Solutions Architect

Description

As a senior Solutions Architect, you will drive architecture for complex, cross-functional supply chain

initiatives - taking full ownership from concept through delivery. This is a deeply hands-on role: you

will roll up your sleeves to lead implementation, pick up the most complex projects from inception to go-live, and be accountable for the results. You set the architectural direction, guide the team through every phase of delivery, and own the outcomes. This role demands creating a strategic vision and ground-level technical execution: the ability to shape long-range architecture roadmaps while staying close enough to the work to resolve the hardest problems and hold the bar on quality. You will be a trusted thought leader, a bridge between business strategy and technology execution, and a champion for innovation - including the rapidly evolving space of agentic AI and autonomous process automation.

Responsibilities:

Enterprise Architecture Leadership: Serve as the senior lead architect for cross-functional

business and IT initiatives - defining end-to-end solution architecture across SAP S/4HANA and

SAP BTP at enterprise scale, with an uncompromising focus on scalability, resilience, and long-term

maintainability.

S/4HANA Transformation: Drive enterprise-wide SAP S/4HANA transformation across Quote-to-

Cash, Order Management, Procurement-to-Pay, Inventory & Materials Management, and Logistics

Execution - ensuring architectural decisions are anchored in business outcomes and future-state

readiness.

SAP BTP Innovation: Architect innovative supply chain solutions leveraging the full SAP BTP

capability set - including SAP Build, Integration Suite, RPA, AI/ML (SAP Joule), BDC, and Event Mesh - designing for composability, extensibility, and organizational scalability.

Agentic AI-Explore, Ideate & Build: Lead the exploration, ideation, and proof-of-concept

development of agentic AI solutions with the SAP and other ecosystem. Design autonomous, multi-

step AI agent workflows that reduce non-value-added human touch-points, surface intelligent

recommendations, and enable self-correcting supply chain processes. Evaluate emerging agentic

frameworks, MCP-based tool integrations, and LLM-orchestration patterns for enterprise

applicability and scaled deployment.

Team Collaboration & Architectural Mentorship: Foster a high-performance architecture culture

by collaborating with and mentoring other solution designers. Act as an architectural anchor across

globally distributed, cross-functional teams - ensuring alignment, shared ownership, and

consistent delivery standards that elevate the entire team's capability.

Integration Architecture: Lead the design of complex integration scenarios across SAP and non-

SAP systems - applying API-first, micro-services, and event-driven architectural principles to build

robust, loosely coupled, and auditable integrations.

Governance & Best Practices: Define and institutionalize enterprise architecture governance

models, reusable solution frameworks, and design standards that reduce delivery risk, accelerate

team velocity, and ensure solution quality at scale.

Trusted Executive Advisor: Partner with senior business and IT leadership as a credible,

authoritative advisor - translating complex technology capabilities into clear strategic

recommendations, influencing roadmap decisions, and building executive-level alignment on

architectural direction.

Change Management & Adoption: Champion organizational change in partnership with senior

leadership - building executive alignment, communicating architectural rationale with clarity, and

driving adoption of SAP-led transformations across global, multi-cultural stakeholder groups.

Preferred Qualifications

• SAP BTP certifications and SAP Functional/Technical certifications (e.g., SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP

Integration Suite, SAP Build, SAP AI Core)

Six Sigma, PMP, or equivalent delivery excellence certification

Experience in Big 4 Consulting or equivalent enterprise architecture advisory roles - with a track

record of shaping client technology strategy at the executive level

Demonstrated thought leadership in agentic AI and intelligent automation - including conference

presentations, published frameworks, internal communities of practice, or contribution to open-

source agentic tooling

Advanced experience in SAP AI/ML and agentic AI use cases for supply chain optimization, demand

sensing, autonomous order management, or logistics intelligence

Minimum Qualifications

Senior Architecture Experience: Proven tenure as a senior Solutions Architect with a deep

enterprise architecture mindset - commanding both the strategic altitude to set direction and the

technical depth to validate and guide implementation decisions across SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP. Enterprise Transformation Track Record: Demonstrated success leading large-scale, enterprise-

wide transformations - delivering solutions that are scalable, stable, resilient, and consistently

grounded in measurable business and customer outcomes.

Business Process Engineering: Deep expertise in business process re-engineering, including

complex platform migrations and process redesign across global supply chain domains, with a

strong command of translating business strategy into architectural requirements.

SAP BTP Proficiency: Hands-on experience with SAP BTP technologies - including SAP

Integration Suite, SAP Build, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP AI Core, and SAP Joule - with the ability to

architect full-stack BTP solutions from design through production.

SAP Functional Domains: Proven experience designing and integrating solutions across core SAP

functional areas: Sales & Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Inventory Management,

Procurement, and Logistics Execution.

Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation: Demonstrated experience exploring, ideating, and building

agentic AI solutions in an enterprise context - including multi-agent orchestration, LLM-integrated

automation pipelines, tool-use APIs, and MCP-based workflow frameworks. Ability to assess

emerging agentic platforms (such as SAP AI Core agents, AutoGen, LangGraph, or equivalent) and

articulate adoption strategies aligned with enterprise SAP architecture principles.

Modern Architectural Principles: Strong command of API-first design, micro-services architecture,

event-driven patterns, and cloud-native development - applied at scale in complex, multi-system

enterprise environments.

Senior Stakeholder Leadership: Proven ability to lead architectural discussions at senior and

executive levels - driving consensus, influencing without authority, and aligning diverse, globally

distributed stakeholder groups around a shared technical vision.

Executive Communication: Exceptional ability to distill complex architectural concepts into clear,

compelling narratives for business leadership - adapting depth and framing to the audience

without sacrificing accuracy or strategic clarity.

Global Team Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading and collaborating with globally
