S/4HANA Operations Finance Data Lead
I’m looking to speak with experienced SAP S/4HANA Finance professionals for a senior Operations Finance Data Lead opportunity within a major global transformation programme in the pharmaceutical sector.
This is a key role sitting at the intersection of Operations Finance, SAP S/4HANA and Data, with a particular focus on Product Costing, Inventory Valuation and Material Ledger. You’ll help shape how Operations Finance data is designed, governed and ultimately used within S/4HANA — ensuring that the future-state solution works in practice for both operational finance processes and analytics.
Key areas of responsibility include:
- Leading data design across Product Costing and Inventory
- Providing SME expertise around Inventory Valuation and Material Ledger
- Supporting the transition from SAP ECC to S/4HANA
- Defining and embedding enterprise data standards and governance
- Assessing existing data structures and identifying harmonisation opportunities
- Supporting data cleansing, enrichment and migration activities
- Translating Finance process requirements into robust data requirements
- Ensuring data design supports operational reporting and analytics
- Working across global Finance, Data & Analytics and S/4 deployment teams
- Influencing senior stakeholders and helping drive adoption of the future-state design
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.

Key Skills:
You’ll have significant experience within Operations Finance, combined with strong SAP knowledge and a deep understanding of Finance data. In particular, you should bring strong experience across Product Costing, Inventory Valuation and Material Ledger, alongside an understanding of how these areas integrate with wider SAP processes. Experience working on a large-scale Finance or ERP transformation programme is important, while previous S/4HANA implementation experience would be highly desirable. Experience within pharma, life sciences or healthcare, as well as Data Governance and Data Quality, would also be advantageous. This would suit someone who can bridge the gap between Finance, Data and SAP — someone equally comfortable getting into detailed data requirements and engaging with senior stakeholders across a complex global programme.
