Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Finance Business Process Owner to support a SAP Finance implementation by leading upfront business process design and translating those processes into clear, actionable system requirements. This role will sit at the intersection of Finance, Operations, and IT, ensuring that core financial processes are well-defined, aligned to business needs, and effectively mapped to SAP capabilities.
The engagement will begin with deep process discovery and design, followed by facilitation of workshops and documentation of requirements to support configuration and implementation of SAP Finance modules. This role is ideal for someone who understands both financial business operations and how SAP Finance (FICO / S/4HANA) supports and constrains those processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end finance business process design to support an upcoming SAP Finance implementation.
- Facilitate structured workshops with Finance and business stakeholders to define current-state and future-state financial processes.
- Document core finance processes including, but not limited to, record-to-report, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, and financial close.
- Translate business process definitions into clear functional requirements for SAP Finance modules.
- Act as the bridge between business stakeholders and the SAP implementation team, ensuring requirements are understood, feasible, and aligned with SAP capabilities.
- Advise stakeholders on what SAP Finance can and cannot do, helping guide process decisions and design trade-offs.
- Support requirements validation, prioritization, and refinement as implementation planning progresses.
- Ensure process designs support scalability, controls, compliance, and reporting needs.
- Provide ongoing input and clarification during the implementation lifecycle as questions arise.
Required Qualifications
- Strong background in finance business processes, with hands-on experience in accounting, controllership, FP&A, or finance operations.
- Demonstrated experience supporting or leading SAP Finance implementations from a business or functional perspective.
- Working knowledge of SAP FICO and/or SAP S/4HANA Finance, including how financial processes map to SAP functionality.
- Proven ability to lead workshops, facilitate discussions, and align cross-functional stakeholders.
- Experience translating business processes into detailed functional requirements.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both business and technical audiences.
- Ability to work independently in a remote environment while driving outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications
- Direct experience as a Business Process Owner, Functional Lead, or Finance SME on SAP implementations.
- Experience working in complex, enterprise-scale finance environments.
- Familiarity with change management considerations tied to finance system transformations.
- Experience supporting process standardization across multiple business units or geographies.
Engagement Notes
- This role is process-first, with SAP requirements derived from well-defined business workflows.
- The consultant will not be responsible for technical configuration, but will play a critical role in shaping implementation success.
- Occasional travel may be required for key workshops or stakeholder sessions.
