Description

  • Own and execute the SAP S/4HANA improvement roadmap, including configuration, module ownership across FI, CO, TR, and MM, release planning, and technical debt reduction.

  • Communicate technical constraints clearly to stakeholders across Finance Operations, Engineering, Treasury, HR, and Legal.
  • Translate technical complexity into plain financial language for non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Able to operate independently of a vendor team for standard SAP tasks.
  • Fluent in SQL and data modelling.
  • Comfortable writing and reviewing Python scripts for data transformation and pipeline validation.

  • Experience integrating banking platforms via API.
  • Familiarity with treasury data flows and formats such as MT940.
  • Experience delivering finance technology programmes in regulated or government-contract environments such as defence, aerospace, or deep-tech.
  • Business-level fluency in German and English.

  • Background contributing to IPO readiness workstreams or external audit processes in a finance technology capacity (nice to have).

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with VSOP options.
  • Relocation support of up to €2,500 plus 4 weeks of temporary accommodation.
  • €500/£450 annual learning and development allowance.
