We’re open to applications from people who may require flexible working arrangements. There’ll be an opportunity to discuss your flexible working requirements during the interview process, and at offer stage.

We’re looking for a SAP Functional Consultant to join us in Manchester as part of our wider Digital Technology & Data team. As part of our ongoing digital transformation, we’ve successfully implemented SAP across our food retail business, and now we’re focusing on enhancing our Finance capabilities – this is where you’ll play a key role! In this role you’ll work in a hybrid way – spending around one day per week working from the office (find out more about our hybrid working policy at https://jobs.coop.co.uk/hybrid-working-policy).

As a SAP Functional Consultant at Co-op, you’ll provide thought leadership, functional design expertise, and technical knowledge to help strengthen our SAP platform and deliver new capabilities. We’ll look to you to collaborate with our SAP Solution Architects and business process experts; helping to define and offer solutions that meet the needs of our business. This is a great opportunity to play a huge part in our exciting SAP transformation journey across Co-op!

What you’ll do

• Lead the functional design for SAP Finance, coordinating the end-to-end process and its integration with other areas
• Collaborate with our SAP Solution Architects and advise colleagues on SAP Finance-related queries
• Provide input on all system integration activities
• Mentor and support your team members; helping to continuously develop our SAP capabilities
• Keep up to date with the latest SAP innovations to make sure we’re taking a future-focussed approach to our practices and solutions

This role would suit people who have

• Proven experience working on large-scale SAP transformation projects alongside multiple internal and external partners
• Good communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to clearly present technical information to non-technical audiences
• Good relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence and challenge people inclusively

At Co-op, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive working environment, so if you'd like to apply for this role but your experience doesn't quite meet every point, we'd still encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for the job or other roles we have available.
