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 roles

We’re investing in the leadership of our SAP Finance practice and are hiring for two senior roles. Both are client-facing, both work with senior finance leaders on S/4HANA transformation, and both will shape how our Finance practice grows. They differ in focus:

Associate Director (Delivery) – accountable for the successful delivery and commercial performance of SAP Finance engagements across a portfolio of clients, and for leading our finance delivery teams.

Director (Solution Architect) – our senior design authority for SAP S/4HANA Finance, owning end-to-end finance architecture and leading the solution on major bids.

Tell us which role fits you best when you apply, or talk it through with us if you’re not sure.

What you’ll be doing

Associate Director (Delivery)

  • Take overall accountability for SAP S/4HANA Finance engagements across multiple clients, including scope, quality, timelines and budget
  • Own senior client relationships with Finance Directors and programme sponsors
  • Manage the commercial performance of your engagements, including margin, utilisation, change control and forecasting
  • Lead finance pre-sales pursuits, including proposals, RFP responses, estimates and statements of work
  • Lead and line-manage Consulting Leads and consultants, including resourcing and career development
  • Provide delivery assurance across engagements and step in on escalations

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
