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. • SAP BTP certifications and SAP Functional/Technical certifications (e.g., SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Integration Suite, SAP Build, SAP AI Core) Six Sigma, PMP, or equivalent delivery excellence certification Experience in Big 4 Consulting or equivalent enterprise architecture advisory roles - with a track record of shaping client technology strategy at the executive level Demonstrated thought leadership in agentic AI and intelligent automation - including conference presentations, published frameworks, internal communities of practice, or contribution to open- source agentic tooling Advanced experience in SAP AI/ML and agentic AI use cases for supply chain optimization, demand sensing, autonomous order management, or logistics intelligence
