Job description

KPMG's Powered Enterprise is a world-class accelerated Enterprise Business Transformation framework for cloud-based solutions, covering all 6 layers of a customer's Target Operating Model. It helps clients make better, faster decisions, leading to positive business outcomes, reduced implementation efforts, and improved ROI. It combines business consulting, technology capabilities, and insights into a comprehensive solution for intelligent enterprises.

The Powered Apps teams are communities of business and technology professionals who deliver KPMG Powered Enterprise through a standardised delivery model. They leverage functional knowledge (e.g., Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement), technology expertise (e.g., S/4HANA, CFin, RISE, BTP, MDG), and SAP SaaS applications (e.g., Ariba, SuccessFactors) to enable successful SAP-driven business transformations.

The Role

We are seeking a senior SAP Data Director to focus on business development, practice and asset building, and delivery of SAP-enabled transformations. This high-profile role involves business development, sales origination, practice development, and client delivery. It offers a unique opportunity to shape the SAP business within a Big4 firm.

Successful candidates will be expected to:

• Drive origination and lead pre-sales activities (RFP responses, direct awards, etc.), engage with senior stakeholders (typically CxOs), and manage bid teams with limited support.
• Possess commercial acumen to propose proposal constructs and defend the rationale during reviews with partners.
• Enhance KPMG Powered Enterprise offerings, focusing on deployable assets, demos, accelerators with clear ROI, automation, clean core, and AI.
• Author external KPMG whitepapers and thought leadership pieces.
• Maintain regular interactions with SAP for insights into future roadmaps, aligning joint target accounts, and guiding KPMG's offerings.
• Attract, recruit, train, and retain top talent.
• Serve as the senior data architect for complex engagements with flagship accounts.

The Person

KPMG's SAP business is rapidly growing, seeking self-driven candidates with proven experience and enthusiasm to shape the SAP practice within a Big4 environment.

Ideal candidates will have:

• Extensive experience in selling and delivering SAP Data domains: migration, orchestration, and cultivation.
• Strong knowledge of SAP Migration Cockpit, SAP MDG, SAP Data Services, and awareness of SAP's future roadmap.
• Experience with third-party tools (e.g., Syniti, SNP) in data migration and carve-outs is a plus.
• Delivered 4+ end-to-end SAP programs as a lead.
• Experience selling and delivering SAP projects under RISE contracts, from sales to implementation.
• A proven track record in leading complex bids involving S/4HANA and other SAP and non-SAP technologies, managing SMEs and delivery teams.
• Experience collaborating regularly with SAP on future roadmap and co-innovation.
• Experience managing onshore and offshore teams.
• Understanding of SAP's AI roadmap and experience creating assets leveraging AI for customer benefit.
• Built assets and accelerators deployed across multiple clients.
