Full Job Description
We are looking for an experienced SAP Basis consultant to act as a performance advisor for complex SAP landscapes. This is an advisory role rather than hands-on system administration: the focus is on analysing environments and providing expert recommendations that optimise system performance and ensure compatibility with specialised transformation tools.
You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team delivering large-scale SAP initiatives, including data migrations, carve-outs, data deletions, upgrades and transformations. Your recommendations will directly shape how efficiently and safely these projects run.

- System performance tuning
- Data volume management (excluding archiving strategies) • Support planning activities for data migrations, system carve-outs, and upgrades and transformations. • Collaborate with technical and functional teams to align recommendations with project goals. • Provide input on database-level considerations across Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SAP HANA. • Assist in analysing ABAP-related performance issues (traces, dumps and inefficient programs).
