About the Role:

Our client is looking for a service-minded SAP Solution Architect to join our global SAP-IT organization supporting our SAP environment (ECC6 HANA, RISE on AWS). This role supports multiple business areas including Finance/Controlling, Order Management (FI/CO/SD/MM), Product and Customer Master, and IS-Media, and is both strategic and hands-on as we mature our SAP practices.

As a key contributor and product owner, you will design, implement, test, and deploy scalable solutions across the SAP ecosystem, working closely with global teams including Finance, Client Support, Contract Management, Product, and Legal to deliver impactful solutions in a fast-paced, innovative, and service-focused environment.

Responsibilities

• Own the full systems development lifecycle - from requirements gathering through design, configuration, testing, and deployment of SAP solutions across FI/CO/SD/MM, including ABAP development and integrations (APIs, IDocs, middleware such as SAP BTP/CPI) between SAP and non-SAP enterprise applications.
• Take ownership of system maintenance (BASIS) tasks such as system refreshes and client copies, Note application, certificate management, job scheduling, system monitoring and performance tuning, and managing user access and security in SAP.
• Partner with business leadership and stakeholders to shape new initiatives, ensure clear requirements and sound solution strategies aligned with business goals and SAP standard functionality, and project-manage implementation of new features.
• Define the test strategy and standards for SAP changes across modules and integration points; document test cases and lead end-to-end, system integration, regression, performance, and user acceptance testing, including creation and management of test data.
• Diagnose, document, and track defects using tools such as JIRA, collaborating with business and development teams to ensure timely resolution.
• Maintain detailed system architecture documentation, provide status reporting to project teams and stakeholders, and stay current with SAP updates and industry best practices to drive continuous improvement.

• Hands-on ABAP development experience (reports, enhancements, interfaces, debugging) and experience building integrations between SAP and non-SAP systems (APIs, IDocs, middleware such as SAP BTP/CPI).
• Experience leading change management for a system implementation, migration, or platform upgrade such as S/4HANA.
• Preferred: SAP certifications, S/4HANA project exposure, and familiarity with integrated platforms such as Salesforce, OneStream, Snowflake, and Vertex.
