Head of SAP (all genders)
About this role
Company Description
ABOUT YOU is one of Europe’s fastest growing e-commerce companies. Based in Hamburg and Berlin, we operate at the intersection of fashion and technology. Our mission is to rethink online shopping and make it personal and seamless. This takes more than good ideas. It takes people who take initiative and challenge the status quo. We believe in flat hierarchies, direct communication, and pragmatic decisions. No long approval chains. Just ownership, trust, and clear responsibility. We work hard, but we also believe in enjoying the ride together - over team lunches, afterwork drinks, company events, or a quick coffee in between meetings. If this sounds like you, ABOUT YOU could be the right place to bring in your perspective.
Job Description
- Synchronizing the functional workstreams (O2C, R2R, P2P), MDM, and reporting within an overarching SAP strategy to support enterprise-wide KPIs
- Acting as the central interface between Executive Leadership and business functions, ensuring investments are strategically directed toward high-impact SAP initiatives
- Standardizing a clear “Shared Responsibilities” framework across all teams, including sprint management, UAT excellence, and developer coordination
- Leading and developing functional expert teams with a strong focus on ownership, accountability, and high-performance execution across the SAP organization
- Ensuring the stability, compliance, and future readiness of the SAP landscape, including preparation for upgrades, migrations, and SAP Clean Core initiatives
Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in the SAP environment, particularly in the “Run” and “Optimize” phases of the software lifecycle
- Deep end-to-end understanding of the integration of O2C, R2R, and P2P, with the ability to resolve friction points at module interfaces
- Proven experience operating a standard-focused SAP environment while managing enhancements and patches without compromising scalability
- Experience managing multiple domain roadmaps and balancing maintenance, compliance, and business innovation
- Strategic sparring partner for Finance & Accounting, with the ability to translate complex accounting requirements into technical SAP solutions
- Experience with agile or DevOps frameworks, with a focus on continuous product optimization rather than project-driven individual solutions
- Successful leadership of Functional Product Managers, MDM experts, and Data Analysts with the goal of establishing a reliable “Single Source of Truth”
