This position configures Army business requirements in SAP S/4 HANA and demonstrates various capabilities to support integrated, end-to-end business processes.
The role requires personally configuring SAP functionality, executing business transactions, troubleshooting system behavior, and validating results. The consultant independently performs configuration, explains configuration decisions, and demonstrates the resulting business process behavior. The configurator develops and validates prototype capabilities that inform requirements, fit-to-standard assessments, solution design, and implementation planning.
This position supports the US Army’s SMX prototyping system, SCoUT—the Systems Convergence and Unification Tool—and collaborates with Business Analysts, Business Owners, Subject Matter Experts (SME), solution architects, and technical teams.
