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 is based in Iceland and works remotely, 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.
• Design the automation: 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.
• Define the integration design 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.
• Plan monitoring, recovery and non-functional design, and lead engineers through build, testing and go-live.
• Review deliverables against the design 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.
• Controls in designs: role-based security, segregation of duties, audit trails and SOX-aligned evidence.
• 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, BPA-to-RunMyJobs migration, tasks from the SAP Financial Closing cockpit or SAP Advanced Financial Closing.
