We're increasingly an AI-first delivery team - bringing agentic tooling and orchestration into how we design, analyse and deliver, with our people owning the judgement and the outcome. Experience of AI-enabled delivery models and digital accelerators is a real plus. Who You Are You lead with authority and earn trust fast with senior finance and executive stakeholders. You run the room in a design workshop and bring people with you. You have the breadth to hold an entire SAP finance solution in your head and the critical thinking to keep it coherent under pressure. You have commercial instinct - an eye for where an account can grow and a firm hand on scope, commercials and contract realities. You're a genuine team player who develops the people around you, and you're known for sound, decisive calls under pressure. Things that set strong candidates apart: all-round SAP finance design - knowing how the FI and CO modules work and fit together; a track record leading large-scale, multi-workstream SAP finance programmes end to end; SAP certification; and a professional finance or accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent industry experience). ## Description All-round SAP finance design. You know how the SAP finance modules work and fit together - Financial Accounting (General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Asset Accounting) and Controlling (Cost Centre and Profit Centre Accounting, CO-PA, Allocations, Product Costing) - with hands-on design depth in the Record-to-Report core and the range to pick up the wider estate, including Group Reporting, Central Finance and Project Systems. You understand how a legacy ECC landscape evolves into an S/4HANA-enabled finance operating model, and - as the design authority for the programme - you make the calls that hold the whole finance design together. Finance process knowledge. Real depth across the finance process spine - Record-to-Report first, and the wider finance processes an SAP programme touches - with the judgement to connect the SAP solution to what the CFO cares about: performance, control, and reporting the business can trust. You're grounded in period-end close, consolidation readiness, management versus statutory reporting, cost management and profitability analysis, with an eye for finance controls by design. Leading the design and the run. You act as the finance design authority across the programme, balancing SAP fit-to-standard against the business differentiation a client genuinely needs and helping them make informed trade-offs. You run large, multi-workstream SAP finance programmes in front of the client - from early discovery and visioning through design, build, testing and deployment, and into the run: stabilising the finance function through hypercare and shaping how it optimises and improves once it's live. You hold your ground in complex landscapes - SAP-to-SAP, SAP-to-non-SAP and heritage integrations - working alongside enterprise architects and integration teams while retaining ownership of the finance agenda. You lead senior client forums, design authorities and steering committees, and you coach and develop the team around you. Growing the work. You spot where SAP finance transformation can do more for the client and help turn that into work, making the case for transformation in CFO language and connecting SAP capability to enterprise value. You shape propositions, support bids, and bring a clear point of view on where the SAP finance market is heading and how we should differentiate. ## Related Videos - [Intelligent Automation using Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/157-intelligent-automation-using-machine-learning) - [Independently together: how micro-applications improve developer experience + app performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/452-independently-together-how-micro-applications-improve-developer-experience-app-performance) - [When AI Runs the Business: The Reality of Enterprise-Wide Automation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100124-when-ai-runs-the-business-the-reality-of-enterprise-wide-automation) - [Replacing Excel with SAP APIs & Python validation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1944-replacing-excel-with-sap-apis-python-validation) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Snappy UI needs no Single-Page Application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/904-snappy-ui-needs-no-single-page-application) ## Related Articles - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [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) - [Best Companies to work for in London: Top 25 Companies in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/187-best-companies-to-work-for-in-london-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager)
