We're looking for a talented SAP Solution Architect to define, govern and deliver the SAP architecture that underpins this critical initiative.

This is a unique opportunity to work across business and technology teams, influencing strategic decisions, driving best practice, and ensuring solutions are scalable, secure and fit for the future.

• Design and document solution architectures, interfaces, data flows and technical decisions
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, IT teams, delivery partners and suppliers
• Provide architectural guidance across integration, data migration, testing, cutover and service transition activities
• Ensure solutions meet security, compliance, performance, resilience and supportability requirements
• Identify architectural risks, technical debt and design conflicts, providing practical recommendations and governance
• Review supplier designs and support technical workshops throughout delivery
• Enable successful handover to support teams through strong documentation and knowledge transfer

• Experience reviewing supplier designs and governing architectural standards
• Knowledge of testing, deployment, cutover and transition-to-support activities
• Excellent stakeholder management skills across business and technical teams
• Experience managing technical risk, governance and architectural decision-making

Desirable

• Experience within manufacturing, logistics, order management, dispatch or operational environments
• SAP Architecture or SAP solution certifications
• Experience supporting large-scale business transformation programmes

You'll thrive in this role if you are:

✅ Architecturally rigorous and detail-focused
✅ Pragmatic and delivery-minded
✅ Confident challenging assumptions and driving best-practice solutions
✅ An exceptional communicator with both technical and non-technical audiences
✅ Collaborative, influential and able to build strong relationships across diverse teams
