SAP FICO Analyst

Your Role    As Staff SAP FICO Analyst, you are the senior technical authority on our core financial system. You own how solutions are designed and built in S/4HANA: you make the system design decisions, technically validate changes before they reach production, and quality-gate the work of our implementation partners. You work alongside a Product Manager who owns what we build and a FICO Consultant who owns day-to-day operations. Your job is depth, architecture, and raising the technical bar of the whole team.

Your Mission

• Act as the technical escalation point for our financial core. The hardest FICO problems end with you.

• Own solution design and system architecture for the finance platform: design solutions in S/4HANA, decide build-vs-configure-vs-standard, and technically validate every change before production.

• Lead FICO workstreams in our SAP transformation from redesigning Record-to-Report and Controlling to quality-gating deliverables from our external implementation partner.

• Continuously monitor and improve existing financial workflows, ensuring they align with SAP Global Standards and "Clean Core" principles.

• Mentor and grow our FICO consultants: review their work, develop their skills, and build the runbooks and best practices that make the team resilient.

• Support the design of modern integrations using SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) to connect S/4HANA with internal and external systems.

• Challenge the status quo. Proactively look for configuration, tools or automation solutions that save time and enhance customer experience in SAP.

Your Profile

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in SAP FICO (GL, AP/AR, AA, CO) in SAP S4H Private Cloud. Solid knowledge of SAP REFX.

• Understanding of integration points with other modules (eg. MM, SD, Subscription Billing). SAP Treasury and BCM are a plus.

• Proven experience designing RICEFW items, including interface design in SAP Integration Suites (CPI, BTP).

• Solid Accounting background (IFRS and HGB).

• Proven experience steering or quality-gating external consultants / system integrators. You can tell a good deliverable from a plausible one.

• You are obsessed with SAP Standards and shy away from custom solutions in order to keep the system maintainable. You actively advocate for returning to standard.

• You have experience in full-cycle implementations or major roll-outs and feel comfortable moving between deep technical tasks and high-level project management.
