YOUR MISSION:

New Foundations is Richemont’s multi-year transformation programme to simplify and align business processes and technology in preparation for the Group’s migration to SAP S/4HANA. It is designed to create the organisational, governance and delivery foundations needed to enable a successful, scalable and business-led ERP transformation.

As Technical Manager for New Foundations, you will own the target technology architecture and shape the technology evolution path required to deliver Richemont’s SAP S/4HANA migration. You will ensure that the adoption decisions made through scope and simplification translate into a coherent, future-proof and sustainable enterprise landscape, extending well beyond the conversion event itself. Working under the Programme Director, you will collaborate with technology experts to define the migration roadmap with Group Platforms and guide the evolution of the ERP landscape across the programme lifecycle.

HOW WILL YOU MAKE AN IMPACT?

• Own the target-state technology architecture and define the future SAP S/4HANA-centred landscape — ERP core, satellites, integrations and extensions on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and third-party platforms.
• Translate scope and simplification decisions into a viable and scalable architecture blueprint, aligned with Group architecture principles and clean-core strategy.
• Define clear ERP boundaries, ensuring consistency between what is removed or simplified and what is rebuilt, extended or externalised.
• Own the integration and extensibility strategy, including application programming interfaces (APIs), middleware and event-driven patterns.
• Assess technical feasibility, dependencies and sequencing, anchoring ambition in technical reality.
• Prepare technology principles, architecture guardrails and the inputs required for Solution Design.
• Partner with product and technical teams to upskill on SAP S/4HANA and ensure decisions are grounded in technical reality.

HOW WILL YOU EXPERIENCE SUCCESS WITH US?

• fSenior experience in large-scale ERP and platform transformations (SAP S/4HANA is a must).
• Proven track record in Technical Architecture in complex environments.
• Deep experience designing hybrid landscapes (ERP, satellites, data, integrations, cloud platforms).
• Comfortable engaging with senior technology and business leaders, including ExCo-level forums.
• Experience operating in an international multi-entity or multi-brand environments.
• Strong mastery of SAP S/4HANA architecture patterns, clean-core principles and extensibility models.
• Deep understanding of integration architectures, APIs, middleware and SAP BTP.
• Ability to translate simplification and legacy constraints into forward-looking architecture choices.
• Strong analytical capability to frame technology trade-offs (standard vs flexibility vs cost).
• Structured decision framing, with a focus on long-term operability and scalability.
• Strong long-term and systems thinking.
• Comfortable holding the line on architectural non-negotiables.
• Credible authority with both technology and business stakeholders.
• Acts as a steward of future value, not a defender of current solutions.

WHAT MAKES OUR GROUP DIFFERENT?

• Our true power does not lie in our similarities but in the rich diversity of our arts, cultures, and human skills, as well as our specific ability to foster untapped potential.
• We value freedom, collegiality, loyalty, and solidarity.
• We foster empathy, curiosity, courage, humility, and integrity.
• We care for the world we live in.

YOUR JOURNEY WITH US

• An initial conversation with our Talent Acquisition team to discuss your background, motivations and the role.
• A meeting with Hiring Manager for this role.
• Subsequent interviews with key Group Platforms stakeholders and members of the New Foundations programme team to explore your experience in depth.
• A final conversation focused on mutual fit, expectations and next steps.
• We are committed to providing timely, transparent feedback at each stage of the process.
