Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced SAP Solution Architect to provide enterprise-level
architecture and technical leadership for a large-scale SAP transformation and
implementation program. This role will define the overall SAP solution architecture,
ensure alignment across functional and technical workstreams, and guide integrations
between SAP and the broader enterprise application landscape.
The SAP Architect will partner closely with business leaders, SAP functional teams,
technical teams, enterprise architecture, security, infrastructure, and implementation
partners to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, integrated, and aligned with long-term
business and technology strategy.
Key Responsibilities
• Define and maintain the overall SAP solution architecture across business
processes, applications, integrations, data, security, and infrastructure.
• Provide architectural leadership for SAP S/4HANA implementations, migrations,
upgrades, and transformation initiatives.
• Translate business requirements and strategic objectives into scalable SAP
architecture and solution designs.
• Establish architectural standards, principles, design patterns, and technical
guardrails for the SAP program.
• Lead solution-design sessions and architecture reviews across SAP functional
and technical workstreams.
• Ensure effective integration between SAP and non-SAP enterprise applications,
including cloud platforms, legacy systems, third-party applications, and data
environments.
• Evaluate integration approaches involving APIs, middleware, interfaces, events,
and batch processing.
• Partner with functional leads to ensure SAP module designs support end-to-end
business processes and enterprise architecture standards.
• Provide oversight of SAP data architecture, master data, migration, reporting,
and integration requirements.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity and IAM teams to incorporate security, roles,
access controls, compliance, and segregation-of-duties requirements into solution
designs.
• Identify architectural risks, dependencies, technical debt, and integration
challenges and drive appropriate resolution.
• Review solution designs and technical deliverables produced by implementation
partners and consulting firms.
• Ensure architectural decisions consider scalability, performance, resiliency,
maintainability, and long-term support.
• Support testing, cutover planning, deployment, go-live readiness, and post-
production stabilization from an architecture perspective.
• Maintain architecture documentation, diagrams, decision records, roadmaps, and
future-state designs.
• Communicate complex technical concepts and architecture decisions effectively
to technical teams, business stakeholders, and executive leadership.
Required Qualifications
Utility experience required
• 10+ years of SAP technology experience, with significant experience in SAP
architecture or enterprise solution design.
• Proven experience serving as an SAP Solution Architect, SAP Enterprise
Architect, or Lead SAP Architect on large-scale enterprise implementations.
• Strong experience with SAP S/4HANA architecture, implementation, migration, or
modernization.
• Broad understanding of SAP functional and technical architecture and how SAP
capabilities integrate across enterprise business processes.
• Extensive experience designing SAP and non-SAP integrations within complex
enterprise environments.
• Strong understanding of APIs, middleware, data integration, interfaces, cloud
technologies, and enterprise integration patterns.
• Experience evaluating technical designs and ensuring alignment with enterprise
architecture standards.
• Demonstrated ability to work across functional, technical, infrastructure, security,
data, and business teams.
• Experience providing architectural oversight to large consulting firms and
systems integration partners.
• Excellent stakeholder management, facilitation, documentation, and executive
communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
• ERP and CRB are a huge plus
• Experience within the utility or energy industry and familiarity with complex
regulated enterprise environments.
• Architecture experience involving SAP platforms such as S/4HANA, ECC, SAP
BTP, SuccessFactors, Ariba, EAM/Asset Management, or related SAP solutions.
• Experience with SAP integration technologies and modern API/integration
architectures.
• Understanding of SAP security, IAM, GRC, roles, and SoD considerations.
• Experience with cloud and hybrid architectures involving Azure, AWS, or other
enterprise cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks and architecture governance
processes.
• SAP architecture, TOGAF, cloud, or related professional certifications are
preferred.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate combines deep SAP architecture expertise with broad enterprise
technology knowledge. This individual should be capable of looking beyond an
individual SAP module to understand the complete ecosystem—business processes,
integrations, data, security, infrastructure, and downstream systems.
They will serve as a senior technical authority for the program, challenging designs
when necessary, driving architectural decisions, and ensuring the SAP implementation
creates a sustainable enterprise platform rather than a collection of disconnected
solutions.
