Business Analyst with SAP Operations Experience*. Must have the
non0financial module experience SD, MM, LE, etc.*
The role of the Business Analyst can be divided into three areas as
specified below. Each business analyst on the team should be expected to be
able to satisfy all three areas of expertise, although the proportion of

the needs of the SAP program. The flexibility to be able to operate under
any of these areas is key, as Program needs will change during the term of
the position.
SAP Template Changes & Enhancements
The Business Analysis (BA) team for SAP is divided into areas represented by
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), allowing an individual to concentrate
business analysis efforts on a portion of the project rather than the entire
scope (Master Data, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable,
Fixed Assets, Job Management, Timesheets, Purchasing, Billing, Studio,
Revenue Recognition). SMEs serve as a liaison between the companys
divisions and the SAP development team with responsibilities for:
Contribution to development of the overall SAP business
template by gathering and analyzing business requirements by:
o Creating use cases, requirements, process flows to be
leveraged by development teams and deployment teams
o Participate in the creation of the functional spec documents
in conjunction with the development team
o Negotiating requirement trade-offs that keep project schedule
on track while still meeting business objectives
o Help determining highest priority requirements for the team
and manage change to those priorities/requirements
o Taking a leading role in resolution of escalated support
tickets, and advocate for enhancements in subsequent product releases as
necessary

template to meet global and local legal/business requirements for
Sarbanes-Oxley by establishing, documenting, & communicating common/uniform
business and system procedures
Working with the SAP Development Team to provide new or
custom technical solutions and assisting with testing new or changed items.
Documenting business scenarios and creating scripts to test recommended use
of SAP transactions in relation to accounting and capturing costs for
companies group activities in the area of responsibilities
Testing enhancements either through scheduled integration
testing (via standard scripts) or on an ad-hoc basis for break-fix items,
ensuring an adequate level of regression testing is performed
Participating in the deployment of the SAP enhancements and
break-fix items to existing agencies using the system, including providing
hands-on training where required
To be effective in their assigned area, or in supporting another area, the
BAs must understand the business process around the area they are
enhancing. This business process may relate to both advertising and
non-advertising marketing businesses within the organization, and the BA
must be able to consider the impact of the change on all areas of the
business. BAs must be able to analyze many sets of requirements and
consolidate to one process, or determine workarounds for gaps between the
requirement and the solution. BAs need the ability to grasp how a technical
requirement will affect the processes within their area, as well as
affecting points of integration.
This person should be able to work with the SAP development team to
understand a proposed system solution and determine if it meets the needs of
the business requirement efficiently. The SME position requires a versatile
person that can be both technical and process oriented to be able to work
with the technical team as well as explaining technical solutions to a
non-technical audience.
Template Deployment
The Business Analyst will be expected to participate in the deployment of
the SAP template to the companys other divisions. The deployment projects
are managed by the deployment team, but the BA team plays a critical role

implementation is complete, as well as providing ongoing support for the
existing client base as required.

This position has a primary impact on template releases. These must be on
time, must meet user expectations, and must have minimal bugs.
Will interface with all members of the SAP Team and many levels of employees
across the company.

preferably with experience in advertising, related marketing or other
professional services industries. SAP experience is preferable, but only
