Responsibilities

Lead Basis workstream delivery across S/4HANA Greenfield, Brownfield conversions, 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. The amount of travel will vary from 0 to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.
