A bit about us
We’re Applexus, a global IT Consultancy with a people-centric and collaborative culture focused on employee well-being, learning and development and creating an excellent place for our people to work.
As an SAP Partner with over 30 years’ SAP experience, we provide wall-to-wall SAP advisory, implementation, development and support services.
Our mission is to deliver business process solutions of enduring value to our customers, through a combination of technical expertise, best practice and innovation – this is where you come in!
A bit about the role
As a Lead SAP Finance Consultant, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering complex SAP S/4 Finance solutions for our clients. This is a strategic, client-facing position where you will act as a trusted advisor - leading solution design, influencing finance transformation roadmaps, and guiding clients through on-premise and cloud (public and private) SAP landscapes.
You will combine deep finance process expertise with strong delivery leadership, supporting pre-sales engagements, defining best practices, and mentoring consultants across the practice. Module experience across FI/CO is essential, with additional exposure to PS, Treasury, and JVA considered a strong advantage. This role is suited to someone who thrives in a dynamic consulting environment, balancing delivery, relationship management, and practice development.
