About the Role

We are currently supporting a leading German organization in hiring a SAP Developer / Integration Consultant to strengthen their internal HR Tech & Payroll integration capabilities. You will join a cross-functional team responsible for maintaining and developing complex interfaces between SAP and Workday ( Other third party ).

This is a permanent in-house position with a remote-first setup — ideal for candidates seeking long-term stability and the opportunity to work on high-impact internal systems, rather than external client projects.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain SAP-side integrations within a complex, heavily customised system landscape

Support existing HR and Payroll processes by ensuring reliable SAP <> Workday data flows

Collaborate closely with both SAP and Workday teams (structurally separate but working in tandem)

Gradually take ownership of key interfaces and serve as a backup to the current senior SAP integration expert

Contribute to reducing risk by increasing internal redundancy and improving continuity in critical system integrations

Must-Have Skills:

Strong SAP development experience (e.g., ABAP, custom module work)

Solid understanding of SAP integrations, especially in HR or Payroll environments

Comfortable navigating complex system architectures

Based in Germany (due to employment, tax, and team structure requirements)

Nice-to-Have Skills:

Prior exposure to Workday integrations is a strong plus

Basic German language skills (English-only candidates may face communication barriers in this team)

Ability and willingness to grow into a cross-system integration lead role over time

What You’ll Achieve in the First 6 Months

Get up to speed with the internal integration landscape across SAP HR, Workday, and proprietary systems

Learn the internal tools and configuration approaches used by the team

Begin contributing independently to SAP-side integration development

Serve as a reliable support for the existing senior SAP integration expert

Challenges & Environment

This is not a greenfield role. The integration environment is mature and complex, with deep customisations and dependencies. The ideal candidate will bring patience, curiosity, and strong problem-solving skills to navigate this structure and add long-term value.
