About your role:

SAP FICO Architect defines solution architecture and cross-functional design for SAP finance capabilities across the enterprise. This role combines deep SAP S/4HANA Finance expertise with emerging AI capabilities to identify, design, and implement AI agents that improve financial operations, automate repetitive activities, enhance decision-making, and improve the user experience. The ideal candidate brings strong hands-on SAP FICO experience along with experience in designing or implementing Agentic AI/Generative AI solutions within SAP-centric business processes.

What you'll do:

• Define end-to-end SAP finance architecture across Financial Accounting and Controlling (FICO), including integration with Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Procure to Pay (PTP), Order to Cash (OTC), Business Warehouse (BW), Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC), and related enterprise platforms.
• Design and implement Agentic AI solutions for SAP Finance processes, enabling AI agents to interpret business context, reason across information, initiate workflows, and support human decision-making.
• Identify high-value Agentic AI opportunities across Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Collections, Dispute Management, Treasury, and Financial Reporting.
• Partner with business stakeholders, directors, vice presidents, and technical leads to define solution approaches, prioritize initiatives, and execute technical projects from planning through deployment.
• Lead cross-module ERP design decisions and serve as the technical owner for SAP finance integration patterns, solution standards, and application design across the landscape.
• Analyze current-state business processes and recommend future-state designs that improve efficiency, controls, reporting, and cross-functional integration.
• Develop functional specifications for custom development, review technical solutions, and provide functional guidance to development teams during build, test, and deployment activities.
• Diagnose system defects, evaluate root causes, and resolve production support issues through configuration changes, SAP Note analysis, defect remediation, and recommended enhancements.
• Support pack implementation and system upgrades by assessing impacts, validating functionality, and preparing finance capabilities for future SAP releases.
• Plan and coordinate system integration testing and support user acceptance testing to validate requirements, document outcomes, and recommend production readiness.
• Track risks, issues, service level agreement commitments, and delivery progress; communicate status to project teams and stakeholders to support timely completion of assigned work.
• Mentor SAP technical and business team members by sharing design guidance, reviewing deliverables, and supporting capability development across the program.
• Collaborate with business systems leaders to identify, research, and recommend technology roadmap improvements for financial systems.
• Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

Experience you'll need to have:

• 10+ years of experience in SAP Finance and Accounting solution design, configuration, and support across enterprise SAP environments.
• 10+ years of experience configuring SAP FICO capabilities, including General Ledger, Controlling, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Asset Accounting, Tax, Treasury, and Profitability Analysis.
• 8+ years of experience leading cross-functional SAP integration design with modules such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Procure to Pay (PTP), Order to Cash (OTC), Business Warehouse (BW), or Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC).
• 8+ years of experience supporting SAP S/4HANA implementations, upgrades, or large-scale transformation programs across finance functions.
• 10+ years of experience developing functional specifications, supporting testing, and resolving production issues through configuration, SAP Notes, and collaboration with development teams.
• 3+ full life cycle implementations of SAP in finance-focused roles with responsibility for design, configuration, testing, and deployment.
• Hands-on experience with Generative AI, Agentic AI, AI agents, or intelligent workflow automation.
• Experience identifying business processes suitable for AI automation and translating them into AI use cases.
• Understanding of LLM-based applications, prompt engineering, AI orchestration, enterprise knowledge grounding, APIs, and agent-based architectures.
• Understanding of security, financial controls, authorization, auditability, data privacy, and responsible AI requirements.
• Experience communicating complex technical and functional requirements to business stakeholders, implementation teams, and cross-functional partners.
• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, information technology, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.

Experience that would be great to have:

• 4+ years of experience in an SAP architect role supporting enterprise finance transformation.
• Experience implementing Agentic AI specifically within SAP FICO or Finance processes.
• Experience with AI use cases within Collections and Dispute Management, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, financial close, Treasury, or reporting.
• Experience with SAP BTP, SAP Fiori, APIs, integration services, or SAP extensibility patterns.
• Experience with SAP Joule/Joule-related capabilities and other enterprise Generative AI platforms.
• Experience with Microsoft Copilot/GitHub Copilot or similar AI development/productivity platforms.
• Experience with SAP Business Data Cloud, Datasphere, SAC, or enterprise knowledge/data platforms.
