We are seeking an experienced Lead Business Systems Analyst to join our team. The ideal candidate is a high-level individual contributor responsible for operationalizing the roadmap defined by leadership, acting as the primary functional authority to translate high-level vision into scalable technical execution. While this role does not have direct reports, you will act as the primary functional authority, providing technical and process direction to a team of SAP analysts and external partners. The role will bridge communication between IT and business units to ensure the entire application landscape—including SAP, integrated third-party applications, and homegrown solutions—is aligned with business goals, supported effectively, and continuously optimized for performance.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Prioritize the SAP roadmap based on business impact; prepare and maintain project plans, budgets, and resource allocations to ensure focus on high-value initiatives.

• Convert complex business aspirations into high-quality functional specifications, ensuring the "Why" (business value) is defined before the "How" (technical configuration).

• Directly author and maintain comprehensive documentation for SAP configurations, business processes, and technical troubleshooting guides, while establishing standards for the team’s documentation output.

• Drive end-to-end change management protocols, safeguarding business continuity through rigorous UAT and formal stakeholder sign-off.

• Create test plans and test scripts.

• Lead initiatives to improve data quality.

• Work with external implementation partners and offshore resources to ensure architectural standards.

• Provide mentorship to a team of SAP specialists, fostering collaboration, and providing guidance on best practices and continuous improvement.

Required Education & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field; equivalent professional experience will also be considered.

• Minimum of 8-years of experience in SAP Functional Consulting delivering high-impact solutions through close partnership with business stakeholders.

• Strong ERP knowledge and cross-functional understanding with hands-on experience in related SAP applications/modules like Sales & Distribution, Inventory, Costing, Manufacturing, Planning, and Project Systems with an understanding of Financials as an advantage.

• Clear understanding of end-to-end integration architecture between S/4HANA and the broader ecosystem, including SAP products (e.g. C4C, AVC, CPQ) and critical third-party solutions (e.g., Avalara, Medius).

• Extensive experience with complex system enhancements, and high-priority production support.

• Analytical mindset with expertise at troubleshooting historical accumulation issues and implementing long-term structural fixes.

• Strong familiarity with SAP cloud offerings and BTP is highly desirable to support the organization’s future-state.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
