Lead SAP Financial Systems Analyst

Lead SAP Financial Systems Analyst Belfast (Hybrid - 3 days on-site) Open to UK-based candidates willing to relocate to Belfast Competitive base salary  benefits (healthcare, pension, etc.) A global technology manufacturer is continuing to build out its Belfast operation and is looking to hire a Lead SAP Financial Systems Analyst to strengthen its internal Finance Systems capability. This is a hands-on, business-facing role for someone who enjoys owning SAP Finance processes day-to-day, improving how systems actually work in practice, and being the go-to person when Finance needs something understood, fixed or improved.

This is not a consulting or programme architecture role. It's about internal ownership, practical problem-solving and continuous improvement within a large SAP S/4

HANA landscape. The Opportunity You'll sit at the centre of Finance and IT, taking ownership of core SAP Finance processes and supporting stakeholders across the UK, Europe and the US. Belfast is becoming a key hub for Finance Systems, and this role plays a critical part in stabilising, improving and standardising how SAP supports the business globally. You'll work closely with Finance users, controllers and IT colleagues to ensure month-end runs smoothly, costing and reporting are reliable, and changes to SAP are well thought through and well delivered.

What You'll Be Doing Owning and supporting core SAP Finance processes within an S/4

HANA environment (FI/CO). Acting as the primary point of contact for Finance when SAP issues arise or processes need improvement. Troubleshooting finance-related SAP issues (postings, integrations, month-end issues, costing variances, reporting queries). Working with Finance stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into practical system changes. Supporting testing, documentation and user support during upgrades, releases and change initiatives. Helping improve data quality, consistency and stability across global Finance processes.

Working with wider IT teams and external partners where needed, while retaining internal ownership of solutions. Who This Role Suits Someone with strong hands-on SAP Finance experience in an internal environment (or long-term embedded roles). Comfortable getting into the detail - understanding how postings flow, how processes work, and why issues occur. Experience supporting or owning Finance processes such as GL, AP, AR, Asset Accounting, product costing, COPA or Material Ledger.

Confident working directly with Finance users and explaining SAP concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders. A practical problem-solver who enjoys improving how things work rather than delivering one-off projects. Looking for a stable, long-term role where they can become a trusted internal expert.

Note:

This role is not aimed at solution architects, programme leads or purely advisory profiles. Why This Role Stands Out Belfast is a growing strategic location with genuine investment and visibility. You'll have real ownership and influence over how SAP Finance works day-to-day. Exposure to a global S/4

HANA landscape without being tied to consulting-style delivery. Supportive, low-ego culture that values people who get things done properly. Strong benefits package and long-term development opportunities. Working Model & Benefits Hybrid working: 3 days per week on-site in Belfast. Open to UK-based candidates willing to relocate. Competitive salary with healthcare, pension and additional benefits.
