• Lead design workshops, resolve complex architectural challenges, and provide expert guidance to cross-functional teams of business analysts, developers, and project managers.
• Effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, from senior executives to end-users, to build consensus and drive decision-making.
• Mentor junior architects and consultants, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to pre-sales activities, including solution demonstrations, effort estimation, and proposal development.
• Required Skills and Experience:
• A minimum of 12-15 years of experience in SAP consulting and implementation, with a deep focus on the Project System (PS) module.
• A minimum of 5 years in a Solution Architect or Lead Consultant role, with a proven track record of designing large-scale enterprise solutions.
• Demonstrated experience leading the solution design for at least two full-cycle SAP S/4HANA implementations in a project-based, ETO/MTO manufacturing environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
• Expert-level, hands-on configuration and solution design experience in both the logistical (PS-LOG) and financial (PS-FIN) aspects of SAP Project Systems.
• Deep expertise in Project Manufacturing Management and Optimization (PMMO) and a strong understanding of the principles of its predecessor, Grouping, Pegging, and Distribution (GPD).
• Proven experience integrating SAP Variant Configuration (both classic LO-VC and S/4HANA AVC) with Project Systems to drive project creation and execution from sales orders.
• Strong understanding of the integration points between PS and other core modules, including MM, PP, SD, and CO.
• Experience designing and implementing integration solutions between SAP and external systems (e.g., Primavera P6, Deltek Cobra) using technologies such as SAP BTP Integration Suite, APIs, and IDocs.
• Current SAP S/4HANA certifications are highly preferred.

Desired Competencies:

• Exceptional strategic thinking and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Superior communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and build trust at all organizational levels.
