About the Role

We are looking for a visionary Head of SAP Finance Product to bridge the gap between financial strategy and technical execution. In this pivotal role, you will not just “manage” our SAP landscape; you will own it as a Product. You will drive the roadmap for our SAP S/4HANA ecosystem, ensuring it serves as a scalable, automated, and compliant backbone for our rapidly growing Fintech operations in Saudi Arabia.

You will lead a cross-functional team to deliver high-velocity financial innovations while ensuring strict adherence to SAMA (Saudi Central Bank) cybersecurity guidelines and ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing integrations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define the Vision: Treat the SAP Finance landscape as an internal product, creating a long‑term roadmap that aligns with company goals (e.g., IPO readiness, regional expansion, new product launches).
  • Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary bridge between Finance, Treasury, and Tech, translating complex business requirements into scalable SAP technical solutions.

2. KSA Regulatory & Compliance Leadership

  • ZATCA Integration: Lead the end‑to‑end technical compliance for ZATCA Phase 2 (Integration Phase), ensuring seamless real‑time reporting of e‑invoices.
  • Tax & Zakat Automation: Configure and maintain automated workflows for VAT, Withholding Tax, and Zakat to ensure zero‑error regulatory reporting.
  • SAMA Compliance: Ensure all SAP financial data processes meet SAMA’s strict data sovereignty, audit trail, and cybersecurity standards.

3. Technical Architecture & Integration

  • Core Fintech Integration: Architect robust APIs and integration layers between SAP S/4HANA and core Fintech systems (Payment Gateways, Core Banking, Treasury Management).
  • S/4HANA Optimization: Oversee the configuration and health of core modules: FI (GL, AP, AR)
  • Automation First: Drive the adoption of SAP BTP and Fiori to automate reconciliation, bank statement processing, and month‑end closing cycles.
  • Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and lead a high‑performing team of Functional Consultants, ABAP Developers, and Product Owners.
  • Vendor Governance: Manage relationships with SAP System Integrators (SIs) and external partners, ensuring delivery quality and cost efficiency.

Requirements

Education & Certifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Finance, or related field.
  • Master’s/MBA is strongly preferred.
  • CMA / CPA / ACCA certification is a strong plus (demonstrating financial acumen).
  • SAP Certifications: SAP S/4HANA Finance or SAP Activate Project Manager.

Experience

  • 10+ Years of total experience in SAP Finance ecosystems.
  • 3+ Years in a leadership role (Head of Finance Systems, Product Lead, or Solution Architect).
  • KSA Market Expertise: Proven track record with ZATCA e‑invoicing, VAT, and SAMA regulations is non‑negotiable.
  • Fintech/Banking Exposure: Experience integrating SAP with banking interfaces (Host‑to‑Host, SWIFT, SARIE) or high‑volume transaction platforms.

Skills & Mindset

  • Technical Depth: Hands‑on experience with SAP FICO, ABAP concepts, and Fiori Apps.
  • Product Mindset: Ability to prioritize features based on business value rather than just technical requirements.
  • Language: Fluency in English is required; Arabic is highly advantageous for regulatory liaison.
