Focus: SAP SuccessFactors | AMS | Configuration | Client Advisory
We are working with an established organisation that is strengthening its SAP SuccessFactors capability in Germany.
The team supports complex SAP SuccessFactors environments for a range of enterprise customers, with a focus on system stability, continuous improvement and long-term application development.
They are looking for an experienced SAP SuccessFactors professional who enjoys working closely with customers, solving complex system challenges and taking ownership of solutions beyond the initial implementation.
Unlike traditional project consulting, this position offers the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of customers' HR systems, influence how those environments evolve and build lasting relationships with key stakeholders.
The role combines hands-on SuccessFactors configuration, technical problem-solving and customer advisory responsibilities.
Take ownership of SAP SuccessFactors incidents, service requests and system enhancements.
Provide advanced functional and configuration support across your specialist SuccessFactors modules.
Investigate complex system issues, identify root causes and implement sustainable solutions.
Advise customers on configuration changes, process optimisation and application improvements.
Manage change requests and support the delivery of ongoing system enhancements.
Collaborate with technical specialists, consultants and customer stakeholders on cross-module challenges.
Support SAP SuccessFactors releases, system updates and testing activities.
Maintain clear technical documentation and share knowledge across the wider team.
Build strong customer relationships through consistent delivery and practical, solution-focused advice.
Approximately 5+ years of experience working with SAP SuccessFactors, ideally across implementation, configuration or application support.
Strong expertise in at least one of the following modules:
Employee Central (EC)
Employee Central Payroll (ECP)

Learning
Confidence investigating and resolving complex SuccessFactors issues.
Experience working directly with customers or internal business stakeholders.

Beneficial, but not essential:

SAP SuccessFactors certifications.
Experience supporting large or international SuccessFactors environments.
Candidates currently working in implementation consulting who would prefer a more sustainable, long-term customer engagement model are also encouraged to explore the opportunity.

Rather than moving immediately from one implementation to the next, you'll have the opportunity to remain involved with customers, understand their systems in depth and influence ongoing improvements.
A genuine technical focus
The position offers continued hands-on involvement with SuccessFactors, including configuration, troubleshooting, optimisation and system enhancements.
Remote flexibility
Work remotely from Germany, with occasional travel for customer or team meetings.
