. The Director will ensure alignment between finance and adjacent operational capabilities, provide governance and strategic direction for SAP Finance architecture and integrations, and deliver intelligent automation to optimize finance processes. Additionally, this role is expected to provide inspirational leadership and direction for a purpose-driven team, with direct accountability for talent management and development.
