Location: UAE – on-site preferred
Start: ASAP
We are looking for an experienced SAP Functional Consultant with strong combined expertise across SAP SuccessFactors, SAP HCM/HR and SAP Ariba.
The consultant will support a portfolio of managed-service clients alongside SAP ERP/S/4HANA projects, including brownfield implementations, ongoing production support, new requirements, enhancements and expansion work.
This is a hands-on, client-facing position. We need someone who can take full ownership of requirements and issues from initial discussion through to resolution, rather than simply coordinating between teams.
Key responsibilities
- Act as the functional SME across SAP SuccessFactors, HCM/HR and Ariba.
- Work directly with clients to gather, understand and challenge business requirements.
- Translate requirements into appropriate SAP functional solutions.
- Configure and enhance SAP solutions across the relevant modules.
- Manage production issues, bugs, change requests and new requirements through to resolution.
- Support SAP ERP/S/4HANA projects and existing managed-service environments.
- Produce detailed functional documentation and specifications.
- Work closely with the in-house development team where technical development is required.
- Lead client discussions and provide clear updates on actions, issues and delivery.
- Understand the wider business impact of solutions across HR, procurement and the broader SAP landscape.
- Take accountability for assigned workstreams and proactively drive issues through to completion.
Required experience
- Ideally 8+ years of SAP functional consulting experience.
- Strong hands-on SAP SuccessFactors experience.
- Strong SAP HCM / HR functional knowledge.
- Strong hands-on SAP Ariba experience.
- Good understanding of end-to-end HR and procurement business processes.
- Experience working with SAP ERP and/or S/4HANA environments.
- Experience across implementation, enhancement and production/application support.
- Strong requirements gathering and functional configuration experience.
- Comfortable working directly and independently with clients.
What we're looking for
The key requirement is someone who genuinely has functional capability across both sides: SuccessFactors/HCM and Ariba.
Alongside technical functional knowledge, we're looking for someone proactive and accountable who can understand the business reason behind a requirement, communicate confidently with clients and take ownership until the work is completed.
UAE-based candidates who can work on-site and join quickly are strongly preferred.
