Job description

The successful SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Solution Architect will take ownership of end-to-end solution design and drive successful outcomes across complex, multi-workstream SAP programmes. You will act as a trusted advisor to our clients, ensuring solutions align with SAP Public Cloud principles while meeting real-world business needs.

Codestone is a leading SAP and Microsoft partner, specialising in finance-led digital transformation for mid-market organisations. As our SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud practice continues to grow, we are looking for experienced Solution Architects to play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering high-quality, future-proof SAP solutions for our clients.

About the Role

This role works in a hybrid way, with occasional meetings with team members or clients in our London or Poole office, as well as attending client sites as required.

What You Will Be Doing

• Designing robust, scalable, and high-performing SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud solutions that maximise standard functionality while addressing client-specific requirements.
• Partnering closely with clients to translate complex business and finance requirements into pragmatic, fit-for-purpose solution designs.
• Leading conversations around configuration vs extensibility, enabling informed decision‑making aligned to Public Cloud best practices and long‑term sustainability.
• Ensuring solution architectures meet regulatory, security, data residency, and compliance requirements, particularly across finance‑critical processes.
• Providing architectural leadership across project teams, mentoring consultants and senior team members to drive capability uplift and consistent delivery quality.
• Contributing to the ongoing evolution of Codestone’s SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud practice, including defining standards, methodologies, accelerators, and the future direction of our finance‑led offerings.

About Your Experience

• Proven experience designing and delivering SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud solutions (not on‑premise or private cloud).
• Strong finance‑focused background, ideally supported by an accounting qualification and/or extensive hands‑on experience delivering SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA Finance (FICO) implementations.
• Deep understanding of SAP standard scope, configuration boundaries, and approved extensibility options within the Public Cloud model.
• Strong knowledge of SAP Best Practices, Business Process Content, and fit‑to‑standard methodologies.
• Experience delivering across full project lifecycles, including design, build, testing, deployment, and post go‑live support.
• Confidence engaging senior finance, business, and IT stakeholders, with excellent communication and influencing skills.
• Comfortable working across agile, hybrid, and traditional delivery models.
• Experience working with mid‑market organisations is advantageous.
• Work with a highly respected SAP practice focused on finance‑led transformation
• Influence the future direction of our SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud offering
• Collaborative, people‑first culture with strong emphasis on quality and innovation
• Opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and thought leadership
