  • Simplifying and documenting system administration processes.
  • Developing governance and support documentation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate the current SAP Concur configuration and overall system health.
  • Recommend and implement configuration improvements.
  • Configure Travel, Expense, approval workflows, expense policies, audit rules, user roles, and system settings.

  • Develop training materials, administrator guides, and end-user documentation.
  • Deliver administrator and end-user training sessions.
  • Create a transition plan to internal support resources before project completion.

  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • SAP Concur certification preferred.
  • Experience integrating Concur with ERP and financial systems.
  • Experience developing operational support documentation and governance models.
  • Consulting experience leading short-term transformation engagements.
