This role owns the SAP Controlling landscape end-to-end - including Cost Center Accounting, Profit Center Accounting, Internal Orders, Product Costing, and Profitability Analysis - while working closely with O2C, P2P, P2D and CA teams to ensure accurate, integrated financial data across the organization. The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on technical/functional expertise, proven experience integrating SAP CO with FI, MM, SD, and external systems, and the communication skills to present solutions clearly to business stakeholders and manage consultants., To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Business Process Design & Improvement * Act as the primary business-facing process owner for SAP CO - spending regular, recurring time with business leads in Finance, Controllership, and cross-functional module teams. * Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand gaps and pain points, translate business needs into functional requirements, and design scalable, efficient SAP CO processes. * Define and track KPIs and process performance metrics jointly with business owners, and report progress back to them on a regular cadence. * Establish and run a standing business process governance forum (e.g., monthly SAP CO process review) to surface emerging issues, prioritize backlog items, and keep process design decisions transparent and business-led. Driving Design Workshops & Business Engagement * Own end-to-end workshop planning and delivery: define objectives, identify the right stakeholders, build the agenda, and drive the session to concrete, documented decisions and next steps. * Plan and facilitate requirements-gathering and process design workshops with cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, Controllership, and cross-functional module teams - driving discussions toward decisions rather than open-ended brainstorming. * Run fit-gap and solution design sessions with business and technical teams, presenting options, trade-offs, and recommendations, and driving alignment on process decisions and configuration approaches. * Use visual facilitation techniques (process maps, whiteboarding, journey maps) in live sessions to help business stakeholders see and agree on the proposed design in real time. * Manage constructive conflict in workshops - surfacing and resolving competing priorities between functions (e.g., Finance, Controllership, and cross-functional module teams) to reach a workable, business-endorsed outcome. Implementation and Configuration * Design, configure, and implement SAP CO modules - including Cost Center Accounting, Profit Center Accounting, Internal Orders, Product Costing, Material Management, and Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) - to meet business requirements and financial objectives. * Translate business and financial reporting requirements into scalable SAP CO configuration and design. * Lead or support full-cycle SAP CO implementations, upgrades, and enhancement projects, including blueprinting, configuration, testing, and go-live support. * Perform periodic reviews of CO configuration to identify opportunities for process improvement and standardization. Systems Integration * Own hands-on integration between SAP CO and FI, MM, SD, and other SAP module teams to ensure seamless data flow and accurate financial results across the organization. * Partner with technical teams on integrations between SAP CO and external systems, ensuring data integrity across the finance and operations landscape. * Support month-end and quarter-end close activities, ensuring cost allocations, settlements, and profitability data are accurate and timely. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and resolve integration issues affecting cost and profitability reporting. Team & Stakeholder Management * Lead, mentor, and develop a team of SAP functional analysts/consultants supporting CO. * Act as primary liaison between business stakeholders (Finance leadership, Controllership, and technical teams) and technical teams. * Manage vendor and implementation partner relationships for CO-related projects and integrations. * Prepare and present status updates, roadmaps, and risk assessments to senior leadership. Project & Change Management * Lead SAP CO enhancement projects, upgrades, and rollouts, including requirements gathering, solution design, testing, and deployment. * Ensure proper documentation of business processes, configuration, and support procedures. * Drive adherence to change management, testing, and release governance standards. * Support audits and ensure compliance/internal controls across CO processes. ## Related Videos - [Design as an algorithm, not as a feature](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/471-design-as-an-algorithm-not-as-a-feature) - [Python-Based Data Streaming Pipelines Within Minutes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1233-python-based-data-streaming-pipelines-within-minutes) - [Transforming Task Management: Integrating Camunda with Scalable Frontend Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1433-transforming-task-management-integrating-camunda-with-scalable-frontend-solutions) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [Replacing Excel with SAP APIs & Python validation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1944-replacing-excel-with-sap-apis-python-validation) - [Leveraging Server-Sent Events (SSE) for Efficient Data Streaming in UI Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/905-leveraging-server-sent-events-sse-for-efficient-data-streaming-in-ui-development) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [Best Companies to Work For in Berlin: Top 14 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/188-best-companies-to-work-for-in-berlin-top-14-companies-in-2023) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges)
