Description du poste

Capgemini is strengthening its SAP architecture capability to support major transformation programmes across the UK Public Sector. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in shaping and delivering enterprise-scale SAP solutions that underpin critical government services and national programmes.

We are looking for SAP Solution Architects with deep SAP platform expertise and strong delivery leadership experience. You will operate across the full solution lifecycle - from early shaping and design, through build and deployment, to live service - ensuring that solutions are robust, secure and aligned to both client outcomes and SAP best practice.

Our SAP architects act as trusted technical leaders, working closely with clients, delivery teams and partners to design solutions that balance functional fit, technical integrity and long-term sustainability. You will help clients modernise complex ERP landscapes, including SAP S/4HANA transformations, integrations with wider enterprise ecosystems and adoption of modern SAP capabilities.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including:
identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Your role

As an SAP Solution Architect, you will take accountability for the end-to-end solution design and provide architectural leadership throughout delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting early lifecycle activities, including solution shaping, estimates and commercial proposals
• Producing end-to-end SAP solution architectures covering functional design, technical architecture, integration, data and security (for both brownfield and greenfield solutions)
• Leading the design of SAP-based solutions across S/4HANA, ECC and associated SAP platforms and services
• Advising clients on SAP best practices, deployment options and target architectures aligned to their business strategy
• Confidently presenting complex solutions and architectures, easily translating content for a broad stakeholder group
• Owning architecture decisions and ensuring adherence to agreed architecture governance, design standards and delivery controls
• Working closely with delivery managers, functional leads and technical teams to safely deliver solutions into live operation
• Managing dependencies across SAP modules, non-SAP systems and third-party products in complex enterprise landscapes
• Building strong, trusted-advisor relationships with client stakeholders through clarity, credibility and constructive challenge
• Engaging with SAP and other partners/vendors to ensure solutions remain aligned with customer strategy, product roadmaps and best practice
• Owning technical risk, issue management and resolution within your solution scope and beyond
• Actively contributing to Capgemini’s SAP and Architecture communities, sharing knowledge and developing practice capability

Your skills and experience

• You will bring strong SAP architecture experience and credibility in front of senior stakeholders and the ability to lead delivery in complex, regulated environments.
• Able to achieve UK Government Security Check (SC) clearance.
• We are looking for demonstrable experience in:
• Designing and delivering SAP solutions at enterprise scale, ideally within Public Sector or similarly complex organisations
• SAP S/4HANA (PCE or On-Premise) architectures, including brownfield, greenfield, or hybrid transformation approaches
• Strong understanding of SAP functional domains (e.g. Finance, Contract Accounting, PSCD/Utilities), with the ability to design cross-functional solutions
• SAP technical architecture, including landscape design, security, identity management, data management, networks, environments, transport strategy and non-functional requirements
• Integration of SAP with wider enterprise ecosystems using SAP Integration Suite, APIs, middleware, or event-driven approaches
• Data considerations within SAP programmes, including migration, data quality and cutover planning
• Modern delivery approaches such as Agile, DevOps, CI/CD and structured test and release management
• Delivery across on‑premise, cloud and hybrid SAP environments including SAP RISE awareness/experience
• Leading and setting direction for multi-disciplinary delivery teams and managing technical deliverables
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, particularly when explaining complex architectural decisions
• Confident decision-making, issue management and prioritisation aligned to delivery constraints and long-term client strategy
• Resilience and adaptability in fast-moving programmes with changing priorities
• Calm, measured and collaborative in high-intensity situations where critical problem-solving is required (e.g. P1 incidents)
• Strong commercial awareness including building proposals and delivering to both time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts
• The following experience would be advantageous:
• Experience working with SAP RISE, SAP BTP, or cloud-hosted SAP environments
• Exposure to SAP security and authorisation design, including role concepts and compliance considerations
• Experience contributing to large-scale SAP bids, proposals, or solution shaping activities
• Understanding of how extension or emerging capabilities (e.g. automation, analytics, or AI-enabled services) complement SAP solutions
• Experience operating within formal design authorities or governance boards

Personal Attributes

• We are looking for architects who combine technical authority with strong interpersonal skills and a delivery mindset.
• You are likely to be:
• A confident technical leader who takes ownership and accountability for outcomes
• Comfortable challenging assumptions and influencing decisions with evidence, empathy and pragmatism
• Client-focused, with the strong desire to deliver solutions that genuinely improve outcomes
• Collaborative and inclusive, able to work effectively across functional, technical and commercial teams
• Calm under pressure, with the resilience to manage risk and complexity
• Curious and motivated to stay current with SAP’s evolving roadmap and delivery approaches
