Job summary

Accenture is seeking an SAP Basis Manager in the United States to lead Basis workstreams on S/4HANA transformation projects. You will design and govern the SAP landscape, including HANA on Azure, implement HA/DR, and drive release governance across multi-system environments.

You will mentor a Basis team, coordinate with AMS and client stakeholders, and ensure go-live readiness while traveling as needed. A strong background in SAP Basis with S/4HANA experience is required.

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, and EarlyWatch Alert interpretation.
• 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.
• Bonus Points If: 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 — governance, Cloud Connector management, identity/authentication integration.
• Exposure to SAP Rise and BTP shared responsibility model.
• Experience integrating SAP Basis with enterprise ITSM platforms.

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. Travel may be required.
