• Serve as executive escalation point across all technical and functional streams; manage senior stakeholders (CHRO, CIO, VP HR) through design decisions and change requests.
• Lead pre-sales engagements: solution demonstrations, RFP/RFI responses, effort and cost estimation, commercial scoping, and proposal development for large enterprise pursuits.
• Drive practice capability: establish architecture standards, reusable solution patterns, and accelerators; mentor senior consultants and managers across SF module specialisations.

Technical Skills — Required

• Employee Central architecture: EC data model (Foundation Objects, MDF, Business Rules, Associations, Picklists), position management, global benefits, time management, and localisation frameworks.
• Integration architecture: SAP BTP Integration Suite (iFlows, API Management), Integration Center, Dell Boomi, MuleSoft — design patterns for real-time and batch HR data flows.
• OData v2/v4 API design: entity modelling, $expand/$filter query optimisation, OAuth 2.0 / SAML 2.0 authentication, and API security governance for SuccessFactors.
• Payroll integration: deep knowledge of EC-to-ECP replication, EC-to-SAP Payroll delta reporting, and third-party payroll connector (ADP, Ceridian, Ramco) design.
• Data migration tooling: SFSF data migration templates, Compound Employee API, bulk import/export framework, and delta migration reconciliation methodologies.
• Security architecture: enterprise-grade RBP design, single sign-on (SSO/SAML), data privacy controls (GDPR, DPDP, PDPA), and audit trail configuration.
• SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and People Analytics: cross-suite KPI architecture, live data connection design, and executive workforce dashboard governance.
