Are you ready for your next adventure and shape how finance works in a global organization going through a major SAP transformation? This job is for you who are motivated by being part of a large-scale SAP S/4HANA implementation and who thrive in a role where you proactively help the business find the right solutions together. At Blue Water Shipping, we are in the midst of a major digital transformation programme (BlueCore) and are preparing for an SAP S/4HANA and TMS implementation, where SAP will play a central role in our financial setup and enable the business to operate efficiently, meet financial requirements, and scale globally

We are looking for a SAP Finance Solution Architect with a strong functional SAP Finance background and an architectural mindset. Whether you are a seasoned architect or a senior SAP FICO Consultant ready to take the next step, what matters most to us is your ability to think holistically, take ownership, and lead solution design in close collaboration with the business. You will join a global organisation with strong Danish roots, where professionalism, long-term relationships, and a pragmatic mindset shape the way we work every day.

About the role

As SAP Finance Solution Architect, you take architectural ownership of SAP Finance within our BlueCore programme, where we are implementing SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud based on fit-to-standard and clean-core principles.

A key part of the role is working closely with the Product Owner and other stakeholders to proactively identify opportunities, challenges, and solutions—translating business needs into scalable and future-proof SAP Finance solutions. You act as the architectural lead who ensures coherence across end-to-end finance processes while balancing business value, standardisation, and long-term sustainability.

Your responsibilities include:

• Leading and owning SAP Finance solution design across end-to-end finance processes
• Proactively collaborating with the Product Owner and business to identify and shape optimal solutions
• Translating business requirements into scalable, fit-to-standard SAP solutions

Knowledge is shared openly, decisions are made together, and different perspectives are seen as a strength in delivering robust and sustainable solutions.

We play to win

Your architectural decisions help ensure a successful implementation and upgrade‑safe solutions that support both daily operations and long‑term ambitions. By combining deep finance process knowledge with a clean-core mindset, you enable the organisation to realise the full value of SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.

Your background
