Senior SAP Functional Business Analyst

World-changing careers, enabled by Johnson Matthey. With more than 200 years history, join us and help to accelerate the transition to net-zero! As a Senior SAP Functional Business Analyst, you'll contribute to JM's mission as a world leader in sustainable technology, transforming energy and reducing carbon emissions for a cleaner, brighter future.

The role:

As a Senior SAP Functional Business Analyst, you will help drive our goals by:

• Acting as a bridge between the data team (e.g., SAP BW, data engineering, and BI reporting colleagues), the business, and the SAP technical team by helping to build the data foundation and develop reporting solutions based on SAP processes and data flows.
• Engaging directly with business stakeholders to understand and clarify reporting and analytics requirements, primarily in the finance (Record-to-Report) domain, and translating them into technical specifications aligned with SAP Business Warehouse (BW/4HANA) and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) architecture and development standards.
• Analysing SAP ERP (ECC) transactions to identify relevant extractors, tables, and logic for reporting, while acting as a subject matter expert in Financial and other SAP processes, transaction flows, and data structures.
• Collaborating with data team to design, develop, and validate robust data pipelines and models, ensuring data integrity, consistency, and completeness through validation against ECC source data.
• Supporting integration efforts across workstreams by identifying opportunities for standardization, recognising wider integration impacts of process solutions, and collaborating with other functional areas to manage them effectively.
• Providing functional insight and support in transitioning to or integrating with SAP S/4HANA, and maintaining documentation related to functional mappings, extractors, transformation logic, and validation procedures.
• Championing the integration of BW/4HANA best practices throughout the project lifecycle and continuously improving reporting processes and systems by identifying and implementing efficiencies and better ways of working.

Key skills that will help you succeed in this role:

• Proven experience working with SAP ERP systems in a functional or techno-functional capacity, preferably within the financial domain (Record-to-Report).
• In-depth understanding of SAP ERP processes and transactions, preferably within Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) modules.
• Strong ability to map SAP source data (ideally, ECC), such as transactions, extractors, and tables, to SAP Business Warehouse (BW/4HANA) reporting requirements.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with a track record of gathering, refining, and translating business requirements into technical solutions.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills in English.
• A data-driven mindset with a structured, analytical approach to problem-solving.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team alongside data engineers, BI developers, and technical staff.
• Experience working closely with BW/4HANA and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) environments is desirable.
