Sr. SAP HCM Migration Consultant (Hands-On L3 Configuration)

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

• 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
