Full Job Description
Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end subscription-to-revenue solution architecture: run Fit-to-Standard / explore-phase workshops, drive Key Design Decisions, and produce solution and RICEFW documentation aligned to SAP Activate methodology.
  • Configure RAR on S/4HANA - revenue accounting contracts, performance obligations (POBs), BRFplus decision tables, account determination, and posting logic for point-in-time and over-time recognition - as part of the ECC-to-S/4HANA conversion.
  • Architect the SAP Subscription Billing solution (cloud, on SAP BTP): rate plans and pricing, subscription lifecycle, usage rating/metering, and bill creation for recurring, one-time, usage/consumption-based, and tiered models.
  • Design the integration between SAP Subscription Billing and S/4HANA - billing/invoice data flowing into Convergent Invoicing (FI-CA) and/or SD billing, and onward into RAR - using SAP Integration Suite / API-based (iFlow) patterns; define the BTP integration and data architecture.
  • Lead fit-gap analysis on complex subscription and revenue scenarios - multi-element/bundled software-plus-service deals, ramp deals, mid-term upgrades/downgrades and proration, cancellations and credits, usage overages, and contract modifications under ASC 606.
  • Design the inflight-contract transition and initial-load strategy; define the migration approach for revenue data moving off ECC, and the onboarding/migration approach for active subscriptions into SAP Subscription Billing.
  • Ensure RAR sub-ledger reconciliation with FI-GL and COPA, and reconciliation between Subscription Billing, invoicing (CI/FI-CA), and revenue; validate G/L postings with accounting teams and support disclosure and reporting needs.
  • Direct integration, regression, and UAT testing across the S/4HANA and BTP landscape; lead cutover, go-live, and hypercare, including high-volume order, subscription, and usage-data conversion validation.
  • Own the solution post-go-live: lead support, period-close and billing-cycle support, enhancements, and SAP release/upgrade impact assessments (including the cloud release cadence of Subscription Billing), and maintain solution documentation and governance.
  • Manage and direct system integrator (SI) resources, coordinate with internal functional/configuration teams, and partner with internal audit, external auditors, and controllership on ongoing compliance and revenue policy changes.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on SAP RAR configuration experience across full-lifecycle implementations and/or ECC-to-S/4HANA conversions; relevant SAP certifications (RAR, SD/FI) preferred.
  • Experience implementing or integrating SAP Subscription Billing (the standalone cloud product on BTP), including rate plans, usage rating, and the S/4HANA integration pattern; familiarity with Convergent Invoicing (FI-CA) as the landing point is an asset.
  • Deep IFRS 15 / ASC 606 revenue recognition expertise as applied to subscription and multi-element arrangements, including transition and initial-load strategies.
  • Strong command of BRFplus, ARL, and RAI-based integration between billing and RAR.
  • Working knowledge of SAP BTP and SAP Integration Suite (Cloud Integration / iFlows, APIs) for cloud-to-S/4HANA integration.
  • Proven OTC/QTC and order/subscription-management architecture experience (pricing, account determination, Fiori) feeding billing and revenue.
  • Preferred experience with SAP ECC to S/4 HANA migration or full life cycle S/4 HANA Implementation and support.
  • Fluency in SAP Activate deliverables by phase and in cutover discipline (freeze windows, mock cycles, reconciliation gates, go/no-go).
  • RAR / event-based revenue recognition exposure for subscriptions.
  • Familiarity with S/4HANA Private Cloud (RISE) deployment and SAP Activate; FI-GL and COPA integration knowledge.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead internal teams and SI partners, and to bridge technical and accounting/business audiences.
