Senior SAP Solution Architect

Description:

Senior architect level, overseeing SAP design and delivery across multiple functional workstreams and the consultants within them.

Package

£100,000+, flexible depending on seniority.

Essential experience

• Deep SAP S/4HANA experience across private, sovereign and public cloud.
• Multiple full SAP implementations.
• Strong stakeholder and customer-facing skills.
• Experience overseeing multiple functional workstreams (e.g. procurement, sales, quality, manufacturing, warehouse management, finance, data migration and testing).

About the project

You'll be employed by a specialist SAP consultancy, delivering a major SAP S/4HANA transformation programme for an end client in the Defence industry. This is the successful candidate's first assignment - a Greenfield ECC 6 to S/4HANA build, targeting S/4HANA Private Cloud, specifically Sovereign Cloud (an additional private cloud layer required for programmes of this kind), with some public cloud exposure elsewhere in the end client's estate. You'll own the solution architecture for the build described above.

Contract type and location

This is a permanent role, not tied to a single client engagement. The programme above is expected to run 2-3 years and is the candidate's first assignment; the successful candidate then moves onto other client projects as a permanent member of staff.

Fully remote / home-based, with occasional UK travel for workshops and meetings as needed. Travel expenses are covered.

Security clearance and eligibility

Because the end client operates in the Defence industry, BPSS (baseline) security clearance is required, but not upfront - it will be arranged and processed within roughly two weeks of start.

You must be a UK citizen, or hold the right to work in the UK without sponsorship or any restriction.

Recruitment process

Two stages: a 30-minute culture-fit/introductory chat, followed by a technical interview. Two references are required at offer stage.

Key dates

These roles are confirmed and live - first-round interviews are running through October 2026. Target start: early January 2027 (a mobilisation period may push this to mid-January). A December 2026 start is possible for an exceptional candidate who can move quickly.
