Own the SAP technical architecture and engineering strategy across ABAP, BTP, BASIS, integrations, extensibility, and platform operations.

Define technical patterns and guardrails for SAP configuration, custom development, workflows, forms, reports, interfaces, conversions, enhancements, and extensions.

Partner with functional architects and product teams to convert business requirements into scalable technical designs and accurate delivery estimates.
Review and approve technical designs and ensure solutions meet requirements for performance, scalability, security, controls, resilience, supportability, and cost.
Develop technical roadmaps, architecture documents, decision materials, and executive updates that communicate priorities, risks, trade-offs, and required investments.
Evaluate emerging SAP and generative AI capabilities and identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity, user experience, automation, monitoring, and support.
