You Are:A seasoned SAP Development Lead with deep hands-on expertise in SAP ABAP and Core Data Services (CDS) for S/4HANA, who thrives in complex, regulated, and security-constrained environments. You combine strong technical leadership with the ability to set direction, govern standards, and drive quality across onshore and offshore teams. You bring sharp technical judgement, a delivery-focused mindset, and the credibility to engage confidently with architects, functional leads, and senior client stakeholders, translating technical complexity into clear outcomes.
The Work:- Lead SAP ABAP and Core Data Services (CDS) development activities for S/4HANA, including detailed technical design, architecture decisions, and hands-on development.
- Define and enforce CDS View design standards across the development team, including VDM layering conventions (Basic/Interface/Consumption), annotation governance, and access control (DCL) patterns.
- Act as the onshore Development Lead, ensuring all work from QA onward is executed in compliance with clearance requirements.
- Collaborate with offshore development teams and ensure quality, standards, and integration across landscapes including CDS-based Data services and Fiori back-end artifacts.
- Lead technical integration design utilizing SAP PO/PI and APIs, including CDS-exposed OData endpoints where applicable.
- Design and support SAP Fiori applications aligned to user and process needs, leveraging CDS/RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming Model) patterns for transactional and analytical use cases.
- Partner closely with SAP architects, functional leads, testing teams, and client stakeholders.
- Ensure adherence to security, compliance, and delivery standards throughout the lifecycle, including authorization concept implementation via DCL and CDS role-based access.
- This role requires in-office presence in the local ATC office 3 days per week.

- Ability to lead development teams across complex, large-scale ERP transformations and coordinate onshore/offshore delivery models, including setting CDS and ABAP coding standards for distributed teams.
