You Are:

A transformation maven with the skills to help clients meet the challenges of digitization. Your human superpower? Using your know-how, creativity, and analytical powers to solve clients' most complex business problems to help their companies do more.

Additionally, you have the communication and people skills to inspire teams to bring their A-game.

The Work:

As an SAP Basis Senior Manager on SAP transformation projects, you will:
  • Define and own the end-to-end SAP platform strategy across complex, multi-workstream transformation programs - spanning S/4HANA Greenfield, Brownfield conversion, BTP/cloud extension, and AMS steady state - ensuring architectural coherence from design through hypercare and handover.
  • Lead enterprise-scale SAP landscape architecture decisions - including system consolidation, multi-tier HA/DR topology, SAP RISE vs. private cloud vs. hybrid positioning, Azure infrastructure right-sizing (Mv3), and network/security perimeter design.
  • Set platform engineering standards and governance frameworks - establishing Basis delivery methodology, tooling standards (Solution Manager, Focused Run, CCMS), transport governance policy, and incident/change management operating models across programs and accounts.

Travel may be required. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

What You Need:
  • Minimum of 8 years experience in SAP Basis, with a minimum of three enterprise-scale S/4HANA transformation programs delivered in a Senior Platform leadership role.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience/expertise across the full SAP Basis domain - HANA architecture, HA/DR, security/compliance, transport governance, monitoring operations, and cloud infrastructure - with the ability to set standards rather than follow them.
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience/proven track record managing complex, multi-geography SAP landscapes in both transformation and AMS contexts, including RISE engagements and hybrid cloud architectures.
  • Minimum of 3 years of demonstrated experience owning client relationships at CIO/IT Director level - including SLA accountability, commercial discussions, and strategic platform advisory.
  • Experience leading and developing teams of 20+ Basis professionals across multiple concurrent engagements.

  • You have experience with SAP RISE commercial model - understanding shared responsibility boundaries, SAP-managed vs. customer-managed scope, and implications for AMS contract structuring.
  • You have familiarity with adjacent platform domains (SAP Integration Suite, SAP Event Mesh, SAP Data Sphere) sufficient to advise on cross-platform architecture decisions.
  • You have experience with hyperscaler-native tooling (Azure Monitor, Azure Advisor, AWS Systems Manager) in the context of SAP on cloud operations.
