  • Evaluate and implement the right SAP BTP cloud and Generative AI services to deliver modern, scalable, and intelligent cloud-based solutions for clients.
  • Demonstrate depth across all SAP BTP pillars—Extensibility, Integration, Data, Automation, and AI—designing architectures that leverage GenAI, AI Core, and Joule capabilities across complex enterprise landscapes.
  • Plan and facilitate design-thinking and AI ideation workshops to identify cloud, GenAI, and modern UI use cases that deliver tangible business value.
  • Help clients define future-ready technology roadmaps and target architectures, incorporating user-centric, AI-led, and GenAI-powered innovations on SAP BTP.
  • Solve complex issues in Application Development & Integration using services like SAP Build, SAP Integration Suite etc.
  • Advise clients on intelligent automation and AI adoption, including Generative AI, RPA, Machine Learning, and Agent-based solutions, aligned to SAP’s Business AI strategy.
  • Capable of supporting business development and sales initiatives including bid and proposal support in SAP Cloud Platform & Technology services
The Person
  • Demonstrable experience delivering end‑to‑end SAP S/4HANA Cloud transformation programmes within a consulting environment, including complex, multi‑system landscapes.
  • Strong knowledge of SAP S/4HANA technology architecture across the full stack, including application development, integration, security, infrastructure, SAP BTP, and AI / Generative AI best practices.
  • Proven SAP Technology Architecture leadership, including designing architectures, leading technical delivery teams, and deploying solutions; at least two full S/4HANA lifecycle implementations preferred.
  • Experience producing high‑quality architecture artefacts such as Architecture Blueprints, Integration Architecture Diagrams, Extensibility Strategies, and AI / GenAI solution designs.
  • Hands‑on experience architecting and delivering at least one enterprise‑grade AI or Generative AI solution on SAP BTP (beyond proof‑of‑concept), with demonstrated scalability, security, and operational readiness.
  • Practical experience with SAP HANA Cloud, SAP AI Core, and Generative AI architectures, including RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) frameworks, vector embeddings, and knowledge graph–based approaches.
  • Ability to design scalable AI solutions on SAP BTP that integrate seamlessly with existing SAP and non‑SAP landscapes, including S/4HANA, ECC, SuccessFactors, and external systems.
  • Experience advising clients on intelligent technologies, including Generative AI, Machine Learning, RPA, and agent‑based architectures, aligned to SAP’s Business AI and Joule strategy.
  • Demonstrable experience in leading and supporting pre‑sales activities, including RFP responses, solution shaping, demos, and senior client engagements, particularly for SAP BTP and AI‑led propositions.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to simplify complex problems, translate business needs into technology architectures, and make pragmatic design decisions.
  • Experience in facilitating design, architecture, and AI ideation workshops, and translating outcomes into actionable solution designs and delivery plans.
  • Ability to build trusted client relationships through subject‑matter expertise, thought leadership, and consistent quality of delivery.
  • Proven capability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams, including functional, data, integration, AI, and cloud engineering teams.
