About the role

  • The SAP Technical Architect will report to the Director of Enterprise Architecture & Application Development and serves as the primary hands-on technical authority for all SAP solutions across the enterprise.
  • The SAP Technical Architect plays a critical role in ERP consolidation efforts, ensuring technical integrity and consistency across a complex, multi-entity SAP landscape.
  • The SAP Technical Architect is the key technical bridge between SAP and the broader enterprise ecosystem - owning the SAP technical foundation that enables automations, integrations, and future ERP evolution.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and deliver end-to-end SAP technical solutions across all phases - design, build, implementation, and delivery - for projects and enhancements spanning FI, MM, PP, SD, WM, QM, and BW.
  • Develop and maintain Solution Design Documents (SDDs), technical blueprints, and architecture decision records for all SAP initiatives.
  • Lead and conduct technical design reviews and code reviews across internal teams and external delivery partners, ensuring adherence to development standards and clean core principles.
  • Own the SAP integration architecture - designing and delivering integration solutions using SAP BTP Integration Suite (iPaaS), iFlows, RFC/BAPI-based interfaces, IDoc processing, REST/SOAP APIs, and API Management.
  • Collaborate with the Integration team to architect end-to-end integration patterns between SAP and non-SAP enterprise systems (CRM, WMS, third-party platforms, B2B/EDI).
  • Design and develop custom RFCs, BAPI wrappers, Z-function modules, and API interfaces that expose SAP functionality reliably to automation and AI/ML platforms.
  • Guide and mentor SAP functional teams and external partner developers on correct technical approaches, ABAP best practices, and SAP architectural patterns.
  • Partner closely with the Automation team to ensure all SAP technical requirements for RPA, intelligent automation, and agentic use cases are delivered with the right architecture, security, and performance standards.
  • Serve as the primary SAP technical point of contact across project teams, business workstreams, and IT delivery partners - facilitating clear communication between business needs and technical execution.
  • Engage with external delivery partners to govern technical quality, review solution designs, and ensure alignment with CG architectural standards.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • Proven track record of independently leading SAP technical architecture and full-lifecycle delivery across large-scale ERP implementations, consolidations, or enhancement programs.
  • Deep ABAP technical proficiency - able to architect, develop, review, and optimize complex SAP programs independently.
  • 10+ years of SAP technical experience with deep, hands-on expertise in ABAP development and SAP solution architecture.
  • Serve as the SAP technical owner for all automation initiatives - architecting and building the SAP-side technical layer required for seamless UiPath RPA bot execution.

Nice to have

  • SAP certifications (e.g., Technology Associate, Professional, or module-specific) and familiarity with SAP Activate methodology are not required but considered a plus.
  • Exposure to SAP S/4HANA concepts and architecture - including awareness of clean core principles, SAP extension patterns, and ECC-to-S/4HANA upgrade considerations.
  • Hands-on S/4HANA experience is not required but is a plus.
  • Familiarity with SAP BTP services including Integration Suite, SAP Build, Workflow, and Business Application Studio - hands-on experience is not required but is advantageous.
  • Experience working in a PE-backed or M&A-active enterprise environment with multi-system ERP consolidation across acquired entities.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML integration patterns within SAP (SAP AI Core, BTP AI services).

Skills

  • Experience delivering SAP technical requirements for automation platforms (UiPath or equivalent RPA tools) and enterprise integrations.
  • Experience in multi-entity or M&A-driven ERP consolidation environments is strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of SAP integration patterns, middleware architecture, and enterprise connectivity standards.
  • Excellent collaboration skills - proven ability to work extensively across SAP functional, business, and IT teams in a matrixed environment.
  • Strong communication skills - able to translate complex technical SAP concepts clearly for both technical teams and business stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently as a senior individual contributor with broad ownership and minimal supervision.
  • Understanding of DevOps and CI/CD practices applied to SAP environments (gCTS, transport management, ChaRM).
