About The Position

Agilent is seeking an experienced SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Architect to help define, govern, and enable enterprise architecture as part of our ERP modernization journey. This role focuses on Finance or Supply Chain capabilities and plays a central role in shaping future‑state architecture, guiding fit‑to‑standard decisions, and maintaining a pragmatic clean core approach across SAP S/4HANA and integrated systems. This position partners closely with business leaders, IT delivery teams, and governance forums to ensure solution scalability, integration alignment, and long‑term maintainability.

Requirements

8+ years of experience in SAP architecture or solution architecture, including significant hands‑on experience with SAP S/4HANA.
Deep functional and architectural expertise in either Finance or Supply Chain business processes.
Demonstrated experience defining enterprise architecture, integration strategies, and target‑state designs in complex environments.
Ability to communicate architectural concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Background in consulting or systems integration, with exposure to multiple SAP S/4HANA implementation approaches (greenfield, brownfield, or selective transition).
Experience with clean core governance, extensibility frameworks, and custom code reduction initiatives.
Familiarity with LeanIX, capability mapping, or dependency visualization tools.
Experience supporting SAP modernization assessments, including simplification items, readiness planning, or custom code impact analysis.

Responsibilities

Define and maintain future‑state enterprise architecture aligned to SAP S/4HANA‑enabled business capabilities and ERP roadmaps.
Lead architecture decision‑making for Finance (Record‑to‑Report, Order‑to‑Cash, Procure‑to‑Pay) or Supply Chain (Plan, Make, Deliver, inventory, logistics).
Establish and guide boundary application strategy, recommending when to replace, retain, or integrate satellite systems.
Define and enforce clean core architecture guardrails, using SAP‑recommended extensibility patterns and pragmatic exception governance.
Guide custom code strategy, including rationalization, remediation, and redesign to reduce technical debt and support S/4HANA adoption.
Ensure integration alignment across SAP and non‑SAP systems using standardized patterns and architectural principles.
Use enterprise architecture tools (such as LeanIX or equivalent) to provide transparency into dependencies, integrations, and rationalization opportunities.
Develop concise, executive‑ready architecture materials that clearly outline options, trade‑offs, and recommendations for governance and leadership forums.
