Join our dynamic team as a Senior Associate focused on SAP Human Capital Management (HCM). This role is integral to configuring, implementing, and supporting our SAP HCM modules, including Personnel Administration (PA), Organizational Management (OM), Time Management, and Payroll. You will collaborate closely with HR and business stakeholders to architect and deliver robust system solutions that streamline core HR processes. Ensuring alignment with organizational structures, compliance mandates, and strategic business goals is paramount.

This position offers the opportunity to leverage your expertise in a critical area of HR technology. You will be instrumental in optimizing our HR systems and ensuring they effectively support our workforce. Your contributions will directly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of our human resources operations.

Key responsibilities include configuring and maintaining core SAP HCM modules such as Personnel Administration (PA), Organizational Management (OM), Personnel Time Management (PT), and Payroll (PY). You will design and implement infotypes, enterprise/personnel structures, action types, and organizational hierarchies. Leading requirements-gathering workshops with HR stakeholders to translate business needs into SAP HCM configurations is essential. Furthermore, you will configure time schemas, work schedules, absence/attendance quotas, and time evaluation rules.

Support for payroll configuration, including schema/rule modifications (PCRs), wage type setup, and integration with Finance/Controlling (FI/CO), is also a core part of this role. You will manage integrations between SAP HCM and other systems like SuccessFactors, and third-party payroll/benefits providers using ALE/IDocs, PI/PO, or CPI. This includes conducting unit testing, integration testing, and providing UAT support during implementation and enhancement phases. Developing functional specifications, configuration documentation, and end-user training materials, alongside providing production support for break-fix, root-cause analysis, and enhancement delivery, are crucial. Staying current with SAP HCM support packs, legal changes, and best practices, and assessing their impact on existing configurations, will ensure our system remains optimal and compliant.

Candidates must possess a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field. A minimum of 3 to 6 years of hands-on experience configuring SAP HCM modules (PA, OM, Time Management, and/or Payroll) is required. A strong understanding of HR business processes, including hire-to-retire, organizational management, time and attendance, and payroll processing, is essential. Experience with infotype configuration, dynamic actions, feature configuration (e.g., ABKRS, LGMST), and PCR/schema modification is necessary.

Familiarity with SAP HCM integration points with FI/CO, SuccessFactors, and third-party interfaces is expected. Working knowledge of ABAP debugging (reading/troubleshooting code) is a valuable asset. Strong analytical, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills are critical for success in this role. Preferred qualifications include SAP HCM certification (PA/OM, Time Management, or Payroll), experience with SAP HCM-to-SuccessFactors hybrid/side-by-side deployments, exposure to SAP S/4HANA HR or Employee Central integration scenarios, and experience with country-specific payroll compliance. A consulting background from a Big 4 firm, SAP partner, or systems integrator is also a plus. Strong configuration and troubleshooting discipline across interconnected HR sub-modules, client-facing consulting and stakeholder management skills, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent support tickets or project workstreams are key competencies.
