About the Role

We are partnering with a global e-commerce enterprise as they undertake a large-scale enterprise transformation, migrating their existing SAP ECC landscape to SAP S/4HANA RISE.

We are looking for a Finance-focused Business Analyst who combines deep business process analysis skills with a strong understanding of financial accounting and dataflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Process & Dataflow Mapping: Document and analyse "As-Is" financial processes and system architecture within SAP ECC; design optimised "To-Be" processes aligned with S/4HANA capabilities.
• Finance Data Quality & Analysis: Focus heavily on end-to-end financial dataflows, validating data quality, completeness, and reporting needs across the migration lifecycle.
• Requirements & Gap Analysis: Elicit, manage, and translate functional business requirements into clear functional specifications; conduct gap analyses against S/4HANA standard functionality.
• Stakeholder Facilitation: Facilitate design workshops with global business leads, finance teams, system integrators, and technical architects.

• Financial Domain Expertise: Strong understanding of financial accounting concepts and end-to-end financial dataflows.
• Business Analysis Mastery: Proven experience in As-Is/To-Be process mapping, requirements elicitation, and functional specifications.
• SAP Exposure: Solid familiarity with SAP environments (SAP ECC and/or S/4HANA).
• Data-Driven Mindset: Ability to analyse financial data, identify risks/gaps, and present structured findings clearly to leadership.
• Delivery Environment: Experience working across Agile/Hybrid frameworks using tools like Jira, Confluence, and Miro.
