PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

SAP's key customers continuously extend and adapt their IT infrastructure and processes, to better serve evolving business needs while reducing cost and risk at the same time. SAP's Digital Business Services organization enables SAP's customers to consume SAP's recent innovations centered on a future-proof "digital core" SAP S/4HANA and modern next-generation cloud solutions as well as the SAP HANA Platform, and to effectively manage the transition from today's IT architecture.

Under the umbrella of the SAP Move program we enable customers in a scalable way and deliver relevant architecture guidance answering questions of how and what. The S/4 Hana Transformation Architect:

• Support customer in their architecture related S/4 transformation work ensuring continuity throughout the journey of defining a customer IT strategy and providing guidance in conceptual and architectural questions typical for an IT transformation by working closely with other SAP stakeholders

• Active delivery of SAP HANA Movement related strategy services, remotely and/or onsite

• Enable a cross customer / cross industry and cross regional perspective to architecture-related topics

EXPECTATIONS AND TASKS

Digital Transformation with S/4HANA is at the core cover both application-related topics but also IT strategy. The S/4 HANA Transformation Architect guides enterprises through the digital transformation by identifying drivers for change, mapping those drivers to enablers in terms of application components or non-functional qualities and deriving an industry & customer-specific target architecture. From there, a roadmap for a multi-step transition is derived. Following up on this initial transition roadmap, the Transformation Hub architect continuously supports selected customers into the execution phase, in the role of a trusted advisor.

As we are ramping up the Transformation hub operation, we will constantly have to define and refine processes and approach of the Transformation Hub itself. In this sense, you will actively shape concepts and content.

Besides those customer-related activities, the Service Architect Transformation Hub takes a leading role in refining and evolving the service methodology. This includes knowledge documentation and collecting learnings from the deliveries for re-use by the service development groups, to further improve the service concepts and service content. We expect a share of 40% directly customer billable activities, and 60% activities for front-office enablement, delivery support and concept work.

It is essential that the Service Architect Transformation Hub maintains a strong network within SAP Digital Business Services as well as SAP development; building up strategic working relationship across multiple locations will be critical.
