SAP Data Specialist I
Location: San Marcos, TX
Shift: Normal standard business hours | Monday - Friday
Position Summary
The SAP Data Specialist I shows strong accuracy and judgment entering data and is ready to take ownership of data integrity across SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. Rather than only entering records, this role evaluates and safeguards the quality of both master data and transactional data — confirming that information such as batch/lot numbers, quantities, and reference documents populate correctly as transactions move through the system — and partners with the Business Systems team to catch and correct issues before they affect operations, reporting, or compliance. This role typically owns one assigned functional area day-to-day (for example, Sales & Distribution, Procurement, or Production) while contributing to data governance standards that apply across the whole system.
Key Responsibilities
Master Data Integrity:
- Entering and maintaining master data (customer, material, vendor, pricing) across supported SAP modules, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
- Auditing existing master data on a recurring basis to identify duplicate, outdated, or inconsistent records, and driving correction at the source rather than just fixing the symptom.
- Partnering with the Dev/Support team to flag systemic master data issues that need a process or configuration fix.
Transactional Data Quality & Governance:
- Evaluating transactional data as it moves through the system — for example, confirming batch/lot numbers, quantities, and dates populate correctly on production confirmations, sales orders, and purchase documents.
- Reconciling transactional records against source documents to catch entry errors, missing references, or broken links between related documents (e.g., sales order delivery invoice).
- Monitoring recurring data-quality metrics and exception reports, and escalating patterns that suggest a training gap or system issue rather than a one-time mistake.
- Supporting month-end/period-close data checks to confirm transactional data is complete and audit-ready.
Functional Module Support (as assigned):
- Serving as the primary SAP data point of contact for one assigned functional area (e.g., Sales & Distribution, Procurement, or Production), including order/document entry and related master data for that area.
- Training and supporting business users in that functional area on day-to-day system use (for example, data entry requests and system navigation).
Data Governance & Standards:
- Helping maintain data entry standards, naming conventions, and validation checklists used across the Data Governance Team.
- Training and mentoring team members on data entry best practices and common error patterns.
- Supporting the Business Systems team with ad hoc data pulls, cleanup projects, and system enhancement testing.
Required Qualifications
- Has 6–12+ months of hands-on SAP S/4HANA experience in a data entry or similar operational role (e.g., as a Data Clerk), with a demonstrated record of accuracy and catching errors before they become problems.
- Has working knowledge of data governance practices and data quality metrics and applies that knowledge day-to-day rather than just on paper.
- Can evaluate both master data and transactional data — for example, confirming batch numbers, quantities, and reference documents are correct — and know when to escalate a pattern versus fixing a one-off.
- Is highly proficient in Excel and comfortable navigating SAP across more than one module or transaction type.
- Communicates clearly with both business users and the Business Systems team and can train others on data entry standards.
- Has basic knowledge of accounting and how transactional data flows through order-to-cash and/or procure-to-pay processes.
- Is detail-oriented and organized and takes ownership of data quality rather than waiting to be told about an error.
Physical Requirements
- Must be able to pass drug screening, medical physical and, if applicable, visual testing.
- Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
- Must be able to lift/move up to 15 pounds at times.

Align your SAP module certifications strategically
Employers filing H-1B petitions for SAP roles need to document specialty occupation. Certifications in SAP S/4HANA, SAP BTP, or a specific functional module like FI/CO or MM make that documentation cleaner and reduce the risk of a Request for Evidence.
Target companies mid-ERP-implementation
Enterprises in the middle of an SAP S/4HANA migration have urgent, non-discretionary hiring needs. These employers are far more likely to sponsor a visa than those in steady-state operations, because replacing a mid-project SAP specialist mid-implementation is costly.
Verify prevailing wage before your offer stage
Your employer must certify your salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for your SAP role and work location before filing an LCA. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level II or III wage for your specific SAP title and metro area before negotiations start.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified SAP sponsors
Filter for employers with confirmed LCA filing history for SAP and ERP roles on Migrate Mate. This tells you which companies have already cleared the DOL compliance steps, so you're not starting a sponsorship conversation from scratch during your interview process.
Ask your employer about PERM timing upfront
Many SAP Specialist positions qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship. Employers experienced with SAP hires often initiate PERM labor certification within your second year, so clarifying their green card policy during the offer stage avoids delays that compound against priority date backlogs.
Prepare a degree equivalency letter if needed
If your SAP experience is deep but your degree is in a loosely related field, a credential evaluation letter from a USCIS-recognized evaluator can bridge the specialty occupation argument. USCIS accepts three years of specialized work experience as equivalent to one year of relevant education.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an SAP Specialist role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates whether the position normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field. SAP implementation and configuration roles typically require degrees in computer science, information systems, business administration, or engineering. Employers strengthen the petition by documenting that the specific SAP modules involved require specialized theoretical knowledge, not just on-the-job training.
Which SAP modules attract the most visa sponsorship?
Roles centered on SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Ariba, and SAP BTP tend to attract the most sponsorship activity because demand for these skills outpaces the domestic supply. Functional areas like FI/CO, SD, and MM also see consistent LCA filings. You can browse current openings by module on Migrate Mate to see which specializations have active sponsoring employers.
Can my employer file a PERM green card application for an SAP Specialist position?
Yes. SAP Specialist roles commonly support EB-2 or EB-3 green card petitions through PERM labor certification. The employer must conduct a good-faith recruitment process and demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available. Because India-born applicants face significant priority date backlogs in EB-2 and EB-3, it's worth confirming your employer's PERM process timeline during the offer negotiation.
What if my degree is not in a computer science or IT field?
USCIS allows work experience to substitute for formal education at a ratio of three years of specialized experience per one year of degree-equivalent credit. If your SAP expertise was built through years of hands-on implementation work rather than a directly related degree, a detailed experience letter from prior employers and a credential evaluation can support the specialty occupation argument in your H-1B petition.
How long does the H-1B process take for an SAP Specialist hired mid-year?
If you're already in H-1B status with another employer, your new SAP employer can file a transfer petition and you can start work once it's received by USCIS, without waiting for approval. For new H-1B petitions, standard processing runs several months. USCIS premium processing accelerates adjudication to 15 business days for an additional government fee, which many SAP employers elect to pay given implementation urgency.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored SAP Specialist jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
