Responsibilities

• Lead deployment of the SAP S/4HANA RTR solution into the local business organization and serve as the primary liaison between the Global RTR Build Team and local finance stakeholders.
• Translate the global RTR template and deployment strategy into an executable local plan covering localization, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and readiness.
• Coordinate validation of General Ledger, Universal Journal, Fixed Assets, Cost Center Accounting, Profit Center Accounting, Product Costing, Intercompany Accounting, Financial Close, and Reporting processes.
• Identify and govern justified local statutory, legal, tax, regulatory, reporting, and operational requirements while minimizing deviations from the Global Template.

• Lead local finance engagement for chart-of-accounts validation, financial master-data readiness, asset-data migration, historical-balance migration, open-transaction conversion, reconciliation, and business sign-off.
• Ensure data quality, completeness, financial controls, and audit requirements are addressed through mock conversions and production migration cycles.
• Lead RTR testing, including localization of scenarios and scripts, SIT, UAT, end-to-end testing, parallel close, regression testing, defect prioritization, remediation, retesting, and business approval.
• Assess finance-business readiness and coordinate training, communication, stakeholder engagement, user adoption, readiness metrics, risk assessments, and Go/No-Go criteria.
• Develop and manage the RTR deployment playbook and detailed cutover plan, including mock cutovers, dress rehearsals, financial reconciliation, validation checkpoints, resource coordination, and business sign-offs.
• Participate in command-center operations and Go-Live decisions, and coordinate first-period close preparation and stabilization planning.
• Lead hypercare, issue triage, defect resolution, escalation management, the first month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close, and transition of documentation, knowledge, and support procedures to AMS and Run teams.
