[Hiring] Senior SAP S/4HANA Functional Lead – Acquire-to-Retire / Enterprise Asset Management @Bowhead

Role Description

Bowhead is seeking a Senior SAP S/4HANA Functional Lead – Acquire-to-Retire (A2R) / Enterprise Asset Management to provide consultative support to the Navy ERP Program Office in Washington, D.C. The selected candidate will serve as the Government's senior functional advisor for the Acquire-to-Retire workstream supporting ERP+ modernization and implementation of SAP S/4HANA. This position can be remote.

This is a senior advisory role—not a configuration or transactional support position. The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of:

• Functional architecture
• Asset and property management
• Financial integration
• Enterprise integration
• Governance
• Business transformation

As ERP+ transitions from requirements definition and Fit-to-Standard into System Integrator (SI)-led configuration and implementation, this position will increasingly perform Government-side solution oversight and Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V). The selected candidate will review proposed configurations, functional designs, process flows, supporting evidence, integrations, and implementation deliverables to ensure alignment with Government-approved requirements, SAP leading practices, enterprise architecture, auditability, and long-term sustainment.

The A2R functional role requires deep, proven integration expertise in:

• Procure-to-Pay (P2P)
• Project Systems (PS)
• Controlling (CO)

Qualifications

• Ten (10+) or more years supporting SAP asset management, financial asset management, enterprise asset management, plant maintenance, Government property, or related asset lifecycle business processes.
• Five (5+) or more years supporting SAP S/4HANA implementations or modernization initiatives.
• Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Engineering, Finance, Accounting, Logistics, Business, or related discipline (Master's preferred).
• Demonstrated expertise in SAP Acquire-to-Retire capabilities, including Asset Accounting (FI-AA), Enterprise Asset Management/Plant Maintenance (EAM/PM), asset master data, asset classes, equipment/functional locations, maintenance/work management, asset acquisition, capitalization, transfer, retirement, and disposal.
• Demonstrated understanding of the integration between physical asset management and financial asset accounting.
• Proven experience integrating A2R with Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Project Systems (PS), and Controlling (CO), as well as Finance, Funds Management, Plan-to-Stock, master data, reporting, and analytics.
• Experience evaluating SAP functional designs, configuration decisions, or implementation deliverables and identifying functional or integration impacts.
• Experience conducting Fit-to-Standard/Fit-Gap analysis and translating business requirements into SAP solution concepts.
• Demonstrated ability to develop high-quality written analysis, recommendations, decision support products, and executive-level briefings.
• Experience facilitating complex functional discussions and communicating SAP solution issues to senior business and Government stakeholders.

Requirements

• Experience supporting Navy ERP, ERP+, or other DoD ERP modernization efforts.
• Experience supporting Government oversight, IV&V, or independent assessment of SAP implementations performed by a System Integrator.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Asset Management, Asset Accounting, and/or PMMO/EPPM.
• Experience with Government Property, APSR, DPAS, or other DoD property-accountability environments.
• Experience with SAP RE-FX or Federal lease-management processes.
• Knowledge of Federal and DoD financial-management, property-accountability, audit, and asset-management requirements.
• Experience with Real Property, General Equipment, Internal Use Software, Government-Furnished Property, or similar Federal asset categories.
• Experience with SAP Defense & Security (D&S) or DFPS.
• Experience evaluating standard SAP functionality against legacy customizations and supporting Clean Core modernization.
• Experience with SAP data migration, master data, reporting, analytics, and interface integration as they relate to the asset lifecycle.
• Experience with capital project cost planning, AuC settlement, and cost allocation across PS, CO, Funds Management, and Asset Accounting in a Federal or DoD environment.

Benefits

• Targeted salary range is $250,000 annually based on qualifications and experience.
• Must be able to lift up to 25 pounds or more.
• Must be able to stand and walk for prolonged amounts of time.
• Must be able to twist, bend and squat periodically.

Additional Requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to independently advise senior Government leadership.
• Strong analytical, facilitation, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.
• Ability to independently assess SI recommendations and respectfully challenge proposed designs when supporting evidence, requirements traceability, or end-to-end impacts are insufficient.
• Ability to translate complex SAP configuration and integration issues into clear business impacts and actionable recommendations.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across functional, technical, financial, data, cybersecurity, and program-management organizations.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Teams, SharePoint, Jira, and Confluence.
• Ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance.
• Ability to trace an asset from procurement and project cost through controlling and asset accounting records to confirm financial and physical accountability.
