Junior SAP HANA Consultant

📍 Gurugram 🏷️ ERP & Business Applications 💰 ₹46,500 / month

Cyber City in Gurugram's DLF Phase 2 has a Junior SAP HANA Consultant opening, full time, on site, with an ERP consulting practice implementing SAP environments for enterprise clients. No prior professional experience is required, though the team wants a candidate who's had genuine hands-on SAP HANA exposure, whether through a training program, an academic project, or a prior internship.

The role covers configuring enterprise software modules to match specific business needs, gathering requirements from client stakeholders, and supporting end users once a system goes live and the gap between a tested configuration and real daily use starts to surface. Junior consultants here work alongside senior team members on active client implementations from early on, rather than spending months in an internal sandbox before touching a real project.

What you'll be doing

  • Support configuration of SAP HANA modules to match client business requirements
  • Assist with requirements gathering during client discovery sessions
  • Support end users after go-live on assigned client implementations
  • Work on data modeling and performance tuning tasks under senior consultant guidance

Required skills are SAP HANA, SQL, data modeling, SAP BW, and performance tuning fundamentals. A bachelor's degree in information technology, business administration, or a related field is expected, along with hands-on implementation experience with the relevant enterprise software module, even at a training or academic level for a junior candidate.

Good to have

  • SAP certification specific to HANA or BW, even at an associate level
  • Familiarity with a second SAP module beyond HANA
  • Any client-facing experience, even informal, presenting technical information

Cyber City in DLF Phase 2 is one of Gurugram's most established business districts, and the client base for this ERP practice spans multiple industries, giving a junior consultant exposure to different implementation patterns across sectors relatively early in their career, which the team considers a genuine advantage over a role locked into a single client vertical.

Naukri Mitra has listed ERP roles from this employer previously, and junior consultants who've joined recently describe the mentorship structure as hands-on, with a senior consultant assigned to review their configuration work directly rather than leaving juniors to figure out SAP's quirks entirely on their own through trial and error.

Interviews include a technical round on SAP HANA fundamentals and a scenario discussion about handling a client requirement that seems to conflict with standard configuration options. Candidates who ask thoughtful clarifying questions during that scenario tend to interview well.

Performance conversations here happen roughly twice a year, and for a Junior SAP HANA Consultant specifically, the focus tends to land more on judgment calls and how issues were handled than on raw output volume. A colleague who ships a lot but leaves messes for others to clean up tends to get flagged in review, even if their individual numbers look strong on paper.

A HANA query that runs fine on a small test dataset can behave very differently once it hits the true production data volume, and junior consultants here are encouraged to always validate performance against a realistic data size before considering a configuration finished, rather than assuming a clean small-scale test is sufficient proof.

Implementation engagements here typically run three to five months, and junior consultants are paired closely with a senior consultant throughout, with the pairing gradually shifting from the senior consultant leading client conversations to the junior consultant taking more of that responsibility as the engagement progresses.

The team holds regular sessions reviewing performance issues found during client engagements, specifically to build a shared library of common tuning patterns, since certain types of slow queries have recurred across multiple unrelated client implementations over the past couple of years.

Junior consultants here shadow at least two full client engagements before leading requirements-gathering sessions independently, a deliberate pacing the team maintains because client trust, once damaged by an early miscommunication, is genuinely hard to rebuild mid-engagement.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • On-site cafeteria facilities and cab or commute support

This role is based at Cyber City, DLF Phase 2, Gurugram, pin code 122002, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹46,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four to five weeks.
