Job Summary

SAP VIM Functional Consultant (Staff Augmentation)

Role Overview: We are seeking an experienced SAP Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) Functional Consultant to provide staff augmentation support through the remainder of the year. Working under the strategic and operational direction of the Invoicing Tech Lead, this role will focus on stabilizing the SAP Invoicing support landscape by reducing operational backlog, improving support processes, and strengthening the capabilities of the AMS organization.

The consultant will serve as the subject matter expert for SAP VIM, driving execution across incident resolution, knowledge management, operations process standardization, and continuous improvement.
