Job description

• Personnel Admin

ADP ESI Migration Factory is hiring a Senior SAP Migration Consultant.

ADP is seeking a hands-on SAP HCM Consultant to support the GlobalView to RISE / S/4HANA migration program, one of the largest SAP Payroll transformations globally.

This role operates in a true Tier 3 / L3 capacity, requiring deep expertise in SAP HCM configuration, payroll, and production issue resolution.

This is not a coordination or ticket-routing role. You will be expected to:

• Diagnose issues independently
• Implement configuration fixes
• Understand system behavior at a technical-functional level

If you cannot differentiate between configuration issues and ABAP defects, or lack hands-on SPRO experience, this role is not a fit.

What You’ll Do

L3 Production Support (Core Focus)

• Troubleshoot complex SAP HCM issues without escalation
• Perform root cause analysis across:
• Payroll (when applicable)
• Personnel Admin
• Organizational Management
• Analyze logs, tables, and system behavior to identify true system defects vs config gaps

Hands-On Configuration

• Execute configuration in SPRO
• Maintain and adjust:
• Infotypes
• Enterprise structure
• Payroll elements (if applicable)
• Validate fixes through end-to-end system testing

Migration Execution (Factory Model)

• Execute structured, repeatable migration tasks with precision
• Perform:
• Data validation
• System checks
• Pre/post migration activities
• Identify inconsistencies across environments and resolve them

ABAP Debugging & Technical Awareness (Required)

• Ability to read and debug ABAP code to support issue analysis
• Use debugging tools to:
• Trace payroll and HCM processing logic
• Identify whether issues are configuration or code-related
• Partner with ABAP teams but do not rely on them for initial diagnosis

This is not a developer role, but candidates MUST be able to debug and analyze code.

Technical Analysis

• Read/debug enough ABAP to:
• Identify whether issue is config vs code
• Analyze:
• SAP Notes
• Support packs
• Enhancements

Collaboration

• Work closely with:
• Functional teams
• Technical/ABAP teams
• Migration factory team
• Communicate clearly with both technical and business stakeholders

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

• 5+ years hands-on SAP HCM configuration
• Proven experience in L3/Tier 3 support
• Strong ability to:
• Perform root cause analysis independently
• Work in SPRO/customizing
• Experience with:
• Payroll or adjacent HCM modules
• Ability to:
• Differentiate config vs code issues
• Ability to read and debug ABAP code to support issue analysis

Disqualifiers

• L1/L2 support only (ticket triage, no configuration)
• Cannot explain how issues are debugged step-by-step
• No SPRO/config experience
• Cannot distinguish ABAP vs functional issues
• Resume-driven knowledge without real examples
• No experience with ABAP debugging or code analysis
• Cannot explain how to determine config vs ABAP issue
• Over-reliance on technical teams

What We Will Test

• SAP debugging approach
• Configuration depth (SPRO)
• Migration logic and validation thinking
• Ownership of issue resolution

Our Interview Process

• 1 Virtual Hiring Manager Interview 45 minutes duration
• 1 Technical Interview w/Panel 60 minutes duration
