Senior Business Analyst – SAP Analytics (Transformation)

Main tasks, roles and responsibilities

Requirement Engineering & Stakeholder Management

• Elicit, analyze, and document business requirements for analytics/reporting use cases (interviews, workshops, process walkthroughs).
• Moderate workshops and align stakeholders across business functions, IT, and external partners.
• Translate business needs into clear, testable functional requirements (user stories, acceptance criteria, functional specs)
• Ensure requirements are complete, consistent, testable, and ready for implementation.

SAP ERP ECC Domain Focus (Quantities & Value Flows)

• Analyze and map end-to-end business processes and related data flows in SAP ECC (e.g., order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, production/logistics—depending on scope).
• Understand and validate Value and Quantity streams: quantities, values, postings, document chains, and controlling/logistics implications relevant for analytics.
• Ensure correct business logic and semantic consistency for KPIs, measures, and dimensional models.
• Translate business process logic into analytics and reporting requirements.

Analytics & Solution Alignment

• Work closely with solution architects and BI/analytics teams to shape solution options and ensure feasibility.
• Contribute to target concepts for modern analytics (data products, semantic layers, harmonized KPI definitions, governance).
• Support the transition towards modern analytical approaches and platforms (incl. SAP Business Data Cloud direction), ensuring requirements fit the target architecture.

Backlog & Delivery Support

• Create and maintain a prioritized backlog; support release planning and effort/value discussions.
• Coordinate and steer external consultants/developers from a functional perspective (scope clarification, requirement refinement, review of deliverables).
• Support functional testing (UAT preparation, test cases, defect triage) and ensure user enablement (documentation, trainings).
• Ensure proper documentation and user enablement (guidelines, training materials)
