Databricks: SAP Functional SME — Bengaluru, India

About Databricks

Databricks develops a platform for data, analytics and AI. Its employer material describes bringing related capabilities together so organisations can build and scale applications, analytics and agents using their information. The advertised platform portfolio includes data-engineering, lakehouse, governance and AI-related products. Its business connects the infrastructure used to manage data with the tools used to derive insights or create applications, rather than treating those activities as entirely separate technology projects.

The position and its setting

Databricks lists SAP Functional SME in Bengaluru, India, under reference 8688851002. The details below separate the work described by the employer from essential conditions, preferred experience and practical preparation advice.

• Department: Integration, Data, Engineering and Applications
• Employer listing date: 26 August 2026

Responsibilities and work described

• Own Functional Design: Lead end-to-end process discovery and AS-IS/TO-BE design for major finance processes (Record-to-Report, Source-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash), define S/4HANA solution scope, and design to standard, clean-core capabilities wherever possible
• Configure S/4HANA: Own functional configuration, business rules, and master-data strategy for your domain, and partner with developers on extensions, APIs, and orchestration where standard functionality falls short
• Drive Process Intelligence: Use process mining and business process intelligence (leveraging SAP Process Intelligence and related tools) to identify root causes, quantify opportunity, and prioritize improvements; translate those findings into concrete S/4HANA requirements
• Run Workshops and Validate Value: Facilitate stakeholder workshops to validate business value, define acceptance criteria, and lead user acceptance testing for both functional and AI features
• Measure Outcomes: Define KPIs and track ROI for process improvements—cycle time, touchless transaction rate, exception and manual-touch reduction, adoption—and build the business cases for prioritized automation and AI initiatives
• Enable Adoption: Coach and upskill process owners and functional teams on process intelligence, best practices, and AI adoption, and drive readiness and change management for what you ship

Essential requirements and candidate background

• Process Intelligence: Demonstrated experience leading process discovery, process mapping, and process mining using SAP Process Intelligence or equivalent BPI tools, and translating mining outputs into solution requirements
• Clean-Core Mindset: bias toward standard, clean-core S/4HANA design, with sound judgment about when a requirement genuinely warrants an extension versus a change in process
• AI & Agentic Automation: Practical experience applying Databricks AI and agentic capabilities to enterprise processes, with judgment on where AI can drive automation and decision support while maintaining appropriate governance, controls, auditability, and human oversight
• Integration Awareness: understanding of integration patterns (APIs/OData, IDoc, SAP Integration Suite / BTP) and the data requirements that feed process mining and AI models
• Governance Rigor: Working knowledge of SAP authorizations, SoD, SOX and audit requirements, and the ability to design processes and automation that satisfy them
• Stakeholder Leadership: workshop facilitation, stakeholder management, and change-management skills, and the ability to present executive-level ROI and translate technical capability into measurable business value
• Business-First Mindset: Pragmatic, outcome-driven approach to reducing process waste and risk, and comfort leading through ambiguity across complex business and IT landscapes

Preferred experience and additional strengths

• SAP S/4HANA Associate or Professional certification for a relevant module, and SAP Activate methodology experience
• Certification or training in SAP Process Intelligence, or experience with Celonis or other process mining vendors
• Hands-on experience delivering at least one AI-assisted process improvement in production
• Familiarity: the SAP AI and extension stack (BTP, AI Core, Joule) and a point of view on build-versus-adopt tradeoffs against a Databricks-native approach
• Experience working alongside data teams to make ERP data usable for analytics and AI on modern data platforms (such as Databricks), and prior work in a high-growth technology company where ERP had to scale quickly
