The Position

The ERP Solution Architect designs business-driven, standards-based, and future-ready enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions within a specific solution context. In this role, you will design solutions that meet product requirements, business priorities, and enterprise standards while managing non-functional requirements and evolving the architecture throughout the product life cycle. By solving complex technical problems, defining reference architectures, and aligning with the broader architecture community for governance, you will ensure robust ERP implementations that deliver enhanced value to the organization. The Solution Architect for ERP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Processes, Framework and Tools is the primary technical authority responsible for architecting the transition from legacy SAP Solution Manager to a modern, future-proof ALM ecosystem. In this role, you will lead the strategic design and operational excellence of the global "Requirements to Deploy" process, ensuring that our delivery pipeline remains robust during a period of significant technological shift. Your core mission is to navigate the complexities of SAP's Cloud ALM offering while maintaining the flexibility to custom-build proprietary solutions when standard tools lack the necessary influence on design or functional depth. As part of your daily remit, you will: Architect the Pivot: Actively evaluate the functional gaps within SAP Cloud ALM and decide where the organization must "Build" rather than "Buy." You will be responsible for the high-level design of custom ALM modules (potentially on SAP BTP or other cloud-native platforms) to ensure our specific business requirements are met. Design the "Requirements to Deploy" Lifecycle and Lead Technical Decisioning: You will orchestrate the end-to-end framework including Business Process Modelling, Requirements, Change, Transport, Release, Test, Defect and System Documentation Management. You are not just a tool user; you are the designer of the framework that enables these processes. Govern Hybrid Landscapes: You will define the integration patterns required to link SAP-specific ALM components with the broader enterprise DevOps toolchain, ensuring a "clean core" strategy while managing the decommissioning of legacy SolMan/ChaRM environments.

Qualifications

Mastery of ALM Transition & Toolsets: 8+ years of total IT experience with Expert-level knowledge of legacy ALM (SolMan, Focused Build, ChaRM, Worksoft, Adonis) paired with the ability to architect migrations to SAP Cloud ALM. Developer Foundation: Strong background as a Developer (e.g., ABAP, OO-ABAP, Web Dynpro, or general software engineering). You must understand code logic, transport logs, APIs, and database structures to design custom ALM workarounds. SDLC & DevOps Proficiency: Deep understanding of ERP change management and transport layers, with a modern approach to API-first design and automated release orchestration. AI-Augmented Engineering: Competency in using AI-augmented engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, SAP Joule, or equivalent) to improve code quality, automate documentation, and design intelligent extensions that bridge functional gaps in standard SaaS offerings is good to have. Lifecycle Management: Proven track record of managing at least 2–3 full-scale ERP implementation or upgrade lifecycles, specifically focusing on the architectural trade-offs between "Standard" and "Custom" solutions. Strategic Compliance: Solid background in IT Service Management / ITIL, alongside experience in Computerized System Validation (CSV) and ICFR, ensuring custom-built ALM tools meet global regulatory standards. Global Architectural Leadership: Experience working in a large global company, demonstrating the ability to build consensus among diverse stakeholders. English Communication: Superior command of the English language (both written and verbal) is essential for collaborating with global stakeholders and presenting complex ALM strategies to leadership. Education: A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent. #RDT2026
