Role: Senior SAP Security Analyst
Type: 6-month contract (with potential for extension based on project needs)
Interview Process: 1 hour TEAMS screening call with HM & lead
Top Skills:
- S/4HANA & Fiori Security Expertise 7+ years
- SOD/SOX Risk Remediation & Audit Alignment
- Role Redesign & Security Architecture
Reason for Opening: Client is experiencing significant S/4HANA security risk and technical debt resulting from earlier consulting partner design issues. PwC identified a high level of SOD and access risk, particularly in S/4. The current senior team (2) is overloaded with SOD remediation and role redesign work, while ticket volume remains high. Additional senior SAP Security Analysts are needed to lead SOD cleanup, redesign S/4 and Fiori roles, address risk findings, and stabilize the SAP security landscape as the organization continues its global S/4 rollout.
Project/Day to Day: The Senior SAP Security Analyst will focus on S/4HANA and Fiori role redesign, SOD analysis, and remediation work. Responsibilities include separating conflicting functions, building SOD compliant role structures, consolidating access into major process roles (Purchasing, Processing, Sales & Distribution), and correcting issues introduced by earlier consulting firms design decisions. The senior analyst will work closely with audit (PwC findings), internal security leadership, and functional teams to reduce risk, support new go-lives (Canada and upcoming regions), and guide the overall SAP security architecture while consulting firm continues production support.
