Job description

SAP SolutionArchitect

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end SAP solution architecture across SAP S/4HANA RISE and SuccessFactors, ensuring alignment with Certis’ target operating model, enterprise architecture standards, and long-term digitalroadmap rather than a technical re-implementation of current SAP ECC.
• Translate complex business requirements into scalable, secure, and compliant SAP solutions, leveraging SAP best practices while balancing functional fit, extensibility, controls, and reporting requirements.
• Act as the architectural authority to challenge, validate, and approve System Integrator (SI) designs and proposals, ensuring solutions address true business capabilities and outcomes rather than convenience-driven “standard” configurations.
• Drive a Clean Core strategy, maximising standardisation and fit-to-standard adoption; identify functional gaps and define appropriate extensibility options using in-app extensibility and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
• Establish and govern architectural design decisions, maintaining a structured decision log capturing options considered, decisions made, rationale, deviations from standards, and downstream impacts; embed this within overall programme governance.
• Define the enterprise reporting and analytics architecture, ensuring SAP data structures, master data, and transactional models support central data platforms, regulatory reporting, and management insights.
• Review and govern data migration strategy, including data scope definition, data quality rules, validation controls, reconciliation processes, and exception handling to ensure business readiness at cutover.
• Define and govern integration architecture and approach of SAP SuccessFactors with S/4 HANA RISE, Workforce Rostering Solutions and other 3rd party systems ensuring secure, resilient and scalable integrations aligned with Certis Technology Architecture Governance Framework.
• Partner with business and technology stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, ensuring architectural decisions balance business value, risk, cost, and long-term sustainability.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of SAP experience, with the last 4 years in SAP S/4HANA & SuccessFactors implementations in complex enterprise environments.

• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture governance, risk, controls, and regulatory considerations in complex organisations.
• Solid understanding of SAP integration patterns and tools (e.g. SAP CPI / Integration Suite) and SAP Fiori configuration and extensibility.
• Proven ability to govern System Integrators and influence senior stakeholders through clear architectural guidance and decision-making.
• SAP or enterprise architecture certifications (e.g. S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, BTP, TOGAF) preferred.
