What are the responsibilities and job description for the SAP Business Analyst (4981) position at ess?
The MFCT EBS-C Business Analyst serves as a critical bridge between Army mission and business processes and the future-state SAP S/4HANA core of the overall EBS-C solution, combining deep functional SAP knowledge with an understanding of how the U.S. Army and Federal agencies plan, execute, and account for their operations. This role blends the responsibilities of an SAP functional analyst and an Army business process subject matter expert, enabling the translation of operational needs into implementable, scalable solutions built in and upon SAP’s S/4 HANA. The MFCT EBS-C Business Analyst is not merely a requirements documenter, but a solution-shaping practitioner—someone who understands Army missions, speaks SAP fluently, and can operate effectively within an Agile delivery model to help retire legacy systems and enable a single, modernized S/4HANA platform.
The Business Analyst works closely with Business Owners, Product Owners, Epic Owners, functional SMEs, and technical teams to ensure that EBS-C capabilities accurately reflect Army requirements while adhering to SAP best practices, clean-core principles, and Federal compliance standards.
Key Responsibilities
Business Process & Functional Analysis
- Analyze and document Army financial or logistics business processes, identifying how they are enabled or facilitated by SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA.
- Serve as a functional SME for one or more domains (e.g., financial management, supply chain, logistics, maintenance, or asset management).
- Translate operational requirements into clear functional requirements (in the form of Epics and Features), and acceptance criteria suitable for Agile software delivery.
- Support business process standardization and ERP convergence objectives across legacy Army systems.
SAP Functional & Techno-Functional Support
- Assist with, and where required, configure SAP functionality to support Army business processes, following EBS-C and clean-core standards.
- Provide rapid, real-time functional guidance to developers as questions or blockers arise as part of solution development.
- Assist in troubleshooting functional issues and supporting solution validation through testing and defect resolution.
- Ensure SAP solutions align with auditability, internal controls, cybersecurity, and compliance requirements.
Agile Team Participation
- Operate as a core member of an Agile Team, supporting Product Owners and Epic Owners throughout the delivery lifecycle.
- Participate in Agile ceremonies such as PI Planning, backlog refinement, iteration planning, reviews, and Inspect & Adapt.
- Contribute to backlog refinement by decomposing features into actionable stories and enablers.
- Support incremental delivery of value aligned to PI Objectives and Army mission priorities.
Federal / DoD Context & Stakeholder Engagement
- Apply knowledge of the unique operating environment of U.S. Federal agencies, including governance, compliance, and mission-driven decision-making.
- Leverage experience with DoD or Army Enterprise Systems—such as GFEBS, LMP, GCSS-Army, and/or AESIP—to inform solution design and data migration strategies.
- Collaborate effectively with Government civilians, uniformed personnel, and contractors in a “one team, one fight” environment.
Required Skills & Experience
- Experience as an SAP functional analyst supporting financial or logistics processes in SAP ECC and/or SAP S/4HANA.
- Strong understanding of how SAP enables end-to-end business processes (e.g., record-to-report, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, maintenance, supply chain).
- Familiarity with Agile delivery concepts, terminology, and frameworks (e.g., SAFe, Scrum, Kanban).
- Experience working in or supporting U.S. Federal Government environments, preferably within the DoD or U.S. Army.
- Ability to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Desired Skills & Experience
- Prior experience with Army ERPs, including GFEBS, LMP, GCSS-Army, and/or AESIP.
- Hands-on techno-functional SAP experience, including configuration and light ABAP or enhancement work.
- Experience supporting large-scale ERP transformations or system convergence efforts.
- Familiarity with audit, financial controls, and compliance requirements in Federal ERP implementations.
