Job description
The Senior SAP S/4HANA Finance Tester at Cognizant in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is responsible for planning, designing, and executing comprehensive testing activities for SAP S/4HANA Finance (FICO) solutions as part of enterprise digital transformation programs. Cognizant is a global professional services company focused on transforming clientsâ business, operating, and technology models for the digital era through an industry-based consultative approach. In this role, the tester ensures business readiness and solution quality by validating end-to-end finance processes, system integrations, and financial data accuracy within SAP S/4HANA environments. The position focuses on testing SAP S/4HANA Finance modules including FI and CO and their integrations, while validating financial processes such as General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), Asset Accounting, Costing, and Financial Close. The role includes designing and executing standalone, integration, and end-to-end finance test scenarios to confirm system functionality, process integrity, and compliance with business requirements. A critical component of the role involves performing data validation and reconciliation activities following data migration from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA to ensure the accuracy and completeness of financial data in the new system environment. The Senior SAP S/4HANA Finance Tester collaborates closely with SAP functional consultants, developers, and business stakeholders to identify defects early in the development lifecycle, manage testing risks, and ensure quality delivery of the S/4HANA transformation programme. Responsibilities also include managing the full defect lifecycle including defect logging, retesting, tracking, and closure, while supporting test planning activities, testing progress reporting, and quality gate sign-offs required for release approval. The role requires active participation in client interviews and collaboration with project stakeholders to ensure alignment between testing outcomes and business expectations. Airline industry experience is considered advantageous for this role, given the sector-specific financial and operational processes that may integrate with SAP S/4HANA Finance environments.
