Job description

Digital Futurus is a US technology partner delivering SAP, Data & AI, and custom software to manufacturing, retail, financial services and logistics businesses.

The Role

We’re looking for a senior SAP FICO leader to drive end-to-end SAP implementations with a strong Finance, Controlling and Group Reporting focus. This is a hands-on role for someone who knows FICO deeply and can also run the project: scope, schedule, budget, people and stakeholders. You’ll work closely with client finance leaders, SAP functional teams and our onsite/offshore delivery team, mostly in manufacturing environments.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the functional lead for SAP FICO and Group Reporting, making sure solution design meets the client’s business, financial and consolidation requirements.
• Manage SAP implementation projects with a FICO-first approach, delivering on scope, schedule, budget and quality.
• Lead every phase of the implementation: requirements gathering, blueprinting, configuration oversight, testing, cutover and post-go-live support.
• Bring deep expertise across SAP FICO, including General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable; Cost Center and Profit Center Accounting; Product Costing and Cost Object Controlling; Profitability Analysis (CO-PA); Project System (PS), Results Analysis and Settlement; Overhead Assessment and Settlement; and Month-End and Year-End Close.
• Design and implement SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting for multi-entity organizations, covering consolidation structures, intercompany matching and reconciliation, eliminations, currency translation, and consolidated financial statements.
• Align the entity close with the group consolidation cycle to support a faster, more reliable financial close.
• Drive integration between FICO and MM, PP and SD so financial and operational processes work end to end.
• Translate complex finance and business processes into clear SAP functional requirements and solutions.
• Ensure compliance with US GAAP, financial reporting standards and internal controls.
• Guide onsite and offshore teams, providing functional direction and project oversight.
• Communicate with finance leadership, business stakeholders and IT teams to manage risks, issues and dependencies.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration or a related field; MBA preferred.
• 12+ years of SAP experience with deep hands-on FICO expertise, including at least 3 full-cycle SAP FICO implementations in manufacturing.
• Hands-on experience with SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting or SAP consolidation solutions (such as EC-CS or BPC) in multi-entity environments.
• A track record of leading FICO workstreams or serving as functional lead with project management responsibility.
• Strong knowledge of US GAAP, consolidation accounting and financial reporting requirements.
• Proven ability to work across functional teams and manage stakeholders at all levels.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills.

Nice to Have

• FICO integration experience across MM, PP and SD.
• Food & Beverage industry experience.
• SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) exposure.
• Experience with onsite/offshore delivery models.
• Experience migrating from legacy consolidation tools (BPC, EC-CS) to S/4HANA Group Reporting.
