SAP roles we staff
Most SAP gaps fall into one of four groups. Knowing which one you have makes the search faster.
| Group | Typical roles |
|---|---|
| Functional consultants | FI/CO, MM, SD, PP/QM, WM and EWM, PM, RAR, SuccessFactors |
| Technical specialists | ABAP and Fiori/UI5 developers, Basis administrators, security and GRC analysts, HANA data modelers |
| Integration | PO/PI developers, BTP Integration Suite (Cloud Integration, API Management, Event Mesh), CPI |
| Leads and architects | Solution architects, SAP project managers, data migration leads |
Staffing an S/4HANA program by phase
The roles you need change as the program moves through SAP Activate. Most staffing problems we see come from adding a role one phase too late.
| Phase | Roles usually added | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Explore (design and fit-to-standard) | Functional leads per module, solution architect, data migration lead | A data migration lead brought in after design is signed off |
| Realize (build and test) | ABAP and Fiori developers, integration developers, security, test leads | Test capacity sized for the happy path only |
| Deploy (cutover) | Cutover lead, Basis, data load support | The same people stretched across cutover and daily support |
| Run (hypercare) | Module support consultants, Basis, a handover to the permanent team | Contractors rolling off before knowledge transfer is done |
Staffing can close skill gaps, add capacity at the right time and protect the handover. It can't fix scope changes, sponsor decisions or the quality of your source data.
How we screen an SAP consultant
Define the profile with your lead.
We turn the role into concrete filters: years in the module, the release, hands-on build work and the systems it touches.
Favor the work over the certificate.
For migrations, we look for people who have done the cutover before, not only greenfield builds.
Check your landscape.
S/4HANA or ECC, and the systems on the other end of every integration, such as WMS or commerce platforms.
Test for the real shape of the role.
If the job is build plus support, we say so up front and screen for people who'll do both.
Confirm fit before submittal.
Work model, location, rate and contract terms are settled before you see a résumé.
Recent SAP work
400 legacy integrations moving to SAP BTP (2026).
A company moving from SAP Hybris on-premise to SAP Commerce Cloud had about 400 SAP PO integrations to rebuild on BTP Integration Suite, with around 50 business-critical flows due by the end of Q1. We shortlisted migration-tested developers within days. The consultant started on the client's date, took over the critical-path queue and kept the legacy PO landscape supported during the move.
One consultant, five disciplines (2026).
A global wellness brand moving from SAP PO to BTP Cloud Integration, with a new WMS rollout of about 30 interfaces running in parallel, needed Basis, ABAP, functional, BTP administration and integration development. One senior consultant covered all five instead of a five-person team.
A greenfield S/4HANA team in a validated environment.
A global biopharmaceutical company needed a project manager, security analyst, Basis administrator, HANA data modeler and S/4HANA Finance consultant for a greenfield implementation under GxP rules. We delivered all five in 12 days, with 100% retention through the implementation.
SAP client feedback
"Based on the quick turnaround, cost-effective rates, and value brought by the talent they provided, we have turned to Mako to engage additional talent to improve the implementation process further. I would strongly recommend Mako Professionals for any current or upcoming project staffing needs related to SAP or Microsoft."
"Mako's team was able to take on this challenge and source qualified professionals. Their patience, professionalism, and persistence were key for us and have allowed us to begin this professional journey."
SAP for utilities
We also recruit SAP IS-U and S/4HANA Utilities consultants for device management, billing, FI-CA and energy data management. Utilities sit at different points on that path, so we staff to where your system is today. Running Oracle Utilities instead? See Oracle CC&B staffing.
SAP staffing questions
What is SAP staff augmentation?
You add SAP consultants to your team for a set period. They work inside your program and report to your leads; we recruit, screen and manage the contract.
How quickly can you provide SAP consultants?
We aim to submit qualified candidates within 48 hours of a clear requirement. Start dates depend on notice periods and your interview process.
Contract, contract-to-hire or full-time: which should I choose?
Contract fits a defined phase or a capacity gap. Contract-to-hire lets you see the work before making an offer. Full-time fits a role you'll need after go-live. See full-time hiring.
Do you support S/4HANA programs?
Yes. Our consultants have managed S/4HANA transitions for global enterprises, and we staff by phase from design through hypercare.
Can you staff SAP integration work, such as PO to BTP?
Yes. Recent placements include senior PO/PI and BTP Integration Suite developers on live migrations.
