About the Role
At DXC Technology, our SAP practice works with customers across the UK and Europe to deliver SAP solutions that support their most important business processes. We're looking for an experienced SAP FICO Functional Consultant to join our team and play a key role in helping customers get the most from their SAP Finance solutions.
We're committed to creating an inclusive working environment where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and succeed, with support and reasonable adjustments available throughout the hiring process.
This is a varied role where you'll work closely with customers, business users and colleagues across the wider SAP practice.

We're particularly interested in people who have experience across the full project lifecycle, from proposal response, solutioning and planning through to mobilisation, implementation and delivery. Experience of SAP S/4HANA, including S/4HANA migration programmes, would be particularly valuable.

To meet the current security requirements, candidates must be sole UK nationals and have lived and worked continuously in the UK for the past five years. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider dual nationals for this position.
