SAP FICO Consultant
About the role
What You'll Do:
• Partner with finance stakeholders to understand their processes and translate business needs into workable SAP solutions.
• Challenge requirements constructively and propose stronger alternatives where appropriate.
• Configure and enhance SAP FICO functionality in S/4HANA, working hands-on where appropriate and leveraging AI and consultant support where it adds efficiency.
• Support the global rollout across our remaining countries, including local finance and regulatory requirements.
• Bridge finance processes across modules to ensure end-to-end alignment beyond FICO
• Direct external consultants toward the highest-value work and progressively reduce our dependency on them.
• Lead stakeholder workshops and maintain alignment between business, developers, and end users through implementation, testing, and go-live.
What We Are Looking For:
Essential:
• 5+ years of hands-on SAP FICO experience, or less with demonstrable delivery on comparable projects.
• Demonstrable experience configuring SAP FICO on live projects, with sufficient depth to advise finance stakeholders credibly.
• Strong understanding of finance and controlling processes (GL, AP, AR, cost controlling, reporting)
• The ability to challenge requirements rather than simply accept them, and to explain your reasoning clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Hands-on S/4HANA experience - Private Cloud, Public Cloud, or on-premise are all equally relevant.
• An adaptable, fast-moving mindset suited to an environment that changes quickly.
• Professional English.
Advantageous:
• S/4HANA Public Cloud project experience or certification.
• Multi-country rollout experience with a multinational organisation.
• A finance or accounting background subsequently applied within IT.
What You'll Love About Us:
• AI as a core part of how we work. We apply AI across our SAP delivery to reduce manual configuration effort, allowing your time to be spent on solving problems rather than executing them.
• Genuine influence. This role exists to bring judgement in-house. You will be the person Finance consults, not a request queue.
• Challenge alongside support. The pace is demanding, and our teams also rank among the highest in the company for engagement. You will be challenged but also properly supported.
• Flexibility on location. Madrid is preferred, as most of our finance team is based there. But we are considering candidates across Spain.
