SAP Analyst FICO

• Location: Broomfield, Colorado
• Type: Contract
• Job #3491

The Doyle Group is a proven partner for Placement and Consulting services, headquartered in Denver, CO. Our core mission is to forge genuine partnerships with our clients who seek strategic talent solutions and to assist highly skilled candidates looking for their next career opportunity. With over 30 years of industry experience, our consultative approach allows us to provide a higher level of guidance and insight, empowering our clients to secure top IT talent that fits seamlessly into their team and culture. We look forward to collaborating to help you achieve your career goals.
 

This person will own the full lifecycle of FI/CO work: intaking scope directly from Finance and Accounting stakeholders, driving requirements, doing hands-on configuration themselves, and leading the go-live steps for enhancements and projects. Today, this role also carries ownership of the data quality and data-management work that touches FI/CO — the company plans to eventually split that into a dedicated Data Specialist function (and a separate QA function) as the SAP program matures, but for now those responsibilities sit here, which gives this role real breadth and a front-row seat as the team scales.

This is an individual contributor role reporting to the SAP Team Manager, with no direct reports.
This is a contract engagement (approximately 6 months, with possible extension). Given the contract structure, the client is open to fully remote candidates; candidates based in or willing to work hybrid from Broomfield, CO or Brooklyn Park, MN are preffered.

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship.
