This is a world where innovation, technology, and deep expertise come together to take our company and customers from what’s now to what’s next. We make it happen through the power of acceleration.

Imagine the sheer breadth of talent it takes to bring a better tomorrow closer to today. We don’t expect you to ‘fit’ every requirement – your life experience, character, perspective, and passion for achieving great things in the world are equally as important to us.

The team

You will join Hitachi Vantara’s SAP Global Services practice, a top-tier SAP partner known for delivering complex SAP S/4HANA transformations for enterprise clients. Our team works at the intersection of finance, technology, and business transformation, partnering closely with client leadership to design and deploy SAP Best Practice solutions.
