• Strong knowledge of enterprise integration technologies and patterns, including EDI, IDoc, XML, SAP PO and event-driven integration

• Excellent stakeholder communication and advisory skills; ability to act as a trusted advisor, articulate architectural trade-offs, and drive discovery and solution decision-making

Roles & Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end solution architecture for the global LE-TRA → SAP TM transformation
• Lead Discovery / Phase 0, fit-gap analysis, architecture option assessment and PoC activities
• Define the target architecture and transition strategy across SAP TM, LE-TRA and S/4HANA

• End-to-end program/project management ownership
• A configuration-focused / cookbook SAP TM implementation profile
• SAP Basis, infrastructure or TM installation expertise
• Deep hands-on expertise in individual third-party platforms — domain SMEs will supplement the architect where required
