How you will create an impact:

• Architecture Design & Solution Engineering: Design and document technical architecture concepts for IT systems within a complex SaaS, PaaS, and SAP S/4HANA landscape, translating business requirements, BPM inputs, and operational needs into solution designs, architecture options, interface concepts, and implementation guidance.
• Enterprise Integration & AI-Enabled Solutions: Define integration approaches for SAP S/4HANA, AI-enabled systems, cloud applications, APIs, workflow platforms, and other enterprise services, including assessment of data flows, automation logic, service orchestration, governance requirements, and operational monitoring.
• Business Process & Technical Alignment: Collaborate closely with BPM specialists to ensure that technical architecture supports end-to-end process requirements, workflow lifecycles, and scalable production operations. Infrastructure, Security & Operational Readiness: Work with IT infrastructure specialists, application owners, and security-related stakeholders to align architecture concepts with performance, scalability, resilience, compliance, and operational requirements.
• Project Delivery & Technical Planning: Support agile and hybrid project delivery by contributing to epics, solution designs, technical dependencies, decision papers, backlog refinement and delivery planning.
• Architecture Documentation & Decision Support: Create and maintain architecture documentation, including context diagrams, integration views, interface descriptions, decision logs, requirements mappings, and implementation guardrails, while preparing and presenting presentations, recommendation papers, and decision materials for stakeholders and senior management.
• Vendor Management & Procurement Support: Support RFP processes and vendor selection activities by defining technical requirements, evaluation criteria, solution scope, and architecture-related questions, while ensuring technical alignment, documentation quality, delivery transparency, and adherence to contractual responsibilities.
• Risk Management & Governance: Identify architecture risks, integration gaps, unclear ownership boundaries, and lifecycle weaknesses, coordinating resolutions with responsible teams and suppliers.
• Production Lifecycle & Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the development of scalable production lifecycles, including change readiness, testing considerations, operational handover, monitoring requirements and the continuous improvement of architecture standards and patterns.
