SAP Enterprise Architect

We are launching a high-visibility digital transformation program to migrate our legacy Oracle EBS ecosystem across 100+ legal entities to SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud via RISE. We need an accomplished client-side Enterprise Architect to own the blueprint, govern System Integrators, and enforce a strict Clean Core architecture.

• Data & Analytics: Govern global MDM (ChainSys), UAE PDPL compliance, and unified reporting via SAP Datasphere & Power BI.

• Experience: 15 to 18+ years total IT experience, with 8+ years leading client-side SAP S/4HANA architectures.
• Migration Proven: Track record in complex Oracle EBS to SAP S/4HANA transformations.
• Tech Stack: Deep knowledge of S/4HANA Cloud (RISE), SAP Activate, BTP, CPI, Datasphere, and core modules (FICO, MM, SD, PS, Ariba, SuccessFactors).
• GCC Statutory: Experience with GCC statutory mandates (UAE Corporate Tax, WPS, e-invoicing) is good to have.

Education & Certs: Bachelor's degree (Executive MBA preferred);

• SAP Professional Certifications are a MUST. (TOGAF 9, PMP/PRINCE2, or Cloud Architect certifications preferred)
• Leadership: strong CXO-level communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
