Job description
SAP Solutions Architect
Base pay range: $85.00/hr - $95.00/hr.
A highly experienced SAP Solution Architect is needed to lead the analysis, design, and optimization of our SAP ecosystem. The ideal candidate possesses extensive expertise in SAP platforms, tools, and integrations, and has a talent for translating complex business needs into innovative, scalable technical solutions. This role offers a strategic opportunity to shape and enhance our SAP landscape, improve existing implementations, and support growth initiatives across various business functions. If you’re driven to leverage your SAP mastery to make a meaningful impact, this is your chance to lead transformative change.
Key Responsibilities
Assessment & Documentation – Reverse‑engineer and analyze existing SAP implementations to document business capabilities, functional value streams, and processes, particularly within Accounting and Finance functions; translate complex business ecosystems into clear architectural documentation for both business and technical stakeholders.
Solution Design & Optimization – Leverage a comprehensive understanding of SAP functional features, ecosystem tools, partner systems, and integrations to inform decisions on current use cases and potential expansion; architect solutions that optimize SAP’s value to the business and ensure alignment with enterprise strategy.
Strategic & Technical Leadership – Provide both strategic and tactical leadership to proactively identify and mitigate risks/issues from technical and functional perspectives; lead technical discussions around Non‑Functional Requirements (NFRs), technology trade‑offs, and architectural decisions, ensuring alignment with enterprise priorities.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Alignment – Collaborate across teams with varying levels of SAP expertise, synthesizing complex information and guiding stakeholders to alignment; build consensus in challenging situations where multiple stakeholders may have conflicting priorities or goals.
Architecture Development & Presentation – Develop, present, and defend architecture designs across all layers—application, data, security, and infrastructure; clearly explain and justify architectural decisions to business leaders and peer architects in domains such as Security, Data, and Infrastructure.
Integration & Multi‑Style Architecture – Design and implement solutions that utilize diverse architectural patterns (e.g., 3‑tier, event‑driven, message‑driven) and various authentication/authorization and integration protocols; oversee integrations across SAP‑hosted, client‑hosted, and non‑SAP platforms, using SAP‑native and external integration methods.
Technology Evaluation & Ecosystem Expansion – Drive technical conversations on system performance, hosting strategies (cloud/on‑premises), security protocols, and integration strategies; evaluate emerging technologies and SAP ecosystem tools to recommend platform enhancements and expansion into additional business functions.
Implementation & Delivery Support – Actively support SDLC activities, including design reviews, code reviews, defining testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, and end‑to‑end monitoring frameworks; ensure delivery quality, scalability, and maintainability across SAP initiatives.
Multi‑Stack & Cloud Integration – Collaborate across multiple technology stacks, including cloud‑native solutions (AWS, Azure), AI/ML, Big Data platforms, and third‑party solutions; guide architecture decisions that balance SAP and non‑SAP technologies in hybrid enterprise landscapes.
