• Oversee the design and build of reports, dashboards, KPIs, semantic models, CDS views and analytical data models

• Manage reporting governance, including naming conventions, KPI definitions, version control, lineage and business glossary alignment

• Drive report rationalisation by challenging legacy lift-and-shift requests and promoting standardisation

• Collaborate with data migration, master data, security, integration and technical architecture teams to ensure reporting is secure, scalable and supportable

• Manage reporting test strategy across SIT, UAT and reconciliation against source and legacy systems

• Lead reporting developers, analysts and partner resources to deliver the reporting backlog

• Support transition to operations, including hypercare, support processes, knowledge transfer and documentation

This is: what you'll need

• Proven experience leading reporting or analytics workstreams on a full-lifecycle SAP S/4HANA implementation

• Strong working knowledge of SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP Data Products and S/4HANA embedded analytics

• Experience with CDS views, Fiori analytical apps, semantic models, dashboards and SAP reporting architecture

• Solid understanding of SAP data models and reporting-relevant modules such as FI/CO, MM, SD, PP or similar

• Experience defining data governance standards, KPI definitions, reconciliation controls and reporting quality frameworks

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to manage senior business, technology and delivery stakeholders

• Demonstrated ability to lead mixed teams of analysts, developers and implementation partner resources

• Strong analytical judgement, with the confidence to balance standardisation against genuine business need

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present to technical and executive audiences
