Architect the controls framework — design the internal controls framework for S/4HANA, mapping business-process risks to preventive and detective controls, and defining how those controls are configured, automated, and evidenced within the system.
• Own SoD & access-risk strategy — partner with the security/authorization team on rule-set design/optimization, risk analysis, remediation, and mitigating controls.
• Automate process controls — define configurable controls embedded in S/4HANA processes (e.g., three-way match, tolerances, approval/release strategies, posting-period and document controls) and replace manual controls with system-enforced ones.
• Support SOX / ICFR — design the control catalog, define control objectives and key controls, align with the Risk and Control Matrix (RACM), and produce audit-ready evidence.
• Partner with audit & finance — work with internal audit, external audit, and finance to scope controls, respond to findings, and drive remediation to closure.




• Design controls in from the start — advise project and functional teams during S/4HANA implementations and enhancements to ensure 'controls by design' rather than retrofitted controls.
• Embed a controls culture — develop standards, documentation, and training to strengthen controls and compliance across process and technology teams Mandatory

Skills:
10+ years of experience in SAP GRC / internal controls / IT audit, with hands-on architecture experience on S/4HANA (implementation, migration, or transformation).
• Robust understanding of internal controls frameworks and SOX/ICFR, including control design, RACM, control testing, and audit evidence.
• Solid knowledge of S/4HANA business processes (e.g., Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash) and the configurable/application controls within them.
• Demonstrated ability to translate risk and compliance requirements into concrete, automated system controls.
• Experience working with internal/external auditors and remediating control findings.
• Excellent communication skills; able to engage finance, audit, risk, and IT stakeholders with equal fluency.
