You have lived inside SAP for more than a decade, and you want a system you can take ownership of rather than supervise from a distance. You read a configuration and know what's sound and what's been mis-built; you've cleaned master data that others let decay; and you've stood across the table from an implementation partner and refused work that didn't meet the standard. You lead a small specialist team without losing your own hands-on edge, and you can make a thorny SAP reality intelligible to a finance or procurement head who doesn't care how it works, only that it does. The work is to make our SAP landscape correct, clean, and reliable — then keep it that way. In practice that means taking direct authority over how the platform is configured and unwinding what has been set up wrong; establishing master data structure, ownership, and the governance that stops it from sliding back; driving the working-level delivery of implementation and re-configuration efforts and personally validating what the partner hands over; and running the system day to day across finance, procurement, project, and inventory processes for a large user base — transaction integrity, issue triage, change control, and the steady operational discipline a system of record demands. You set the technical standard for the section and hold it. 12+ years in SAP, with strong hands-on S/4HANA configuration experienceAt least one full implementation delivered through to live operationWorking command across finance and controlling, materials and procurement, and project systems — not a single corner of the suiteA real record of building or rescuing master data and transaction integrity in a live environmentThe technical authority to direct an implementation partner and judge the quality of their workExperience leading a technical team; relevant degree; SAP certification a strong advantageSAP in construction, engineering, or another large project-based business — an advantage
