The work

We are seeking a SAP Plan to Perform Functional Manager with a specialization in Project System (PS) and Sales and Distribution (SD) to serve as a functional architect for our federal clients. This role is focused on designing and implementing integrated, end-to-end solutions for managing project-driven revenue and costs. You will be the primary subject matter expert for the entire Order-to-Cash (O2C) cycle in a project-based environment, translating complex federal requirements for sales, execution, and project accounting into an elegant and effective SAP system design. Your mission is to build a world-class framework that seamlessly links sales orders to project structures, enabling accurate cost accumulation, milestone-based billing, and real-time profitability analysis.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the design of the complete ""project-to-profit"" landscape

• Architect the integration between Sales and Distribution (SD) and Project System (PS), defining how sales orders drive project creation, revenue planning, and cost management

• Design robust project structures (WBS, Networks) and billing plans that align with federal contract requirements

• Perform expert-level configuration across the core integrated modules

• Configure sales document types, item categories for project-based sales, and billing plans (e.g., Milestone Billing, Resource-Related Billing) to automate customer invoicing based on project progress

• Ensure proper cost and revenue flow to projects and subsequent settlement to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) and the General Ledger (FI)

• Act as the steward for the critical integration points between SD, PS, and FI/CO

• Ensure flawless data flow from sales order creation to project revenue plans, posting of actual costs to projects, and accurate revenue recognition and project settlement based on Results Analysis

• Adapt and apply PS/SD functionalities to meet the unique demands of federal project accounting and contract fulfillment

• Ensure the solution integrates with Public Sector Management (PSM-FM) for budget availability checks on project-related expenditures and supports the U.S. Standard General Ledger (USSGL)

• Lead requirements gathering workshops with business stakeholders to define and document all processes related to project-based sales, resource management, milestone tracking, customer billing, and project profitability reporting

• Develop and execute rigorous end-to-end test plans covering the entire process from sales order to project closure

• Manage PS/SD-specific data migration, support cutover activities, and provide post-go-live hypercare to ensure the stability and accuracy of the integrated solution

Here’s what you need

• 7+ years of hands-on experience in SAP Project System (PS) and SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) within an SAP environment

• Understanding of the integration points between sales orders, project structures, and project accounting

• Proven project experience configuring both PS and SD

• Specific expertise in Results Analysis (RA), Milestone Billing, Resource-Related Billing, and the settlement of projects is essential
