For a large Belgian organization, we are looking for an SAP Platform Expert to strengthen and standardize SAP authorization management across a multi-system SAP landscape. The goal is to establish a consistent, audit-compliant authorization framework, minimize the use of elevated or exceptional privileges, and ensure Emergency User Procedures (EUP) are applied only where strictly necessary.

Responsibilities

• Conduct an AS-IS analysis of authorization usage, reviewing when and why elevated authorizations or EUP accounts are currently used.
• Identify process gaps: determine which activities can run on standard dialog authorizations and where EUP usage is justified.
• Perform gap analyses on the authorization concept (missing roles, authorization objects, or process steps).
• Contribute to the design, documentation, and rollout of a unified, secure, and audit-ready authorization process, including a strengthened EUP.
• Optimize authorization and EUP usage, with a focus on:
  • Reducing elevated or exceptional authorizations to a minimum.
  • Eliminating broad authorizations (e.g., SAP_ALL / SAP_NEW) where feasible, documenting justification where unavoidable.
  • Increasing the security, traceability, and governance of EUP processes.

Requirements

• Deep technical understanding of SAP authorization processes and EUP.
• Strong knowledge of an established authorization concept/tooling for SAP.
• Experience with SAP user statistics and usage analysis.
• Proficiency in ABAP authorization concepts across S/4HANA, BW/4HANA, SRM, CRM, and BTP.
• Solid documentation skills and strong, collaborative communication.
• Experience working with Jira.
• Languages: English, plus one of Dutch, French, or German.

Practical details

• Work regime: full-time
• Location: Brussels
• Onsite: 2 days/week on site by default
• Contract: freelance
