Full Job Description
We are seeking a seasoned senior Solutions Architect who brings an enterprise architecture mindset, a strong command of SAP's technology landscape, and a proven track record of leading transformative, global-scale supply chain initiatives.
The people here at Apple don't just build products - they create the kind of innovation that reshapes
entire industries. The diversity of our teams and the breadth of their thinking fuels breakthroughs across everything we do, from supply chain intelligence to industry-leading sustainability. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it.
Are you a senior architect and recognized thought leader with deep supply chain expertise,
executive presence, and a demonstrated ability to drive enterprise-wide transformation? As part
of our Worldwide Operations Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) group, you will set the
architectural direction for initiatives that harness SAP S/4HANA, SAP BTP, and the emerging
frontier of agentic AI to modernize Apple's global operations. Here, you will have the freedom to
challenge convention, shape long-range technology strategy, and leave a lasting mark on how Apple operates at scale. The ideal candidate brings strong, hands-on enterprise architecture leadership with a deep understanding of Quote-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay business processes end-to-end - paired with strong, current experience in the latest SAP capabilities: SAP BTP, BDC, SAP AI (Joule), Integration Suite, and RPA. Beyond technical breadth, they bring the intellectual curiosity and drive to actively explore, prototype, and deploy agentic AI solutions that fundamentally redefine how enterprise processes operate - and the confidence to own those outcomes from first principles to production.
As a senior Solutions Architect, you will drive architecture for complex, cross-functional supply chain
initiatives - taking full ownership from concept through delivery. This is a deeply hands-on role: you
will roll up your sleeves to lead implementation, pick up the most complex projects from inception to go-live, and be accountable for the results. You set the architectural direction, guide the team through every phase of delivery, and own the outcomes. This role demands creating a strategic vision and ground-level technical execution: the ability to shape long-range architecture roadmaps while staying close enough to the work to resolve the hardest problems and hold the bar on quality. You will be a trusted thought leader, a bridge between business strategy and technology execution, and a champion for innovation - including the rapidly evolving space of agentic AI and autonomous process automation.
Senior Architecture Experience: Proven tenure as a senior Solutions Architect with a deep
enterprise architecture mindset - commanding both the strategic altitude to set direction and the
technical depth to validate and guide implementation decisions across SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP. Enterprise Transformation Track Record: Demonstrated success leading large-scale, enterprise-
wide transformations - delivering solutions that are scalable, stable, resilient, and consistently
grounded in measurable business and customer outcomes.
Business Process Engineering: Deep expertise in business process re-engineering, including
complex platform migrations and process redesign across global supply chain domains, with a
strong command of translating business strategy into architectural requirements.
SAP BTP Proficiency: Hands-on experience with SAP BTP technologies - including SAP
Integration Suite, SAP Build, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP AI Core, and SAP Joule - with the ability to
architect full-stack BTP solutions from design through production.
SAP Functional Domains: Proven experience designing and integrating solutions across core SAP
functional areas: Sales & Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Inventory Management,
Procurement, and Logistics Execution.
Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation: Demonstrated experience exploring, ideating, and building
agentic AI solutions in an enterprise context - including multi-agent orchestration, LLM-integrated
automation pipelines, tool-use APIs, and MCP-based workflow frameworks. Ability to assess
emerging agentic platforms (such as SAP AI Core agents, AutoGen, LangGraph, or equivalent) and
articulate adoption strategies aligned with enterprise SAP architecture principles.
Modern Architectural Principles: Strong command of API-first design, micro-services architecture,
event-driven patterns, and cloud-native development - applied at scale in complex, multi-system
enterprise environments.
Senior Stakeholder Leadership: Proven ability to lead architectural discussions at senior and
executive levels - driving consensus, influencing without authority, and aligning diverse, globally
distributed stakeholder groups around a shared technical vision.
Executive Communication: Exceptional ability to distill complex architectural concepts into clear,
compelling narratives for business leadership - adapting depth and framing to the audience
without sacrificing accuracy or strategic clarity.
Global Team Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading and collaborating with globally
distributed, cross-functional teams on enterprise-scale SAP initiatives - building trust, managing
ambiguity, and sustaining alignment across time zones and organizational boundaries.
