We are seeking a highly analytical and experienced SAP Group Reporting Architect to lead the end-to-end design, implementation, and optimization of our financial consolidation and corporate reporting solutions. In this role, you will bridge the gap between operational finance (FI/CO) and group-level consolidations.

The ideal candidate must have a deep functional understanding of core SAP FI/CO (specifically S/4HANA Universal Journal/ACDOCA architecture) and hands-on expertise in configuring and architecting S/4HANA Group Reporting to deliver automated, compliant, and real-time statutory and management consolidations.

Key Responsibilities

Group Reporting Architecture & Configuration

- Consolidation Design: Architect and configure SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting, including consolidation units, groups, consolidation charts of accounts (yCOA), and FS items.

- Data Release & Collection: Configure the data release from the Universal Journal (ACDOCA to ACDOCU) and set up SAP Group Reporting Data Collection (GRDC) for non-S/4HANA entities.

- Consolidation Processing: Design and maintain rules for Currency Translation, Intercompany Matching and Eliminations (ICMR), and Consolidation of Investments (COI).

- Validation & Reporting: Define validation rules and methods to guarantee data integrity. Build analytical queries, Fiori reporting layouts, and Fiori-based consolidation monitor tasks.

Core FI/CO Integration

- S/4HANA Finance Alignment: Ensure seamless alignment between operational accounting (General Ledger, Cost Center Accounting, Profit Center Accounting) and Group Reporting mapping structures.

- Universal Journal Synergy:



Optimize the design of the S/4HANA Universal Journal to ensure transactional data flows into the consolidation engine without complex reconciliation steps.

- Close Process Orchestration: Partner with corporate controllership and accounting teams to streamline and accelerate month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes.

Advisory & Governance

- Technical Leadership: Lead blueprinting sessions, fit-to-standard workshops, and feasibility studies for Group Reporting initiatives.

- Clean Core & Fit-to-Standard: Drive standard SAP best practices, avoiding unnecessary customizations while leveraging standard CDS views and APIs.

Required Skills & Qualifications

- Experience: Minimum of 5 years of skilled SAP experience, with at least 2 years of active project architecture/configuration specifically in SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting.

- Financial Foundations: Strong foundation in corporate finance principles, legal consolidations, multi-currency translations, and international accounting standards (e.g., IFRS / US GAAP).

- Core FI/CO Knowledge: Solid configuration and functional knowledge of SAP FI (GL, AP, AR, Asset Accounting) and CO (Cost Center, Profit Center, and CO-PA/Profitability Analysis).

- System Integration: Proven experience handling data integration between SAP ERP (S/4HANA or ECC) and EPM/BI systems (such as SAP Analytics Cloud, BPC, or BW).

- Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate highly technical SAP consolidation mechanics to corporate finance stakeholders and CFO-level leadership.

Preferred/Nice-to-Have Skills

- Experience with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) for planning or reporting integration.

- Experience migrating legacy consolidation systems (e.g., SAP BPC, BCS, or Hyperion) to SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting.
