SAP S4HANA Finance Lead

The Opportunity

We're growing our S/4HANA practice and looking for a Finance Lead to anchor it on the finance side. You'll lead the design and delivery of S/4HANA Finance for clients across a range of industries, running discovery and fit-to-standard sessions, shaping the solution, and guiding the team through build, test and cutover.

This is a hands-on lead role. You'll be the person clients trust on finance design, and the person our consultants turn to when a tricky requirement lands. Most of our work sits in RISE with SAP environments across ASEAN, so you'll deal with multi-entity, multi-currency and multi-country finance operations regularly.
