SAP Cloud ERP Contractor (SAP SD/MM) - UK (Hybrid) - 6-12 Month Contract

Location: UK-based (Hybrid)
Rate: Competitive (Outside IR35 possible)
Duration: Initial 6-12 months with likely extensions
Project: ECC to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Migration

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced SAP Cloud ERP Contractor with deep expertise in SD (Sales & Distribution) and MM (Materials Management) to support a major transformation programme as we migrate from a long-standing ECC 6.0 landscape to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.

This role is ideal for someone who has delivered or supported previous public cloud implementations, understands the differences vs. on-premise ECC, and can guide the business through fit-to-standard processes, data transition, configuration and testing.

Real Project Context

Our organisation is entering a crucial phase of a multi-year digital transformation. After more than a decade of operating on a heavily customised ECC environment, we are shifting to SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud to modernise operations, standardise global processes, and reduce technical debt.

The SD/MM contractor will be embedded into a workstream that includes:

Redesigning SD and MM processes to align with Public Cloud fit-to-standard principles.
Supporting data cleansing and migration from ECC to S/4HANA Public Cloud.
Working closely with functional teams, offshore resources, and SAP implementation partners.
Guiding the business through change impacts where custom ECC processes cannot be replicated in the cloud.
Participating in sprint-based configuration, testing cycles, and cutover planning.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role with significant influence on how the business adopts standardised cloud processes.

Key Responsibilities

Act as the functional SME for SAP SD and MM in a Public Cloud migration programme.
Drive fit-to-standard workshops, articulate gaps, and recommend cloud-compliant solutions.
Configure relevant SD/MM scope items within SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.
Support integration with other modules: FI, PP, Procurement, and external logistics systems.
Contribute to data migration design, mapping and validation.
Prepare functional specifications for WRICEF objects where absolutely necessary (minimising customisation).
Lead testing cycles: SIT, UAT, regression.
Provide go-live support and ensure smooth transition to BAU.

Required Skills & Experience

Proven experience as an SAP SD/MM consultant, ideally within S/4HANA (Public or Private Cloud).
Strong background in ECC with a clear understanding of differences and constraints in Public Cloud.
Experience in end-to-end implementations or migrations.
Strong knowledge of SD processes (Order-to-Cash, pricing, billing, delivery) and MM processes (Procure-to-Pay, inventory management, purchasing).
Understanding of master data, integration points, and cloud-driven standardisation.
Ability to work with both technical and business teams, translating requirements into practical cloud solutions.
Excellent communication skills and the confidence to challenge legacy ECC thinking where needed.

Nice to Have

Experience with SAP BTP extensions or integrations.
Experience in agile delivery methodologies.
Familiarity with logistics execution or warehouse integrations.
