[Hiring] SAP FICO Consultant @Aleph

Role Description

Our SAP finance capability is currently delivered primarily through external consultants. We are bringing this expertise in-house through a role that partners directly with our finance teams, develops a deep understanding of their processes, and helps determine which requirements merit investment.

The position places greater emphasis on judgement than on manual configuration. We apply AI extensively across our SAP delivery, and an increasing proportion of configuration work is automated. The core requirement is the ability to engage directly with Finance, interpret requirements accurately, and advise whether a change can be delivered efficiently or whether the effort involved would outweigh the business value.

You will work alongside our SAP SD counterpart on the same S/4HANA rollout across our remaining markets, covering approximately 70 offices and their local finance requirements.

What You'll Do:

• Partner with finance stakeholders to understand their processes and translate business needs into workable SAP solutions.
• Challenge requirements constructively and propose stronger alternatives where appropriate.
• Configure and enhance SAP FICO functionality in S/4HANA, working hands-on where appropriate and leveraging AI and consultant support where it adds efficiency.
• Support the global rollout across our remaining countries, including local finance and regulatory requirements.
• Bridge finance processes across modules to ensure end-to-end alignment beyond FICO.
• Direct external consultants toward the highest-value work and progressively reduce our dependency on them.
• Lead stakeholder workshops and maintain alignment between business, developers, and end users through implementation, testing, and go-live.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on SAP FICO experience, or less with demonstrable delivery on comparable projects.
• Demonstrable experience configuring SAP FICO on live projects, with sufficient depth to advise finance stakeholders credibly.
• Strong understanding of finance and controlling processes (GL, AP, AR, cost controlling, reporting).
• The ability to challenge requirements rather than simply accept them, and to explain your reasoning clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Hands-on S/4HANA experience — Private Cloud, Public Cloud, or on-premise are all equally relevant.
• An adaptable, fast-moving mindset suited to an environment that changes quickly.
• Professional English.

Requirements

• S/4HANA Public Cloud project experience or certification.
• Multi-country rollout experience with a multinational organisation.
• A finance or accounting background subsequently applied within IT.

Benefits

• AI as a core part of how we work.
• Genuine influence.
• Challenge alongside support.
• Flexibility on location.
• Minimum gross annual base salary of EUR 60,000 EUR, with a variable component paid annually.
