SAC Planning Consultant

NTT DATA Business Solutions; Greater London; Remote; GBP 100,000 - 125,000

Job description

To support and consult on our growing pipeline of SAC planning customers.

As an SAC Consultant, you will be responsible for working day-to-day within the Analytics & EPM practice, delivering consulting and support services to a wide range of domestic and global clients.

This is a very customer-focused, hands-on role where the consultant will be expected to lead on customer issues and developments, as well as collaborate with other functional and technical consultants across the SAP product portfolio. The consultant will primarily support the UK Managed Services Team; however, NTT operates a line of business model, so this is a hybrid opportunity blending support with project delivery.

The ideal candidate will be able to encourage effective teamwork by seeking input from team members and will support team members (technically and operationally) in achieving continuous improvement by encouraging ideas and recommendations for procedural, operational, and system improvements.

This role will report to the UK Analytics and EPM Team Manager for day-to-day activity. The role is 100% home-based with some potential for limited travel to customer sites.

If you are passionate about supporting SAC customers while also having the opportunity to work on consulting projects, we would love to hear from you. Join us in making a difference in the world of analytics and enterprise performance management!
