Job summary

The role requires 5+ years in SAP Basis, strong HA/DR experience, and leadership of small teams; Accenture offers a broad benefits package and a chance to work across cutting‑edge SAP technologies.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years experience in SAP Basis, with at least two full-cycle S/4HANA implementations or Brownfield conversions in a lead or co-lead capacity.
• Minimum of 3 years experience/deep hands‑on expertise in SAP HANA database administration on cloud infrastructure — memory architecture, HSR, backup strategy, performance tuning.
• Minimum of 2 years experience designing and executing SAP HA/DR solutions in Azure or equivalent hyperscaler environments.
• Minimum of 2 years experience managing transport landscapes and release governance across multi‑system, multi‑track project environments.
• Experience and proven track record of leading small‑to‑medium Basis teams (3–8 people) across project and AMS delivery models.
• Prior experience supporting the CMT Industry and clients
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years' work experience). If an Associate's Degree, minimum 6 years' work experience.
• Bonus Points If:
• You have a SAP certification in SAP Technology, HANA Administration, or SAP S/4HANA System Administration.
• You have experience with SAP BTP platform operations in a transformation context — subaccount governance, Cloud Connector management, and identity/authentication integration (SAP Cloud Identity Services).
• You have familiarity with SAP RISE and the BTP shared responsibility model, including what falls within vs. outside SAP‑managed scope.
• You have exposure to SAP IDoc/ALE operations, archiving frameworks, and data volume management at scale.
• You have experience integrating SAP Basis operations with enterprise ITSM platforms in SAP delivery contexts.
• You have experience with tools such as SLO, SNP and SLT
• You have scripting exposure (Python, Shell, or PowerShell) applied to Basis task automation or monitoring.
• You have functional understanding of SAP Finance (FI/CO), Supply Chain (MM/SD/EWM), or Manufacturing (PP/QM) to support cross‑functional platform triage and cutover planning.

Responsibilities

• Lead Basis workstream delivery across S/4HANA Greenfield, Brownfield conversion, BTP extension, and AMS engagements — owning the technical landscape design, cutover planning, and go-live readiness from a platform perspective.
• Architect and govern SAP HANA database environments on Azure (Mv2/Mv3) or equivalent hyperscaler infrastructure — including NUMA tuning, NSE tiering strategy, delta merge configuration, HSR topology, and backup/recovery design.
• Drive high-availability and disaster recovery implementation — HANA System Replication, Pacemaker clustering, Azure Site Recovery, and Azure Files integration — and validate failover readiness pre-go-live.
• Own transport and release governance — establishing CTS+/ChaRM workflows, transport lanes, and release calendar alignment with project and AMS delivery teams; integrating with CI/CD pipelines where DevOps practices are in scope.
• Serve as the primary Basis escalation point for P1/P2 incidents during project hypercare and AMS steady state — leading RCA, coordinating cross‑functional resolution, and authoring post‑incident reviews (PIRs).
• Lead and develop a team of Basis consultants — assigning work, reviewing deliverables, running technical knowledge transfers, and building capability across junior and mid‑level engineers.
• Engage client stakeholders at the technical lead and project manager level — providing landscape status updates, risk flags, and platform readiness assessments.
