SAP Senior Manager
Senior Manager SAP
The Opportunity
If you've moved into SAP leadership and miss being in the system, this role is worth reading.
Most senior SAP roles make you choose: lead the team or stay close to the configuration. This one doesn't. You'll lead the SAP functional team and still be the person who reviews the config, cracks the hardest production issues and sets the design direction.
You'll own functional delivery across a broad S/4HANA landscape, with FI/CO at the centre. Your decisions shape how the whole platform runs, not just one module.
There's real work to do. Releases need stabilising, production support needs tightening, and the function needs the KPIs, SLAs and processes that turn a busy SAP team into a well-run one. If you like leaving things better than you found them, there's plenty of scope here.
The Role
You'll be responsible for:
Leading, mentoring and developing a team of SAP functional analysts, senior analysts and external consultants
Owning functional solution design, configuration standards and architectural direction across S/4HANA
Stepping into the system yourself for complex configuration, troubleshooting and production issues
Taking ownership of production support, hypercare and post-release stabilisation
Driving a clean-core approach built on standard SAP functionality, configuration and Fiori
Overseeing integrations between S/4HANA, Ariba, SuccessFactors and third-party platforms
Setting the KPIs, SLAs, incident standards and support processes the function runs on
Working with business stakeholders to turn process requirements into scalable SAP solutions
Alongside FI/CO, you'll work across SD, MM, PP, PM, Ariba and Fiori. That gives you a view of the full end-to-end landscape, which is rare in a finance-led SAP role.
What You'll Need
10+ years' SAP experience in complex enterprise environments
Strong hands-on S/4HANA experience, including at least one full lifecycle implementation
Deep FI/CO expertise across General Ledger, AP, AR, Fixed Assets and Product Costing
Experience leading SAP functional teams, in a direct or matrix capacity
A willingness to stay hands-on and work directly in SAP when needed
