At Under Armour, we are committed to empowering those who strive for more, and the company's values - Act Sustainably, Celebrate the Wins, Fight on Together, Love Athletes and Stand for Equality - serve as both a roadmap for our teams and the qualities expected of every teammate.

Our Values define and unite us, the beliefs that are the red thread that connects everyone at Under Armour. Our values are rallying cries, reminding us why we're here, and fueling everything we do.

Our pursuit of better begins with innovation and with our team's mission of being the best. With us, you get the freedom to go further - no matter your role. That means developing, delivering, and selling the state-of-the-art products and digital tools that make top performers even better.

Under Armour is embarking on a multiyear global transformation from SAP FMS to SAP S/4HANA for Fashion & Vertical Business to modernize our core processes across Finance, Product, Supply Chain, Retail/Wholesale, and Digital Commerce. As a Principal Solutions Architect, you will be the end-to-end architecture lead for both transformation and run model of SAP S/4HANA in a standard-first mindset. You will map current and target business processes to SAP standard capabilities, applying a fit-to-standard design and rare, value-backed exception approval. You will be designing an SAP Clean Core target state, guiding execution through go-live and hypercare, and then advancing a durable run/operate model and multiyear roadmap that maximizes value from the SAP platform - S/4HANA, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Integration, SAP GTS, SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR), SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). You’ll establish best practices and strategies for Joule and other AI tooling integrated with our overall ERP environment. You’ll translate complex concepts into crisp narratives, visuals, and diagrams for audiences ranging from the ELT to domain SMEs, and you’ll be a visible steward of UA’s values in how we deliver change.
