Job Description & Details
This is a heavy-hitting SAP FICO Test Manager and Lead role based in Nutley, NY, requiring over a decade of deep domain expertise to steer major implementations and rollouts. If you are comfortable owning end-to-end testing lifecycles and managing a complex web of onshore and offshore stakeholders, this 12-month contract offers a solid platform to showcase your enterprise chops.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
You will spend your days acting as the bridge between internal teams, client stakeholders, and offshore delivery models. Your core focus will be driving rigorous functional testing across AP, AR, GL, Point of Sale, Product Costing, Indirect/Direct Tax, and Treasury. You'll be untangling integration knots, managing test schedules, and ensuring that complex financial workflows don't break when hitting production.
The Core Tech Stack
You need absolute fluency in the SAP FICO module and a bulletproof understanding of the software testing life cycle. This isn't just about writing test cases; you need to understand the underlying financial and accounting principles behind Product Costing, Treasury, and Tax configurations to spot defects before the business does. Strong project management skills and past experience leading global delivery teams are absolute non-negotiables.
Interview Expectations
Expect the hiring team to test your crisis management capabilities by asking how you handle a critical defect discovered right before a major rollout. They want to hear a structured approach to risk assessment, stakeholder communication, and mitigation. You'll also likely field scenario-based questions regarding cross-module integrations between FICO and Point of Sale or Supply Chain to prove your functional depth.
Application Advice
Your resume needs to immediately signal leadership and deep SAP FICO module expertise rather than just generic QA metrics. Make sure to prominently feature keywords like "SAP FICO functional testing," "test manager," "onsite-offshore delivery," and specific sub-modules like AP, AR, GL, and Treasury. Highlight enterprise-level implementations and rollouts right at the top to clear the automated screening phase effortlessly.
