Job Description:
Seeking an experienced SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Architect to help define, govern, and enable enterprise architecture as part of our ERP modernization journey. This role focuses on Finance or Supply Chain capabilities and plays a central role in shaping future‑state architecture, guiding fit‑to‑standard decisions, and maintaining a pragmatic clean core approach across SAP S/4HANA and integrated systems.
This position partners closely with business leaders, IT delivery teams, and governance forums to ensure solution scalability, integration alignment, and long‑term maintainability.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and maintain future‑state enterprise architecture aligned to SAP S/4HANA‑enabled business capabilities and ERP roadmaps.
- Lead architecture decision‑making for Finance (Record‑to‑Report, Order‑to‑Cash, Procure‑to‑Pay) or Supply Chain (Plan, Make, Deliver, inventory, logistics).
- Establish and guide boundary application strategy, recommending when to replace, retain, or integrate satellite systems.
- Define and enforce clean core architecture guardrails, using SAP‑recommended extensibility patterns and pragmatic exception governance.
- Guide custom code strategy, including rationalization, remediation, and redesign to reduce technical debt and support S/4HANA adoption.
- Ensure integration alignment across SAP and non‑SAP systems using standardized patterns and architectural principles.
- Use enterprise architecture tools (such as LeanIX or equivalent) to provide transparency into dependencies, integrations, and rationalization opportunities.
- Develop concise, executive‑ready architecture materials that clearly outline options, trade‑offs, and recommendations for governance and leadership forums.
Qualifications
- 8 years of experience in SAP architecture or solution architecture, including significant hands‑on experience with SAP S/4HANA.
- Deep functional and architectural expertise in either Finance or Supply Chain business processes.
- Demonstrated experience defining enterprise architecture, integration strategies, and target‑state designs in complex environments.
- Ability to communicate architectural concepts clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Background in consulting or systems integration, with exposure to multiple SAP S/4HANA implementation approaches (greenfield, brownfield, or selective transition).
- Experience with clean core governance, extensibility frameworks, and custom code reduction initiatives.
- Familiarity with LeanIX, capability mapping, or dependency visualization tools.
- Experience supporting SAP modernization assessments, including simplification items, readiness planning, or custom code impact analysis.
