BizFirst is assisting our client with recruiting a skilled and experienced Senior SAP Analyst - Technical Lead. This position supports our client's newly awarded task order with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), where our client provides the expert personnel to operationalize and sustain BUMED's Government-led Command Support Team (CST). Every Navy general fund command establishes a local CST to execute mission-specific Tier 1.5 sustainment of the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, the Department of the Navy's authoritative platform for financial management. The CST is the local interface between the command and the General Fund Business Office (GFBO), which provides centralized Tier 2 enterprise sustainment. The work keeps BUMED processing financial transactions, closing accounting periods within the mandatory four-day reporting window, supporting audits, and maintaining accurate financial records without interruption. The role is hybrid, based at the Defense Health Headquarters (DHHQ) in Falls Church, VA, and requires U.S. citizenship and eligibility for a DoD Common Access Card (CAC).

Our client is a boutique consulting firm that employs consultants and professionals with unique skill sets to support the federal government with strategic execution, financial process enablement, IT systems, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software implementation.

What will you do

Serve as the overarching technical lead of the CST and BUMED's final troubleshooting escalation point for accounting-related Navy ERP issues. You will be the singular technical escalation point for complex interface errors, lead the administrative coordination and execution of the mandatory four-day period-end close, conduct system release impact assessments, coordinate all BUMED-led User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and resolve the most complex cross-module issues. You will also provide subject matter expertise on the financial processes of interfacing systems, including new implementations, modifications of existing interfaces, and successor environments, and own the technical desk guides that preserve BUMED's institutional knowledge. You will report to the Project Manager and technically direct the two Mid-level and two Junior SAP Analysts on the team.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the final Tier 1.5 escalation point: perform root cause analysis on complex, cross-module, and interface issues; determine when an issue requires GFBO Tier 2 support; document findings and execute formal escalations through the Tier 2 ticketing system and Quality Center / ALM.
  
• Lead period-end close: prepare the monthly Period-End Close Coordination Plan (submitted no later than five business days before month-end), track dependencies, identify and resolve discrepancies, and drive completion of all activities within the four-day financial reporting deadline; the Government retains all certification and approval authority.
  
• Provide functional and technical guidance across the Financials (FI), Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Controlling (CO), Workforce Management (WFM), Project Systems (PS), and Funds Management (FM) modules.
  
• Provide subject matter expertise on financial processes for interfacing systems, focused on new implementations and modifications of existing interfaces: analyze financial implications of integrations, safeguard data integrity for transactions that cross system boundaries (vendor payments, reimbursables), and support design and testing of financial processes for newly implemented systems in compliance with DoW and DoN financial policy.
  
• Provide technical design and operability support for the RIMS-FM interface and for the Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS) and successor interface, including required accounting events and transactions.
  
• Conduct impact assessments of all scheduled Navy ERP releases and enhancements, document results, and brief N8 leadership for decision-making.
  
• Act as primary facilitator for all BUMED-led UAT: develop UAT plans and test cases with stakeholders, coordinate tester schedules and resources, and track results; lead post-release verification and real-time user assistance.
  
• Support Quality Center administration, including Service Requests, Maintenance items, Defects, and Engineering Change Proposals, with prioritization recommendations for Government review.
  
• Develop and maintain technical desk guides documenting system configurations and advanced processes, and enforce a consistent format for all business process documentation maintained in the central repository.
  
• Lead process and workflow analysis using standard and N82-provided reports; propose and, on Government approval, implement automation using Power BI and Power Automate; coordinate external-system requirements (e.g., the U.S. Bank purchase card interface) and support submission of new reporting requirements to N82.
  
• Mentor and technically direct the Mid-level and Junior analysts; serve as acting lead in the Project Manager's absence.
  

Requirements:

• U.S. citizenship. Foreign nationals are not permitted access to the functional or system side of Navy ERP.
  
• Eligible for a DoD Common Access Card (CAC) and able to obtain and maintain a favorably adjudicated background investigation at the level determined by the Command Information System Security Manager. A Tier 3 (T3/T3R) or equivalent investigation is anticipated for Enhanced access to Navy ERP and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI); interim approval is not authorized.
  
• At least five (5) years of relevant experience, including at least four (4) years of direct experience with Navy ERP.
  
• Demonstrated expertise across multiple critical Navy ERP modules: FI, SD, MM, FM, and PS.
  
• Demonstrated experience serving as a technical escalation point for complex interface errors and leading or coordinating the period-end close process.
  
• Bachelor's degree; an additional two (2) years of relevant experience may substitute for the degree.
  
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Project, Access, Visio, and Adobe Acrobat; able to produce briefing slides, metric charts, program schedules, and organizational charts.
  
• Able to leverage artificial intelligence and automation platforms (Power BI, Power Automate, and generative AI tools).
  
• Comfortable delivering ad-hoc, over-the-shoulder user support through Microsoft Teams.
  
• Able to complete the Government onboarding package (OF-306, FD-258 fingerprints, e-QIP/SF-86, DISS profile, SAAR-N) and in-process with the Command Security Manager and ISSM before beginning work.
  
• Able to complete required training, initially and annually: Level I Antiterrorism Awareness, OPSEC Awareness, DoD Cyber Awareness, and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) training.
  
• Able to work onsite at DHHQ in Falls Church, VA approximately 20% of the time and support limited CONUS travel to Navy Medicine commands (San Antonio, TX; San Diego, CA; Portsmouth, VA).
