Role summary

ADP is seeking a Senior SAP HCM Migration Consultant with hands-on L3 configuration and ABAP debugging skills to support a large-scale GlobalView to RISE / S/4HANA SAP Payroll transformation. The role requires independent issue diagnosis, root cause analysis, and configuration fixes within SAP HCM modules, including Payroll, Personnel Admin, and Organizational Management. Candidates must be able to differentiate between configuration and ABAP defects, read and debug ABAP code, and execute structured migration tasks. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on L3 production support and migration execution.

ADP ESI Migration Factory is hiring a Senior SAP Migration Consultant.

ADP is seeking a hands-on SAP HCM Consultant to support the GlobalView to RISE / S/4HANA migration program, one of the largest SAP Payroll transformations globally.

This role operates in a true Tier 3 / L3 capacity, requiring deep expertise in SAP HCM configuration, payroll, and production issue resolution.

This is not a coordination or ticket-routing role. You will be expected to:

  • Diagnose issues independently
  • Implement configuration fixes
  • Understand system behavior at a technical-functional level

If you cannot differentiate between configuration issues and ABAP defects, or lack hands-on SPRO experience, this role is not a fit.

What You’ll Do

L3 Production Support (Core Focus)

  • Troubleshoot complex SAP HCM issues without escalation
  • Perform root cause analysis across:

o Payroll (when applicable)

o Personnel Admin

o Organizational Management

  • Analyze logs, tables, and system behavior to identify true system defects vs config gaps

Hands-On Configuration

  • Execute configuration in SPRO
  • Maintain and adjust:

o Infotypes

o Enterprise structure

o Payroll elements (if applicable)

  • Validate fixes through end-to-end system testing

Migration Execution (Factory Model)

  • Execute structured, repeatable migration tasks with precision
  • Perform:

o Data validation

o System checks

o Pre/post migration activities

  • Identify inconsistencies across environments and resolve them

ABAP Debugging & Technical Awareness (Required)

  • Ability to read and debug ABAP code to support issue analysis
  • Use debugging tools to:

o Trace payroll and HCM processing logic

o Identify whether issues are configuration or code-related

  • Partner with ABAP teams but do not rely on them for initial diagnosis

This is not a developer role, but candidates MUST be able to debug and analyze code.

Technical Analysis

  • Read/debug enough ABAP to:

o Identify whether issue is config vs code

  • Analyze:

o SAP Notes

o Support packs

o Enhancements

Collaboration

  • Work closely with:

o Functional teams

o Technical/ABAP teams

o Migration factory team

  • Communicate clearly with both technical and business stakeholders

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

  • 5+ years hands-on SAP HCM configuration
  • Proven experience in L3/Tier 3 support
  • Strong ability to:

o Perform root cause analysis independently

o Work in SPRO/customizing

  • Experience with:

o Payroll or adjacent HCM modules

  • Ability to:

o Differentiate config vs code issues

  • Ability to read and debug ABAP code to support issue analysis

Disqualifiers

  • L1/L2 support only (ticket triage, no configuration)
  • Cannot explain how issues are debugged step-by-step
  • No SPRO/config experience
  • Cannot distinguish ABAP vs functional issues
  • Resume-driven knowledge without real examples
  • No experience with ABAP debugging or code analysis
  • Cannot explain how to determine config vs ABAP issue
  • Over-reliance on technical teams

What We Will Test

  • SAP debugging approach
  • Configuration depth (SPRO)
  • Migration logic and validation thinking
  • Ownership of issue resolution
