Senior Business Systems Analyst- SAP Finance

Job Requisition ID # 25WD91576

Position Overview Autodesk is seeking an experienced Senior Business Systems Analyst to support Finance transformation initiatives, with a strong emphasis on deep knowledge of enterprise application systems and hands-on end-to-end (E2E) business User Acceptance Testing (UAT). This role is focused on understanding how Finance applications work across the landscape—ERP, upstream/downstream integrations, data flows, and reporting—and partnering with Finance stakeholders and Engineering teams to validate that releases perform correctly in real business scenarios.

The position plays a key contributing role in Finance UAT across Autodesk’s SAP Finance landscape, helping ensure system changes meet business outcomes, internal controls, and compliance standards. While this role does not own the overall UAT program, it is critical to planning test coverage, executing E2E scenarios, identifying defects early, and driving resolution through clear evidence and collaboration.

Key Responsibilities Application Systems Expertise & Release Readiness

• Develop strong functional and technical understanding of Autodesk’s Finance application ecosystem, primarily SAP Finance, including key integrations, master data dependencies, and reporting outputs
• Perform impact analysis for changes across E2E Finance flows (e.g., Order-to-Cash, Record-to-Report, Revenue, Billing, Payments, Intercompany), identifying affected systems, interfaces, controls, and downstream consumers
• Partner with Engineering, Product, and Finance stakeholders to understand intended changes and translate them into test coverage and release readiness criteria (entry/exit)
• Support environment and data readiness for UAT (test data setup, prerequisite configuration, reference data, and access), coordinating with relevant teams
• Review release notes, design artifacts, and technical details (integration mappings, interface specs, data transformations) to anticipate testing risks and edge cases

End-to-End Business UAT (Primary Focus)

• Design, build, and execute E2E UAT scenarios that reflect real business operations and validate cross-system behavior—from upstream transaction creation through ERP postings and downstream reporting/analytics
• Create and maintain UAT test cases, scripts, and evidence that are auditable and traceable to business outcomes and control requirements
• Validate accounting impact and system behavior including postings, document flow, tax/FX, revenue recognition outcomes, period-end processing, and management reporting outputs as applicable
• Execute both positive and negative tests, including boundary conditions and integration failure scenarios (e.g., interface errors, timing issues, data quality breaks)
• Log defects with clear reproduction steps, screenshots/logs, expected vs. actual results, and business impact; partner with Engineering teams through triage, fix validation, and regression testing
• Participate in select PST-hour meetings during testing cycles (handoffs, triage, status) to improve collaboration and reduce cycle time
• Contribute to continuous improvement of Finance UAT processes, tooling, templates, and test repositories

Quality, Controls & Compliance

• Ensure testing aligns with internal control expectations (including SOX-relevant processes), documenting evidence and outcomes required for audit readiness
• Identify and communicate risks related to testing gaps, control impacts, or deferred scope; recommend mitigation and retest plans
• Support sign-off readiness by summarizing test results, open defects, residual risk, and recommended go/no-go considerations

Stakeholder Partnership (Focused on Testing and System Outcomes)

• Work closely with Finance stakeholders to validate business scenarios, confirm expected outcomes, and ensure UAT reflects operational reality
• Coordinate with US-based testing leads, Project Managers, and global teams on schedules, handoffs, and execution status
• Explain system behavior and testing findings in clear business terms, helping stakeholders make informed release decisions

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field
• Professional certifications such as CA, CPA, CMA, or relevant QA/testing certifications (e.g., ISTQB) are preferred
• 8–10+ years of experience working with enterprise application systems supporting Finance processes (ERP and integrated systems), with significant hands-on involvement in business UAT
• Strong hands-on experience with SAP Finance modules and processes; experience with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) and Management Reporting (MR) is highly desirable
• Proven experience designing and executing E2E test scenarios across multiple systems and integrations (APIs, middleware, batch interfaces), including defect triage and regression testing
• Should have experience managing UAT'S pertaining to major system upgrades, roadmap enhancements and new application/entity rollouts
• Experience working in global, cross-functional teams and collaborating effectively across time zones
• Strong understanding of Finance processes and accounting concepts, with the ability to validate ERP postings and reporting outputs
