Job Description

Senior Manager – SAP Solution Architect

Join a global professional services leader at the forefront of SAP-enabled transformation. We help clients reimagine their businesses through cutting-edge S/4HANA programmes — and we’re looking for a strategic, hands-on SAP Solution Architect to shape, sell, and deliver impactful change.

What You’ll Do

• Architect end-to-end SAP solutions that solve real business challenges.
• Lead and contribute to major SAP bids, ensuring solution integrity and client confidence.
• Drive the transition from sales to delivery — de-risking programmes through strong design leadership.
• Act as the trusted advisor to clients and internal teams across industries and geographies.
• Mentor junior talent and contribute to capability development across the SAP practice.

What You Bring

• Deep SAP expertise across key S/4HANA functional areas (e.g. Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing), with strong cross-module integration understanding.
• End-to-end delivery experience on complex SAP transformations, ideally in a consulting environment.
• Solution architecture leadership—able to define target architectures, guide design, and ensure overall coherence.
• Pre-sales and bid leadership, including shaping proposals, responding to RFPs/ITTs, and presenting to senior stakeholders.
• Stakeholder management excellence, with the ability to engage at C-level, influence decision-making, and coordinate across multi-disciplinary teams.
• Familiarity with adjacent SAP tools such as BTP, Ariba, IBP, SuccessFactors or SAP Analytics.
• Commercial awareness, balancing innovation, feasibility, and value creation.
• Growth mindset — proactive, curious, and committed to continuous learning and team development.

Why should you apply?

• Be part of a globally recognised SAP powerhouse with hundreds of successful S/4HANA implementations.
• Work on large-scale, high-impact projects alongside industry leaders and domain experts.
• Access unmatched career progression, training, and international opportunities.
• Thrive in a collaborative, inclusive, and innovation-driven culture.
