As we continue to grow, we are seeking senior SAP leaders who combine deep functional expertise with strong client engagement skills to lead complex programmes and inspire high‑performing teams.

You will operate at the forefront of public‑sector technology, influencing outcomes that impact millions of citizens, while working in a collaborative environment that invests in your development and leadership journey.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

• Take responsibility for solution governance, ensuring alignment with clean‑core principles, non‑functional requirements, and compliance standards.
• Ensure quality and proactively manage risks, mitigating delivery challenges and supporting a smooth transition to live services.
• Mentor and support consultants, fostering capability in SAP TRM and related modules, and encouraging continuous improvement.
• Collaborate on strategic decisions, advising HMRC on technology roadmaps, operational efficiencies, and transformation priorities.

• Ability to engage with executive‑level stakeholders, simplify complex requirements, and support informed decision‑making.
• Strong SAP functional knowledge, complemented by experience in S/4HANA transformations and related technologies such as BRIM or BTP.
