SAP Finance Transformation Manager (Supply Chain)
SAP Finance Transformation Manager (Supply Chain)
Career level: Manager (CL7) | Location: London / Manchester / Edinburgh | Practice: Finance Reinvention Partner (SAP)
Why this role
This role owns the supply-chain finance and product-costing workstream end to end on large-scale SAP S/4HANA finance transformations, in front of the client, as the finance design authority for how manufacturing and supply-chain activity turns into cost transparency and margin insight. It's a role to become the person clients rely on to make the cost model hold up — product cost, inventory value and margin — and to grow into the design authority for our supply-chain finance work.

"Our clients want a partner that can help them reinvent—boldly, continuously and at speed… while continuously building the most client-focused, AI-enabled great place to work for our people—our Reinventors." — Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO
What you'll bring
Product costing and inventory valuation. Deep SAP S/4HANA product costing — standard, actual and variance — and how the material ledger carries actual costs and inventory valuation through goods movements. You understand how cost of goods sold is built and analysed, and how a cost estimate holds together from raw material to finished goods in a real manufacturing environment.
Margin and profitability. Real depth in margin analysis and COPA / profitability — turning production and supply-chain activity into profitability insight that lines up with how the business and finance actually want to see it. You know where margin comes from, where it leaks, and how variances and cost drivers explain it.
Finance process context. A clear view of how supply-chain finance connects to the wider Record-to-Report close and reporting — period-end for manufacturing and supply-chain environments, profit-centre and reporting structures, inventory and production-related controls, and the integration between logistics and finance. You can read the trade-off between operational flexibility and finance standardisation, and design for both.
Leading delivery. You lead the supply chain finance workstream end to end — fit-to-standard, finance process design, testing and deployment — as the finance design authority for the domain, keeping solutions business-led and scalable. You manage dependencies with adjacent finance and supply-chain areas, work alongside SAP delivery teams while retaining ownership of finance outcomes and margin insight, and lead functional teams across onshore and offshore delivery. You facilitate design workshops with finance, supply-chain and operations stakeholders, and keep delivery on track through structured issue management, decision papers and clear reporting.
Growing the practice. You contribute to how the practice grows — supporting proposals and bids, shaping supply-chain finance transformation approaches, and building reusable assets and points of view.
Ways of working. We're increasingly an AI-first delivery team — bringing agentic tooling and orchestration into how we design, analyse and deliver, with our people owning the judgement and the outcome. Experience of AI-augmented delivery is a real plus.
