Lead SAP Solutions Architect

Essential Duties And Responsibilities

• Arcitect and deliver end-to-end SAP technical solutions across all phases — design, build, implementation, and delivery — for projects and enhancements spanning FI, MM, PP, SD, WM, QM, and BW.
• Provide technical architecture guidance for SAP add-on platforms including SAP TM (Transportation Management), SAP EM (Event Management), SAP IBP (Integrated Business Planning), and SAP Hybris / Commerce Cloud (e-Commerce).
• Develop and maintain Solution Design Documents (SDDs), technical blueprints, and architecture decision records for all SAP initiatives.
• Ensure technical integrity and consistency across the SAP landscape, enforcing architectural standards and SAP best practices across all delivered solutions.
• Play a key technical role in ERP consolidation initiatives, supporting multi-entity landscape harmonization, system rationalization, and phased migration efforts.
• Serve as the hands-on ABAP technical lead for priority initiatives — designing and developing custom SAP objects including OO ABAP, BADIs, Enhancement Spots, User Exits, RFCs, BAPIs, Z-function modules, IDocs, SmartForms, and Adobe Forms.
• Conduct performance tuning and code optimization of complex ABAP programs to meet enterprise reliability and throughput standards.
• Lead and conduct technical design reviews and code reviews across internal teams and external delivery partners, ensuring adherence to development standards and clean core principles.
• Guide and mentor SAP functional teams and external partner developers on correct technical approaches, ABAP best practices, and SAP architectural patterns.
• Own the SAP integration architecture — designing and delivering integration solutions using SAP BTP Integration Suite (iPaaS), iFlows, RFC/BAPI-based interfaces, IDoc processing, REST/SOAP APIs, and API Management.
• Collaborate with the Integration team to architect end-to-end integration patterns between SAP and non-SAP enterprise systems (CRM, WMS, third-party platforms, B2B/EDI).
• Ensure data consistency, process harmonization, and reliable message flow across all SAP integration touchpoints.
• Serve as the SAP technical owner for all automation initiatives — architecting and building the SAP-side technical layer required for seamless UiPath RPA bot execution.
• Design and develop custom RFCs, BAPI wrappers, Z-function modules, and API interfaces that expose SAP functionality reliably to automation and AI/ML platforms.
• Partner closely with the Automation team to ensure all SAP technical requirements for RPA, intelligent automation, and agentic use cases are delivered with the right architecture, security, and performance standards.
• Serve as the primary SAP technical point of contact across project teams, business workstreams, and IT delivery partners — facilitating clear communication between business needs and technical execution.
• Engage with external delivery partners to govern technical quality, review solution designs, and ensure alignment with CG architectural standards.
• Contribute to SAP platform roadmap planning and continuous improvement of the SAP technical estate in preparation for future ERP evolution.
• Define and enforce SAP technical development standards, coding guidelines, and architecture governance practices across the SAP landscape.
• Conduct regular architecture and code reviews to ensure compliance with SAP best practices, security policies, and CG technology standards.
