SAP Roles & Authorisations Workstream Lead (S/4HANA Public Cloud) - Contract
Exalto Consulting is supporting a confidential SAP cloud programme to appoint an experienced SAP Roles & Authorisations specialist to lead the workstream end-to-end.
This role is focused on delivery leadership, design governance, quality assurance, and audit-ready documentation. It is not a BAU security operations post and includes a structured handover at contract end.
What you'll do
  • Lead the Roles & Authorisations workstream, owning outcomes across the programme
  • Provide day-to-day direction to an offshore delivery team responsible for role build, documentation and test evidence
  • Assess the current role model and access usage, identify key risks, and recommend rationalisation/standardisation
  • Define a target access model across:
    • SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud
    • SuccessFactors EC / EC-P
    • SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
    • SAP Datasphere
  • Ensure designs are persona-based, least-privilege by default, and support controlled approvals and auditability
  • Drive the delivery backlog and prioritisation for role builds and access changes
  • Support SIT/UAT readiness by ensuring users/roles are provisioned correctly and validated
  • Run stakeholder workshops and present design decisions/exceptions through governance forums
  • Collaborate with corporate IAM/Active Directory teams (joiner/mover/leaver, groups, SSO concepts) to align SAP roles with wider access controls
Key deliverables
  • Workstream plan (milestones, dependencies, RAID)
  • As-is access assessment and risk findings
  • Target role design standards and naming conventions
  • Role mapping matrix (current target)
  • Role catalogues across the platforms in scope
  • Access validation approach and persona-based test scripts
  • Evidence packs to support sign-off and audit readiness
  • Structured handover into BAU/security operations
Experience we're looking for (essential)
  • Proven delivery lead experience for SAP Roles & Authorisations on complex programmes
  • Strong access model design experience for S/4HANA Public Cloud and connected SAP platforms
  • Track record leading offshore-heavy delivery and assuring quality of outputs
  • Strong stakeholder management and workshop facilitation skills
  • Governance mindset: least privilege, documentation discipline, audit readiness
  • Working knowledge of IAM/AD concepts sufficient to collaborate effectively (JML, groups, SSO)
Nice to have
  • Experience in regulated environments / public sector
  • Exposure to SoD processes/tooling (working with compliance/GRC)
  • Experience using SAP Cloud ALM for traceability
Contract overview
  • Inside IR35 / PAYE
  • Hybrid working (details shared at shortlist stage due to confidentiality)
  • Rate: £655 per day (Inside IR35 / PAYE)
  • Start: ASAP, subject to BPSS screening
  • Duration: until 30/06/2026 (current view)
