We are seeking a specialist SAP Application Security Consultant to embed within a UK Government SAP S/4HANA programme and deliver a robust, compliant, and well-governed security model. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of SAP security design and implementation, including role concept design, authorisation object configuration, Segregation of Duties (SoD) analysis, and remediation across both SAP GUI and SAP Fiori environments.
A strong understanding of Fiori authorisation concepts - including business catalogues, business groups, and Fiori Launchpad security - is essential, as is experience integrating SAP security with Identity Access Management (IAM) solutions and Single Sign-On (SSO) frameworks. You will work to security policies and support audit, compliance, and penetration testing activities throughout the programme. The successful candidate will produce and maintain comprehensive security documentation including role matrices, SoD rulesets, and access control policies, ensuring alignment with Government Security Classifications and Cabinet Office guidance.
You will provide expert advice to functional and technical workstreams on security-by-design principles and act as the key point of escalation for security incidents and access queries. Experience with GRC tools (SAP GRC Access Control preferred) and a working knowledge of NCSC guidance for enterprise security will be advantageous. Due to the sensitive nature of this UK Government programme, SC clearance is required; active SC clearance is highly desirable, with eligibility for SC being the absolute minimum. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK and consent to pre-employment security vetting.
