Full Job Description
We are currently seeking a ERP Specialist Advisor to join our team in Oakbrook, Illinois.

Job Info:
  • Serve as the senior BASIS authority on the migration program - owning system architecture, sizing, and configuration decisions from a BASIS perspective
  • Perform core BASIS administration: installation, configuration, patching, upgrades, transport management, and performance tuning
  • Lead technical planning and execution of system copies, migrations, and cutover activities for ECC moving to Azure
  • Review and validate Azure infrastructure proposals (VM sizing, storage, networking) put forward by Azure architects, ensuring they meet SAP BASIS requirements and SAP-certified standards
  • Coordinate closely with Azure cloud architects - translating BASIS requirements into infrastructure asks and vetting their recommendations, rather than designing Azure infrastructure independently
  • Support HANA installation activities and contribute to verification/recommendations for HANA-on-Azure setup
  • Troubleshoot complex technical issues across BASIS, OS, database, and infrastructure layers
  • Document BASIS architecture decisions, configurations, and migration runbooks
  • Collaborate with security, network, and application teams to ensure smooth transition

Required Skills & Experience:
  • 10+ years of hands-on SAP BASIS experience, with demonstrated architecture-level ownership (not just operational administration)
  • 3+ working knowledge of Azure infrastructure concepts relevant to SAP (VM types, storage, networking) - sufficient to validate and challenge architect recommendations, not to design Azure infrastructure from scratch
  • 2+ years knowledge of SAP HANA - able to support installation and participate in verification/recommendation activities for HANA on Azure

Preferred/Nice to Have:
  • Formal Azure certification (e.g., Azure Fundamentals or SAP on Azure-specific certification)
  • Deeper SAP HANA implementation experience
  • Exposure to S/4HANA landscapes or conversion projects
