Something about the company

You’ll be joining a specialist SAP data consultancy known for solving the messy, complex data problems most teams avoid. They help global clients navigate SAP landscapes, clean up legacy data, and migrate to modern platforms all with a small, senior team that genuinely knows their craft.

If you want deep SAP exposure, real mentorship, and interesting technical work, this is your spot.

Working with Open SQL, ABAP OO, and AMDP to move large data sets efficiently
Supporting ETL tools and reconciliation processes
Helping test migration objects and troubleshoot issues
Contributing during cutovers and go-lives
If you want to deepen your SAP + data skills, this role gives you everything: real projects, big migrations, and plenty of technical exposure.

Something about the person we’re looking for

You’ll thrive here if you:

Have ~3-4 years of ABAP development experience
Know your way around ABAP OO, BAPIs, function modules, and Open SQL
Have 1-2 years exposure to SAP data migration or ETL tools
Can write SQL queries and understand joins, aggregations, and performance basics
Have touched SAP modules like FI, MM, SD, or PP (even lightly)
Communicate clearly with consultants, clients, and technical teams
Enjoy structured problem-solving and want to become a migration specialist
Are organised, detail-obsessed, and comfortable working across multiple moving parts

Something about the benefits

You’ll enjoy:

Hands-on S/4HANA migration experience
Exposure to global SAP landscapes and multiple industries
A tight-knit consulting team that actually supports each other
Deep technical development in SAP data, ETL, and migration tooling
Clear growth paths into Senior ABAP, Data Migration Specialist, or SAP Data Consultant roles
