- 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.
- Own the commercial and delivery relationship for Basis platform scope on platform roadmaps, change order scoping, SLA negotiation, and continuous service improvement.
- Represent the platform perspective in program governance - participating in steering committees, executive status reviews, and risk/issue forums; translating platform complexity into strategic clarity for senior client and internal leadership.
