  • Deliver practical, technically sound recommendations for managing and migrating data to S/4HANA.

Key Deliverables:

  • Identification of redundant or problematic data structures.

  • Strategic input into the data migration roadmap.

Essential Skills & Experience:

  • Strong hands-on experience with SAP ECC data structures and technical architecture.
  • Proven track record in data cleansing, archiving, and lifecycle management within SAP environments.
  • Ability to analyse custom back-end code and determine usage/redundancy.
  • Experience working with personal and sensitive data (e.g. HR/Finance).
  • Strong technical problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working independently and remotely, with minimal supervision.

Desirable:

  • Experience with SAP S/4HANA data migration projects.
  • Familiarity with Higher Education data environments (not essential).
  • Knowledge of SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) tools.
