The Workflow Specialist is responsible for leading workflow architecture, scenario configuration, and technical troubleshooting.
Key responsibilities:

- Maintain legacy SAP Business Workflows (WF-BATCH) where necessary, ensuring a seamless co-existence and migration path to modern Flexible Workflow
- Troubleshoot Workflow Errors, utilizing technical tools such as SWI1, SWIA, and the Workflow Log to resolve bottlenecks and stuck work items
- Ensure Audit Traceability, designing workflows that capture a complete "Chain of Command" and history of approvals to meet GAO and IG audit requirements
- Lead "Fit-to-Standard" Workshops, advising functional teams on how to utilize standard SAP workflow content to minimize custom development and technical debt
- Monitor Workflow Performance, using the Workflow Dashboard to identify process bottlenecks and recommend optimizations to reduce cycle times
Here’s what you need:
- 4+ years of experience in SAP Workflow, with a deep understanding of both S/4HANA Flexible Workflow and classic SAP Business Workflow
- Experience in BRFplus, specifically for creating decision tables and expressions that drive workflow routing
