Functional Lead - Acquire-to-Retire (A2R) / Enterprise Asset Management (PMW220) Bowhead is seeking a Senior
SAP S/4HANA
Functional Lead - Acquire-to-Retire (A2R) / Enterprise Asset Management to provide consultative support to the Navy ERP Program Office in Washington, D.C.. The selected candidate will serve as the Government's senior functional advisor for the Acquire-to-Retire workstream supporting ERP+ modernization and implementation of
SAP S/4HANA.
This position can be remote. This is a senior advisory role—not a configuration or transactional support position. The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of functional architecture, asset and property management, financial integration, enterprise integration, governance, and business transformation while advising Government leadership throughout the ERP+ modernization lifecycle. As ERP+ transitions from requirements definition and Fit-to-Standard into System Integrator (SI)-led configuration and implementation, this position will increasingly perform Government-side solution oversight and Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V). The selected candidate will review proposed configurations, functional designs, process flows, supporting evidence, integrations, and implementation deliverables to ensure alignment with Government-approved requirements, SAP leading practices, enterprise architecture, auditability, and long-term sustainment. The A2R functional role requires deep, proven integration expertise in Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Project Systems (PS), and Controlling (CO) as they drive asset acquisition, capital project settlement, and cost accountability across the asset lifecycle. Responsibilities Provide strategic functional leadership throughout the ERP+ modernization lifecycle for the Acquire-to-Retire workstream. Lead and support A2R Fit-to-Standard, Fit/Gap, requirements refinement, configuration validation, and solution design activities. Support decomposition of L2, L3, and L4 business capabilities into implementable
SAP S/4HANA
solution concepts. Advise Navy stakeholders on end-to-end asset lifecycle processes including asset acquisition and capitalization, asset master data, asset classes, equipment and functional locations, maintenance, work management, asset transfers, retirement, disposal, and financial settlement. Provide functional expertise supporting General Equipment, Enterprise Asset Management, Asset Accounting, Government Property, Real Property, Internal Use Software, lease management, and asset accountability requirements. Evaluate integration between A2R and Financial Accounting, General Ledger, Funds Management, Project Systems, Procure-to-Pay, Controlling, Plan-to-Stock, master data, reporting, analytics, and external Navy and DoD systems. Assess how P2P, PS, and CO drive asset capitalization and cost flow, including asset-assigned purchase orders, WBS and investment order settlement to Assets Under Construction (AuC) and final assets, and depreciation and maintenance cost postings to cost centers. Evaluate asset and property-accountability requirements involving APSR and related Navy/DoD systems and processes, including the relationship between physical asset accountability and financial asset records. Support asset maintenance processes including equipment and functional locations, notifications, maintenance/work orders, task lists, maintenance planning, spare parts, reservations, goods issue/receipt, cost collection, and work-order settlement. Support Navy requirements associated with asset creation, capitalization, transfers, depreciation, retirement, disposal/disposition, and related financial impacts. Support requirements and solution analysis associated with lease management, Real Property, Internal Use Software, Government-Furnished Property, and applicable Federal and DoD accounting and asset-management requirements. Recommend solutions that maximize standard
SAP S/4HANA
capabilities, minimize unnecessary customization, and support Clean Core principles. Lead discussions with Navy stakeholders across multiple commands, functional communities, and ERP+ workstreams. Develop high-quality analytical products, Courses of Action (COAs), configuration assessments, governance artifacts, executive briefings, decision papers, and written recommendations that clearly articulate alternatives, impacts, risks, and recommended actions for Government decision-makers. Support release planning, testing strategy, production readiness, deployment planning, Government acceptance, and post-go-live stabilization. Ensure testing strategy includes end-to-end integration scenarios spanning P2P, PS, CO, and Asset Accounting. Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) /

capabilities and intended business outcomes. Evaluate whether configuration values and design decisions are adequately supported by system evidence and traceable to approved requirements. Identify configuration discrepancies, unsupported assumptions, functional gaps, design risks, incomplete requirements, integration issues, and unnecessary customization. Assess proposed solutions from an end-to-end A2R perspective, including impacts to physical and financial asset accountability, maintenance, procurement, inventory, financial postings, budget execution, master data, interfaces, reporting, cybersecurity, audit readiness, and sustainment. Evaluate whether proposed customizations are necessary or whether requirements can be satisfied through standard SAP capabilities. Assess SI recommendations and deliverables objectively and provide clear, evidence-based findings and recommendations to Government leadership. Identify configuration or design decisions that require resolution before build, testing, deployment, or Government acceptance proceeds.
