Redwood Automation Solution Designer - SAP Finance Close

About the role

An established organisation is automating its SAP finance close on the Redwood platform (the same engine behind RunMyJobs, formerly SAP CPS and SAP BPA). The work covers the record-to-report cycle: accruals, balance sheet reconciliation, journal posting and period-end close, all driven into SAP S/4HANA and ECC. The consultant owns the solution design, works with finance process owners, and stays with the design through build, testing and go-live. The position is remote for consultants based in Slovenia, starting 15 November 2026, at EUR 400 per day.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse the current state of the SAP period-end close with controllers and finance operations leads.
• Define the target automation design: close task lists, dependencies, calendars, approvals and exception paths, written as the solution design.
• Cover accruals, balance sheet reconciliation and certification, and journal posting with its posting controls.
• Design the integration with SAP S/4HANA or ECC and other source systems via APIs, files and middleware.
• Design security and controls: role-based access, segregation of duties, audit trails and SOX-aligned evidence.
• Design monitoring, recovery and non-functional aspects of the close.
• Lead engineers through build, review deliverables at design-authority and go-live checkpoints, and define test strategy and acceptance criteria with finance users.

Required profile

• 8 or more years in SAP finance systems, finance automation or record-to-report process design.
• Experience designing an automated SAP FI/CO period-end close, including design workshops and writing the design yourself.
• Experience building controls such as role-based security, segregation of duties, audit trails and SOX-aligned evidence.
• Experience leading engineers from an approved design through build, testing and go-live.

Required skills

• Solution design on the Redwood platform (RunMyJobs, SAP BPA by Redwood, SAP CPS or Cronacle).
• Useful but not essential: Redwood Finance Automation (RunMyFinance), a BPA-to-RunMyJobs migration, CPS or Redwood tasks from the SAP Financial Closing cockpit, or SAP Advanced Financial Closing.
