Your Role

Are you ready to take overall accountability for end-to-end solution architecture in large-scale SAP S/4HANA transformation programs?

You define content standards, coordinate across domains, and ensure that every team - from process design to system build - knows what to deliver, when, and how. Drawing on your experience in SAP functional implementation, cross-team solution design, and data architecture, you ensure a seamless, cohesive end-to-end outcome.

• Coordinate and validate end-to-end integration test scenarios, test data, and test steps across workstreams
• Support go/no-go decisions and cutover readiness from an end-to-end solution and integration perspective

Transition & Handover

• Facilitate knowledge transfer to AMS and hypercare teams; ensure solution and integration documentation is complete, accessible, and properly handed over
• Participate in the Change Control Board and support continuity from design through stabilization and early hypercare
