SAP S/4HANA Business Analyst

Role Overview - Key Context

• UK‑based role, with regular collaboration across teams in Manchester and Amsterdam
• Part of two major programmes:
  • A wider modernisation programme
  • A SAP RISE migration
• 18‑month programme, with go‑live expected in ~12 months
• Brand‑new squad being formed (approx. 7 people) focused on building a financial data pipeline

What the Team Is Doing

• Building and testing data pipelines and contracts for financial data
• Defining how data flows from SAP ECC into SAP RISE (interim approach)
• This is the last business area still on SAP ECC
• Not a full ECC decommission yet - this phase is about:
  • Testing data flows
  • Defining contracts
  • Ensuring accuracy and data quality before full migration
• Data quality, controls, and ownership are a big focus
• First time the organisation has gone into this level of detail on these flows

Why They Need This Role

• The team has been missing Business Analysts to provide:
  • Clear artefacts
  • Data contracts
  • End‑to‑end requirements
• They need someone to work closely with the SAP RISE squad to:
  • Understand financial SAP data
  • Define current vs future‑state processes
  • Manage requirements back and forth across teams
• This role is critical to getting the work ready for development

Ideal Profile

• Must have SAP migration experience (non‑negotiable)
• Strong experience with data‑driven projects
• Pipeline and data‑flow experience is essential
• Clear understanding of what is critical in financial data flows
• Able to understand the wider programme, not just isolated tasks
• Very strong ability to work independently
• Comfortable owning a problem end‑to‑end, then presenting findings back
• Experience working with incomplete information in a brand‑new squad

Ways of Working

• Works closely with a Senior Product Manager
• Expected to:
  • Understand the problem independently
  • Go away and analyse
  • Come back with structured outputs and recommendations
• Needs to collaborate with teams across Manchester and Amsterdam
• Travel to Manchester expected (also possibly Amsterdam for workshops)
