Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Method360 Talent Acquisition is seeking a highly skilled SAP Joule AI Agent Developer to design, build, and deliver a production-grade conversational FP&A agent on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). The role involves leading requirements workshops with Finance stakeholders, translating business processes into agent behaviors, and managing the technical implementation of the conversational agent.
Responsibilities
- Lead structured requirements workshops with FP&A, Controlling, and Finance leadership to identify high-value conversational use cases (variance analysis, period-close reporting, forecast commentary, KPI drill-down, etc.)
- Translate business language and financial workflows into structured agent intent taxonomies, skill trigger definitions, and system instruction prompts
- Document use cases, acceptance criteria, and test scenarios in collaboration with business users
- Act as the primary liaison between Finance stakeholders and the technical BTP/SAP team throughout discovery, build, and UAT
- Facilitate UAT sessions and gather iterative feedback to refine agent behaviors and response quality
- Validate and configure BTP subaccount entitlements: SAP Build Process Automation (Joule Studio), SAP AI Core (Gen AI Hub), SAP Build Work Zone, and Cloud Identity Services
- Set up SAP Cloud Connector for on-premises BPC (Standard 10.x on NetWeaver) or configure BTP destinations for BPC Embedded (S/4HANA)
- Provision and manage OAuth 2.0 clients, scoped roles, and authentication flows for Datasphere and BPC API access
- Enable and configure SAP Datasphere Analytic Models and Views for OData consumption (actuals from S/4HANA, plan data from BPC via Data Integration)
- Configure 'Expose for Consumption' on Datasphere views and manage space-level access roles (Data Warehouse Consumption, Space Files privileges)
- Build and register Action Projects in SAP Build Lobby for both Datasphere and BPC endpoints; expose atomic actions including GetActualsByPeriod, GetBudgetByVersion, GetVarianceAnalysis, GetForecastTrend, and GetCashFlowSummary
- Design the Datasphere semantic layer as the unified source for actuals + plan data, replicating BPC plan versions via replication flows to reduce dual-connection complexity
- Build Joule Skills in Joule Studio for each FP&A task: configure trigger intents, disable default Joule responses, define typed skill inputs (costCenter, fiscalPeriod, version) and outputs, wire Call Action steps, and build response cards
- Assemble the FP&A Joule Agent: author the agent description, add skills under Tools, and write agent system instructions that govern reasoning behavior (e.g., always compare actuals vs. latest forecast before commenting on variance; request clarification when period or entity is ambiguous)
- Configure predictive analytics capabilities via SAP-RPT-1 on Datasphere structured datasets for forward-looking FP&A queries
- Activate Private Environments in Control Tower, wire destinations, and manage the deploy-test-iterate cycle
- Design and execute structured test suites against prompts such as variance queries by cost center, BPC budget pulls, and rolling trend requests
- Document agent architecture, skill configurations, and system instructions for ongoing maintenance
- Train Finance power users on effective conversational prompting patterns and agent capabilities
- Monitor agent quality post-go-live and manage tuning iterations based on Finance feedback
Skills
- 5+ years of hands-on SAP experience with demonstrated depth in at least two of: SAP BTP, SAP Datasphere, SAP BPC (Standard or Embedded), or S/4HANA Finance
- Direct experience configuring SAP BTP services: Build Process Automation, AI Core, Build Work Zone, Cloud Connector, and BTP Destinations
- Proficiency with OData API design and consumption; experience exposing SAP Datasphere views and Analytic Models for external consumption
- Familiarity with SAP BPC data architecture: plan versions, entity hierarchies, EPM OData services, and RFC/BAPI patterns for on-prem BPC
- Working knowledge of OAuth 2.0, SAML/IDP configuration, and BTP Identity Services
- Hands-on experience with SAP Joule Studio (GA 2026): building Skills, assembling Agents, authoring system instructions, and configuring trigger intents
- Understanding of SAP Generative AI Hub model governance and SAP AI Core service configurations
- Experience with prompt engineering for structured business use cases; ability to design agent system instructions that constrain and guide LLM reasoning toward reliable FP&A outputs
- Demonstrated ability to run structured requirements workshops with non-technical Finance stakeholders — facilitating discovery, capturing use cases, and building consensus
- Strong business process acumen in FP&A: variance analysis, period-close cycles, budget vs. actuals reporting, forecast commentary, KPI frameworks
- Experience translating Finance workflows and business language into technical specifications (intent taxonomies, skill input/output schemas, test scenarios)
- Comfortable presenting to and partnering with Finance leadership (CFO, VP Finance, Controllers) as the technical SME
- Ability to facilitate UAT with business users: design test scripts, run sessions, capture and prioritize feedback, drive iteration
- Required — hands-on build experience in SAP Joule Studio (Skills & Agents)
- Required — subaccount setup, destinations in SAP BTP Configuration & Entitlements
- Required — consume and expose views in SAP Datasphere OData / Analytic Models
- Required — plan data architecture & APIs in SAP BPC (Standard or Embedded)
- Strong familiarity with S/4HANA Finance / Controlling
- Proficient in OAuth 2.0 / SAML / BTP Identity
- Working knowledge of SAP AI Core & Gen AI Hub
- Proficient in SAP Cloud Connector (on-prem)
- Required — demonstrated track record in Requirements Facilitation / Workshops
- Required — variance, close, forecast knowledge in FP&A Business Process
- Proficient in UAT Design & Facilitation
- Proficient in Prompt Engineering (LLM agents)
- Nice to have experience with SAP-RPT-1 Predictive Analytics
- SAP certifications in BTP, Datasphere, or SAP AI Core
- Experience with SAP Data Integration / Replication Flows for moving BPC plan data into Datasphere
- Prior experience implementing SAC 'Just Ask' or other SAP conversational analytics capabilities
- Exposure to RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) setups in SAP AI Core for grounding agents against FP&A commentary or board documents
- Background in IT consulting or enterprise software delivery with multiple client/business unit stakeholders
- Experience with write-back scenarios to BPC plan versions via RFC — not required but meaningful differentiator
