Support solution design and documentation, ensuring traceability from requirements to configuration and test evidence.

Plan and execute SIT/UAT activities, coordinate defect resolution, and ensure quality of functional deliverables.

Ensure robust integration and data consistency between FI/CO and SD/MM, supporting end-to-end Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay financial flows and reconciliations.

Contribute to S/4HANA Finance architecture decisions (Universal Journal/ACDOCA, simplified data model) and integration with reporting and analytics layers.

Support deployments in S/4HANA Private Cloud (preferred) and advise on differences vs. On-Premise/Public Cloud approaches.

Work effectively with Finance stakeholders (Accounting, Controlling, FP&A) and cross-functional SAP streams, bridging business and IT perspectives.
