Here at DXC Technology we continue to grow our SAP practice. We are seeking an accomplished SAP S/4HANA Finance Solution Lead to join our Finance transformation team. This role provides overall solution leadership for the Finance domain within enterprise-scale S/4HANA programmes, ensuring that design decisions are consistent, compliant, and integrated across the business landscape. The Finance Solution Lead acts as the design authority across General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Asset Accounting, Controlling, Treasury, and Tax. You will ensure that the end-to-end solution meets client objectives, regulatory standards, and audit requirements, while also enabling future growth and innovation.

The Finance Solution Lead governs the overall Finance architecture within an S/4HANA programme.
