SAP functional subject-matter expert at Databricks Bengaluru, owning the S/4HANA functional blueprint for the company's core finance processes.

This full-time Bengaluru role was posted on 25 August 2026. The listing describes SAP as the foundation for Databricks' core finance processes - Record-to-Report, Source-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash - with the SME owning the functional blueprint: leading process discovery and AS-IS/TO-BE design, configuring S/4HANA, and partnering with developers on extensions where standard functionality falls short. Requirements include 6+ years of SAP functional consulting with hands-on delivery across at least one full S/4HANA lifecycle, process mining experience, a clean-core design mindset, and practical experience applying AI and agentic automation to enterprise processes.

The role in plain terms

This is an internal IT role with an unusual twist: you run SAP for a company whose product is a data and AI platform, so the listing expects you to apply Databricks' own AI capabilities to finance automation - eating the company's own cooking. The clean-core mindset requirement (standard design over customization) is a specific SAP philosophy, and the listing tests judgment about when an extension is genuinely warranted.

The team and the work

Per the listing, the IT organization operates as a product-led engineering team building AI-powered internal platforms, with finance as the domain for this role.

Clean-Core Mindset: Strong 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 strong judgment on where AI can drive automation and...
Integration Awareness: Solid 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: Excellent 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.

Who this role suits

SAP functional consultants with 6+ years, a full S/4HANA lifecycle, and finance-domain depth who want an internal product-led environment. Not for SAP technical developers without functional blueprint ownership, or consultants without S/4HANA exposure.

Practical notes

For SAP SME roles, expect process-design questions (walk through an AS-IS to TO-BE for Record-to-Report) and clean-core trade-off scenarios. Familiarity with process mining outputs is a stated requirement, so have examples.

Working at Databricks

Work at Databricks centres on large-scale data systems: query engines, orchestration, observability and the infrastructure that runs customer data and AI workloads.
