SAP Solution Architect

The Solution Architect designs the overarching end-to-end business capabilities across the retail domain, orchestrating processes that span multiple modules in the planned SAP S/4 system.

• Key Responsibilities:
• Blueprinting & Architecture: Define, design, and maintain the global SAP target architecture. Ensure end-to-end process integration across critical business cycles, including Order-to-Cash (O2C), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and Record-to-Report (R2R).
• Cross-Module Integration: Drive architectural alignment and seamless data flow between core modules, specifically SAP FI/CO, SD, ensuring zero siloed workflows.
• Technology Modernization: Lead the architectural strategy for legacy ERP migration to SAP S/4HANA, optimizing the use of SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) for cloud-native extensions.
• Stakeholder Advisory: Partner closely with executive business leaders, business analysts, and functional leads to translate complex business objectives into scalable, sustainable SAP solutions.
• Governance & Standards: Establish and enforce SAP development best practices, data governance frameworks, and clean-core principles to minimize custom ABAP technical debt.
• Vendor & Partner Orchestration: Collaborate with external system integrators, SAP professionals, and third-party vendors during large-scale deployment, testing, and hyper-care phases.
• Architectural Orchestration: Lead, mentor, and govern a team of dedicated SAP Solution Architects and/or Subject Matter Experts (System Engineers) across specialized domains (such as SD, FI/CO).
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the ultimate escalation point and referee for cross-module integration disputes, ensuring that a decision made by the FI architect does not negatively impact the workflows of the SD architects**.**
