About The Position

We are seeking an experienced SAP SD and Vertex Functional Consultant to configure and support SAP Sales & Distribution (SD), Order-to-Cash (OTC), and Vertex O Series. The role requires direct, hands-on functional configuration of the Vertex tax engine, in addition to SAP–Vertex integration experience. This includes configuring tax rules, product taxability, jurisdictions, exemptions, tax determination, and resolving tax calculation issues across SAP and Vertex. The position is remote with some travel possible and is offered as a contract or contract-to-hire opportunity. The consultant will support SAP SD processes and integrations across SAP ECC and S/4HANA, perform Vertex configuration and administration, and work with corporate tax and finance teams to translate tax requirements into system configuration. Candidates whose Vertex experience is limited to integration, testing, or production monitoring without direct tax engine configuration do not meet the stated requirements.

Requirements

8 or more years of SAP functional consulting experience, with strong SAP SD expertise.
3–5 or more years of hands-on Vertex O Series functional configuration experience.
Ability to independently configure tax rules, product taxability, exemptions, and tax determination within Vertex.
Strong experience with SAP SD pricing, billing, tax procedures, and Order-to-Cash.
Experience configuring and supporting SAP–Vertex integrations.
Understanding of U.S. sales and use tax requirements.
Experience troubleshooting tax calculation issues within both SAP and Vertex.
Experience working directly with business tax and finance teams.
Strong functional design, testing, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
Direct hands-on Vertex O Series tax engine configuration experience is required; integration, testing, or production monitoring alone does not qualify.
