Job description
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:
o Payroll (when applicable)
o Personnel Admin
o 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:
o Infotypes
o Enterprise structure
o Payroll elements (if applicable)
- Validate fixes through end-to-end system testing
Migration Execution (Factory Model)
- Execute structured, repeatable migration tasks with precision
- Perform:
o Data validation
o System checks
o 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:
o Trace payroll and HCM processing logic
o 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:
o Identify whether issue is config vs code
- Analyze:
o SAP Notes
o Support packs
o Enhancements
Collaboration
- Work closely with:
o Functional teams
o Technical/ABAP teams
o Migration factory team
- Communicate clearly with both technical and business stakeholders
Requirements
- 5+ years hands-on SAP HCM configuration
- Proven experience in L3/Tier 3 support
- Strong ability to:
o Perform root cause analysis independently
o Work in SPRO/customizing
- Experience with:
o Payroll or adjacent HCM modules
- Ability to:
o 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
