Our client is undergoing a greenfield transformation from legacy systems to SAP S/4HANA. We are seeking an experienced SAP S/4HANA Solution Architect to parachute into a complex, fast-moving program and help close out critical design decisions particularly for the Asia-Pacific rollout.
This is a hands-on architecture role suited to someone who thrives in ambiguity, can hit the ground running, and is confident engaging directly with senior finance stakeholders, including CFO-level leaders.

- Transition from service accounting to classic manufacturing accounting
- Revenue Recognition
- Advanced Intercompany Sales
- Standard Warranty
- Project Systems (PS)
- Optimised Contract Management
- Configuration is being delivered offshore – this role translates design, impacts, and outcomes clearly to senior finance leadership

- Proven experience as an SAP S/4HANA Solution Architect on large, complex programs
- Strong background in CO (Material Ledger), Service Accounting, Revenue Recognition, and PS
