SAP Manager - Record to Report (R2R)

Job ID: [[id]]
CRH's Americas Materials division is the leading integrated supplier of aggregates, asphalt, ready mixed concrete and paving and construction services in North America. Our operations span North America with over 29,000 employees at close to 1,660 locations in 45 US States and 2 Canadian provinces.
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced SAP Manager to own the Record to Report (R2R) process landscape, spanning Finance (FI)/Banking, Controlling (CO), and Financial Reporting. The ideal candidate is a strong business partner who can align technology initiatives with strategic finance objectives and drive digital transformation, backed by deep hands-on expertise across accounts payable, month-end close, asset accounting, banking and cash application, product costing, inventory valuation, Material Ledger, CO-PA, tax, and FP&A/corporate and management reporting. The candidate must also bring proven, hands-on experience integrating SAP FI/CO with upstream and downstream modules (MM, SD) and with external banking, tax, and treasury systems.
This is a business-facing role: the successful candidate will spend significant time directly with Finance, Controllership, Tax, and FP&A leaders, understanding how they work today and co-designing how they should work tomorrow. This person will lead discovery and design workshops, map current- and future-state processes, and drive continuous improvement across the record-to-report value chain. The role also leads a team of SAP R2R functional resources, driving system enhancements, hands-on configuration, and integration delivery, and ensuring an accurate, well-controlled, and continuously improving financial close and reporting process across the organization.
Key Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Functions)
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily.
Business Process Design & Improvement
Act as the primary business-facing process owner for R2R — spending regular, recurring time with business leads in Finance, Controllership, Tax, and FP&A.
Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand gaps and pain points, translate business needs into functional requirements, and design scalable, efficient R2R processes.
Define and track KPIs and process performance metrics jointly with business owners, and report progress back to them on a regular cadence.
Establish and run a standing business process governance forum (e.g., monthly R2R process review) to surface emerging issues, prioritize backlog items, and keep process design decisions transparent and business-led.
Driving Design Workshops & Business Engagement
Own end-to-end workshop planning and delivery: define objectives, identify the right stakeholders, build the agenda, and drive the session to concrete, documented decisions and next steps.
Plan and facilitate requirements-gathering and process design workshops with cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, Controllership, Tax, and FP&A — driving discussions toward decisions rather than open-ended brainstorming.
Run fit-gap and solution design sessions with business and technical teams, presenting options, trade-offs, and recommendations, and driving alignment on process decisions and configuration approaches.
Use visual facilitation techniques (process maps, whiteboarding, journey maps) in live sessions to help business stakeholders see and agree on the proposed design in real time.
Manage constructive conflict in workshops — surfacing and resolving competing priorities between functions (e.g., Finance, Controllership, Tax, and FP&A) to reach a workable, business-endorsed outcome.
Finance (FI)/Banking
Own the end-to-end SAP FI process, including accounts payable, month-end close activities, asset accounting, and banking.
Oversee leasing accounting and administration, including integration with Costar for lease data management.
Drive banking process design, including bank statement processing, payment processing, and reconciliation.
Own the cash application process, ensuring incoming payments are matched and posted accurately and timely, and driving automation to reduce unapplied cash and manual effort.
Partner with Treasury and Accounting to streamline payables, banking, and cash application, reducing exceptions and improving DPO/DSO-related metrics.
Controlling (CO)
Own the SAP Controlling process landscape, including Product Costing, Inventory Evaluation, Material Ledger, and Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
Provide strong hands-on functional expertise in standard costing, actual costing, and inventory valuation to ensure accurate product cost and margin reporting.
Partner with Tax to ensure Controlling processes and postings support accurate direct and indirect tax reporting and compliance.
Ensure accurate integration between CO, FI, MM, and SD so that cost, inventory, and profitability data remain consistent end-to-end.
Financial Reporting & FP&A
Own the SAP-enabled Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) process, including corporate reporting and management reporting.
Partner with FP&A and Corporate Accounting on budgeting and forecasting processes, ensuring SAP data and reporting tools support accurate, timely planning cycles.
Drive standardization and continuous improvement of corporate and management reporting packages, including consolidation and variance analysis.
Ensure financial reporting outputs comply with corporate accounting policy, SOX, and audit requirements.
