About the Role

The SAP Finance Domain Architect serves as Talan’s functional authority for SAP finance processes and plays a central role in developing new business opportunities, with up to 50% of the role dedicated to presales activities. The role covers the Finance value chain and translates business requirements into SAP Finance solutions, acting as a design authority for active engagements.

Responsibilities

Dedicate up to 50% of working time to presales activities, including opportunity qualification, discovery workshops, and client presentations.
Design SAP Finance solutions, prepare estimates, and contribute to commercial proposals in partnership with Sales and Delivery teams.
Develop reusable demonstrations, accelerators, and offerings that support practice growth.
Provide deep functional expertise to shape solutions by distinguishing standard capabilities, genuine gaps, and the choice among configuration, extension, or process change.
Lead Finance workstreams in digital discovery and readiness assessments, then present recommendations, estimates, assumptions, and trade-offs in workshops, proposals, and oral presentations.
Assess the financial implications of adjacent process designs, including revenue recognition, intercompany activity, inventory valuation, fixed assets, and period close.
Define and uphold the functional architecture for Finance, including universal journal, the SAP S/4HANA data model, consolidation, planning, costing, margin analysis, asset accounting, project systems, and treasury touchpoints.
Configure and prototype complex scenarios when design decisions cannot be settled on paper, then confirm the end-to-end behaviour of postings, master data, and interfaces.
Advise clients on IFRS and statutory requirements in Canada and the United States and on where tax engines and e-invoicing belong in the solution.
Review and approve functional designs, specifications for reports, interfaces, enhancements, forms, and workflows, and the domain’s critical test strategies and scripts.
Support defect analysis during system integration, user acceptance, and regression testing, then resolve domain escalations through cutover, hypercare, and transition into AMS.
Guide data migration and cutover decisions, including opening balances, open items, and master-data quality thresholds.
Act as the Finance design authority across multiple concurrent engagements and serve as the quality gate before deliverables reach clients.
Coach functional consultants through design reviews, contribute to interviews and onboarding, and identify the capabilities the practice must develop, train, or hire.
Track the SAP roadmap for the domain and brief the practice on changes that affect the standard approach, clean core, and cloud solutions.
Create and maintain reusable process models, configuration accelerators, demo environments and scripts, guides, and design patterns for presales and delivery.
Capture engagement lessons and patterns in practice intellectual property and contribute domain content to AI-enabled delivery tools and the internal knowledge base.

Requirements

At least twelve (12) years of SAP experience, including at least ten (10) years of hands-on configuration in Finance, with a track record as the domain escalation point.
Participation in at least four (4) SAP S/4HANA projects on current releases, including at least one greenfield implementation or selective transition where the candidate owned domain design.
Demonstrated experience in opportunity qualification, discovery sessions, solution design, estimates, commercial proposals, demonstrations, and client presentations.

At least three (3) years reviewing and approving other people’s functional designs, with demonstrated experience supporting multiple concurrent engagements.
Expertise in universal journal and the SAP S/4HANA Finance data model, Group Reporting or a comparable consolidation tool, SAP Analytics Cloud Planning, product costing, and margin analysis.
Hands-on experience with asset accounting, project systems, capital project accounting, and integration points involving revenue recognition, intercompany activity, inventory valuation, fixed assets, and period close.
Working knowledge of IFRS and local statutory requirements in Canada and the United States and of the integration of tax engines and e-invoicing.
Working credibility in at least two of Mining, Oil and Gas, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Industrial Manufacturing.
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
Canada-based role with client travel across North America, representing approximately 20% to 40% of working time.
