## About the Role

We are looking for an experienced SAP S/4HANA Controlling (CO) Design Lead with deep expertise in process manufacturing, product costing, Material Ledger, and management accounting design.
The ideal candidate must have hands-on experience designing SAP CO solutions around existing SAP ECC configurations, evaluating design trade-offs, and producing detailed, configuration-level functional specifications for implementation by a separate SAP build team.
This is a solution design and architecture-oriented role, not just an SAP implementation or configuration position. The candidate must be able to explain design decisions, their financial and operational implications, and provide references who can validate their previous design leadership experience.

## Description

Design ownership: Personally led SAP CO solution design, rather than only executing configuration or implementation tasks.
ECC design experience: Worked with existing ECC configurations and can explain what was retained, changed, or redesigned for S/4HANA, including the reasons.
Manufacturing expertise: Designed costing solutions for process manufacturing involving process orders and batch costing.
Technical depth: Can explain Material Ledger, actual costing, production variances, and idle capacity treatment in practical business scenarios.
Specification ownership: Authored detailed functional specifications that another implementation team used to configure and build the solution.
Verifiable experience: Can provide a professional reference who can validate their design responsibilities and deliverables.
