Job Title -SAP P2P Solution Architect - UK Statutory & Localisation

Experience Required - 12+ Years
Timezone - 4:30 PM - 1:30 AM IST
Work Mode: Remote

Duration: 6+ months, with possibility of extension based on project requirements

Profile: Senior SAP P2P Solution Architect with S/4HANA procurement and global template expertise
Experience: 12+ years in SAP P2P and MM across global S/4HANA implementations
Note: Candidate should be familiar with the UK SAP S/4HANA rollout.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN
This is a senior architect role owning the end-to-end Procure-to-Pay workstream within a large-scale S/4HANA programme. You will be the functional authority for P2P solution design - from vendor onboarding through PO flows, GR/IR, invoice verification, and payment processing - while maintaining alignment with the global template:

   Own the end-to-end P2P solution architecture for an SAP S/4HANA rollout.    
   Translate business requirements into a robust, scalable S/4HANA target architecture.    
   Lead fit-to-standard / fit-to-template assessments against the existing global SAP solution.    
   Establish clear principles for standardisation vs. localisation.    
   Challenge unnecessary customisation and ensure deviations are supported by a clear business or  

statutory requirement.
Ensure the P2P architecture supports the wider S/4HANA business transformation, rather than simply
replicating existing functionality.
