Job Description

We’re looking for an onsite Application Management Support (AMS) resource to run day-to-day support and small enhancements for a SAP BW/4HANA (Business Warehouse for HANA) landscape, coordinate with offshore delivery, and ensure business-critical reporting continuity—especially during month-end/quarter-end/year-end close.
Key responsibilities
Service management & delivery ownership
• Manage client stakeholders and the offshore team to maintain business continuity and stable operations.
• Own ServiceNow queue hygiene: monitor for unassigned Incidents (defects) and Service Requests / RITMs (Request Item) and drive assignment/triage.
• Prioritize and deliver Incidents and Changes/RITMs based on business criticality, SLAs, and release constraints.
• Lead readiness and hypercare planning for major milestones (month-end, quarter-end, year-end close), including staffing and proactive monitoring.
Technical / functional ownership (BW & reporting)
• Ensure smooth operation of SAP BW/4HANA data models, loads, and reporting consumption.
• Support and govern BW-related development/enhancements including:
o BW ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) objects and fixes
o CDS Views (Core Data Services) usage and integration patterns
o Enterprise HANA / SAP HANA performance and data consistency considerations
• Own reporting support for SAP BusinessObjects (BOBJ):
o Web Intelligence (Webi)
o Analysis for Office (AO)
Integration & data quality operations
• Ensure data synchronization between SAP S/4HANA and non-SAP systems (including flat-file based feeds) is running reliably.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and coordinate resolution for failed/partial loads and reconciliation gaps.
Housekeeping & risk control
• Perform/coordinate housekeeping activities such as change request deletion/cleanup and general backlog hygiene.
• Maintain operational documentation and knowledge transfer (runbooks, SOPs, recurring issue notes).
Mini project / upgrade support
• Support an ongoing upgrade mini project (planning, coordination, cutover readiness, defect triage, and stabilization).
