Job summary

Accenture’s SAP practice is seeking an experienced SAP Basis Manager to lead technical delivery on S/4HANA transformations and AMS engagements, owning landscape design, cutover planning, and go-live readiness from a platform perspective.

You will architect SAP HANA environments on Azure, drive HA/DR, governance of transports and releases, and mentor a team while engaging client stakeholders at technical and PM levels. Travel may be required.

Qualifications

Minimum 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 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 on Azure or equivalent hyperscaler environments.
Minimum of 2 years experience managing transport landscapes and release governance across multi-system, multi-track project environments.
Experience leading small-to-medium Basis teams (3–8 people) across project and AMS delivery models.

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.
