SAP Finance Business Systems Manager

Location: Greater Manchester (Hybrid, 3 days per week on-site)
Salary: £65,000 + benefits

Are you an SAP Finance specialist with strong hands-on experience in S/4HANA and FICO configuration?
Do you enjoy working closely with Finance stakeholders while still being technically involved in systems improvement and support?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a major FMCG organisation and take ownership of their SAP Finance landscape. You will work with S/4HANA, Fiori and several integrated Finance technologies while acting as the bridge between Finance, IT and external delivery partners.

The role has a strong technical element, so applicants must have practical, hands-on SAP Finance experience, not just functional oversight.

About the Role

You will be the go-to SME for SAP Finance across the business. Key responsibilities include:

  • Providing hands-on SAP Finance application support across S/4HANA, FICO and related Finance systems.
  • Leading the investigation and resolution of incidents, ensuring root-cause analysis and long-term fixes.
  • Carrying out configuration changes, testing, and small enhancements within SAP Finance.
  • Working closely with internal developers and external consultancy partners to design and deliver technical solutions.
  • Supporting Finance stakeholders, understanding requirements and translating them into system changes.
  • Driving continuous improvement activity by identifying recurring issues and improving processes, controls, and system performance.
  • Providing training, support and guidance to end users and super users to increase adoption and capability.
  • Staying current with SAP Finance and S/4HANA developments and sharing knowledge with the wider team.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong hands-on SAP Finance experience, ideally within an FMCG or similar fast-paced environment.
  • Practical experience with SAP S/4HANA, including configuration within FICO.
  • Understanding of Finance business processes such as P2P, O2C, R2R and broader Financial Control.
  • Familiarity with Fiori apps and modern SAP UX.
  • Knowledge of ITIL Service Management principles.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work closely with Finance leaders and operational teams.
  • Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
