You’ll ensure that challenging queries raised by the business or our partner organisations are analysed and resolved by the team within agreed SLAs.

Collaborating with other SAP teams and with support colleagues in our Integrated Business Centre will be essential, as will the ability to articulate complex technical themes to non-technical audiences.

What you’ll do:

This role will suit an individual who spends the majority of their time using SAP HR, Payroll, Finance, or SuccessFactors in a business environment, with a proven track record of delivering excellent customer service and line management experience. Being part of a larger SAP team will provide valuable learning opportunities.

• You will be part of an ambitious digital strategy

What we’re looking for:

We are seeking a motivated and experienced professional with strong communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills. You will be able to lead and inspire a team while managing workloads effectively and maintaining a strong customer focus throughout.

The role requires excellent organisational skills, the ability to prioritise under pressure, and confidence in working independently and making decisions. You will engage effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, and communicate complex information clearly. A high level of technical competence is essential, including proven experience with SAP ERP systems.
