Department: IT / SAP Functional Delivery / Defence & Security Systems Reports to: SAP D&S Functional Lead / Head of Defence ERP Organizational & Logistics Processes

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced SAP Defence & Security (D&S) Organizational Management Professional with deep expertise in Organizational Flexibility, Force Elements, and integration with Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) processes within SAP S/4HANA Defence & Security environments (including DFPS compatibility scope where relevant).

This contract role supports mission-critical, long-term public sector / defence programmes across EU-based initiatives. You will focus on configuring and optimizing the core Force Element (FE) structures that model military/police/aid organizations' hierarchical units (from headquarters to teams), enabling dynamic organizational flexibility across peacetime, exercise, deployment, and wartime scenarios.
Key emphasis is on integrating Organizational Management with defence-specific SCM (e.g., logistics structures, stock provisioning, equipment loans/pools, replenishment) and MRO (e.g., maintenance integration, flight/vehicle operations support, disconnected maintenance planning) to ensure mission readiness, resource allocation, capability planning, and compliance in classified, hybrid, on-premise, and disconnected operations.
Ideal for professionals with hands-on experience in regulated defence/aerospace ERP implementations, where organizational structures drive force generation, readiness analytics, logistics, and maintenance processes under strict NATO/MoD/national security frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, configure, and maintain Force Elements (FE) and Force Element Structures in SAP S/4HANA D&S — including TOE (Table of Organization & Equipment), ORBAT (Order of Battle), subordination relationships, sensitivity levels, and multiple parallel structures (peacetime, exercise, operations, war)
• Implement Organizational Flexibility features for dynamic changes to force structures, resource assignments, and downstream impacts on personnel, equipment, finance, and logistics — supporting rapid reconfiguration in operational/mission contexts
• Integrate Organizational Management with SCM processes — including logistics structures, personal/functional equipment management, stock provisioning, catalog replenishment, loans & pools, and disconnected supply operations
• Configure MRO integration within D&S — covering maintenance task planning/execution (even disconnected), equipment installation/removal, time since event tracking, flight/vehicle pool scheduling, and support for base/component/line maintenance in defence assets
• Perform capability planning and readiness analytics by linking Force Elements to personnel data models, equipment, tasks, and cost objects — ensuring accurate modeling of force life cycle support and mission requirements
• Conduct impact assessments and configuration for D&S-specific extensions (e.g., Force Management Applications, Roles and Authorizations controlled by Action and Information (RANA), Object Role Change, Mission Task Lists)
• Collaborate with D&S functional teams (HR, FI, Logistics, Maintenance), military/planning stakeholders, security officers, and programme leads to translate defence operational needs into SAP organizational configurations
• Ensure compliance with defence standards (national classifications, NATO interoperability, MoD frameworks), GDPR in personnel contexts, and programme security requirements for classified organizational data
• Support system landscape transformations (e.g., DFPS compatibility to native D&S), upgrades, custom developments (Fiori apps, ABAP extensions), and disconnected scenario testing
• Define and enforce governance for Force Element master data, structural authorizations (RADS integration), and audit trails in high-security environments
• Provide expertise on Fiori-based apps (e.g., Manage Force Elements) and innovations in S/4HANA D&S roadmap (e.g., enhanced disconnected ops, capability/readiness analytics)
• Contribute to documentation, best-practice blueprints, and training for defence users managing organizational structures in SAP

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 6–10+ years in SAP Organizational Management / HCM or related functional areas, with 4+ years in SAP Defence & Security (D&S / DFPS) or equivalent high-security military/public sector implementations
• Hands-on experience with Force Elements, Organizational Flexibility, and force structure modeling in SAP S/4HANA D&S
• Proven expertise integrating OM with SCM (logistics, equipment management, provisioning) and MRO (maintenance planning, asset management) in defence contexts
• Strong knowledge of SAP authorization concepts extended by D&S (e.g., RADS, structural authorizations tied to Force Elements)
• Understanding of defence processes (force generation/employment, capability planning, readiness tracking, disconnected operations)
• Familiarity with SAP in hybrid/cloud (RISE with SAP, BTP) and on-premise/disconnected deployments

Preferred Skills & Certifications

• SAP certifications: SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA for Defence & Security (e.g., IDS20 Organizational Flexibility equivalent), SAP Organizational Management, SAP SCM / Plant Maintenance, or Defence & Security Overview
• Knowledge of SAP HANA modeling for readiness analytics and force data
• Experience with Fiori apps for Force Element management and D&S innovations
• Current or eligible security clearance (SC / DV or equivalent EU/national level) — essential for programme access
• Proven track record on long-term public sector / defence SAP programmes, NATO/MoD frameworks

Personal Attributes

• Security-first mindset with meticulous attention to detail in classified/mission-critical organizational modeling
• Strong analytical skills for complex force structures and integration scenarios
• Excellent communication to bridge functional consultants, military commanders, and senior stakeholders
• Proactive, resilient, and able to operate under strict confidentiality, compliance, and operational readiness demands
• Team player experienced in multi-agency, international defence or public security projects
•  

If you are EU/UK passport-eligible, hold or can obtain SC/DV clearance, and have proven experience configuring SAP D&S Organizational Management (Force Elements / Flexibility) with SCM & MRO integrations in defence environments — ideally on long-term programmes — this is a key opportunity to shape mission-critical defence ERP capabilities.

Apply with your CV, current clearance status/eligibility, and details of your most relevant SAP D&S Organizational Management project, including Force Element / SCM / MRO aspects in defence, aerospace, or public security.
