Role Description

At DXC Technology, our SAP practice works with customers across the UK and Europe to deliver SAP solutions that support their most important business processes. We’re looking for an experienced SAP FICO Functional Consultant to join our team and play a key role in helping customers get the most from their SAP Finance solutions.

This is a varied role where you’ll work closely with customers, business users and colleagues across the wider SAP practice. You’ll be involved in understanding business needs, shaping solutions, configuring SAP and supporting customers throughout the project lifecycle.

You’ll need to be comfortable working directly with clients and taking ownership of your area of SAP Finance. We’re particularly interested in people who have experience across the full project lifecycle, from proposal response, solutioning and planning through to mobilisation, implementation and delivery. Experience of SAP S/4HANA, including S/4HANA migration programmes, would be particularly valuable.

Due to the nature of the client environment, eligibility for security clearance is required for this role. To meet the current security requirements, candidates must be sole UK nationals and have lived and worked continuously in the UK for the past five years. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider dual nationals for this position.

Your role will include:

• Gathering and analysing business requirements and understanding how SAP ECC and S/4HANA can support the customer's Finance processes.
• Working directly with clients to understand their requirements, challenge where appropriate, and validate proposed solutions.
• Contributing to the wider SAP solution design, working collaboratively with colleagues across the DXC SAP practice and customer teams to keep projects moving forward.
• Configuring SAP FICO in line with agreed business requirements and translating those requirements into clear functional design specifications.
• Understanding the impact of SAP changes on business processes, reporting and user interfaces, and recommending improvements where appropriate.
• Supporting customers with business process changes and improvement initiatives.
• Providing ongoing SAP functional support and working with technical teams and customers to investigate and resolve functional issues.
• Contributing to project activities across the full lifecycle, including proposal responses, solutioning, planning, mobilisation and implementation.
• Creating and maintaining clear project and functional documentation, including Requirements Traceability Matrices, Business Process Blueprints, Configuration Documentation, Functional Specifications, Test Scripts and Training Guides.
• Sharing your SAP Finance knowledge with colleagues and being open to developing your skills in new areas where customer demand requires it.
• Helping to strengthen the wider DXC SAP practice by bringing your experience, ideas and knowledge to new customer opportunities and solutions.
