Required Profile
•    7+ years SAP experience
•    3+ years strong SAP Analytics Cloud (Planning + Modeling)
•    Deep understanding of FI/CO and Project Controlling
•    Experience designing end-to-end data and value flows
•    Proven track record in transformation or MVP-style delivery
•    Strong client-facing communication skills
•    English fluent (German is a plus, not required)

Important
This role requires someone who:
