This role is offered as a two-year fixed term contract, running from greenfield platform design in Explore phase through to post go-live stabilisation. You’ll form a two-person analytics team alongside our SAC/planning resource (transitioning from BW/BPC), your focus being the data platform layer. There is no BW migration; everything is built from scratch, making early design decisions critical. <strong>You must be proficient with SAP Datasphere; space design, data flows, replication flows, and semantic modelling.</strong> You’ll also be charged with developing the standards, documentation, and approach to gathering data requirements. Whilst a big part of the role is about making sure we get requirements right and produce reports, you’ll also be tasked with how we move from basic reporting delivery to drawing insights and running analytics to drive business intelligence and decision making</span></p></div></div><div style="padding:10.0px 0.0px;border:1.0px solid transparent"><div style="font-size:16.0px;word-wrap:break-word"><H2 style="font-size:1.0em;margin:0.0px">What will make you successful in the role?</H2> </div><div><ul> <li style="line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Exposure <strong>to SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC)</strong> and its integration architecture</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">SAP Datasphere experience - data flows, replication flows, semantic modelling</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Greenfield platform design experience - <strong>building from scratch, not migrating</strong></span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Strong <strong>data modelling</strong> - fact/dimension design, semantic layers, governance</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Ability to articulate data architecture clearly to Finance and business stakeholders</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Ability to review and challenge SI technical designs for long-term supportability</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Working knowledge of SAC as a consumption layer</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Good understanding of Data Governance and how to implement within projects</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Can design complex low-level design documentation for Data, BI and Cloud solutions</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Familiarity with S/4HANA Finance data structures - Universal Journal, cost centre/profit centre</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Experience in a RISE with SAP / clean core environment</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Knowledge of non-SAP data integration into Datasphere</span></li> <li style="margin-bottom:0.0cm;margin-top:0.0cm;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">SAP certification in Datasphere or BW/4HANA</span></li> <li style="margin-top:6.0pt;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-right:0.0cm;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif">Awareness of Joule and embedded AI capabilities within BDC</span></li> </ul> <p style="margin:0.0cm 0.0cm 0.0cm 36.0pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif"> </p></div></div></div><p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Equal Opportunities & Reasonable Adjustments</strong></span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif;font-size:10.0pt">We’re building something brilliant at MAG: a diverse team of Journey Makers who share our values and want to make a difference.
