About The Position

We are seeking a senior SAP S/4HANA Security Architect to lead the security workstream for our brownfield migration. This person will own security impact analysis, role redesign, Fiori and HANA security implementation, and SoD/risk management using Security Weaver (Pathlock) as the primary governance tool. Experience with SAP GRC Access Control is also acceptable where Security Weaver exposure is limited.

Requirements

• Minimum 2–3 full lifecycle ECC → S/4HANA brownfield migration projects (hands-on conversion experience).
• Direct, hands-on execution of SU25 (Phases 1–4) and role retrofit activities during conversion.
• Fiori security implementation experience: catalogs, groups, business roles, OData activation, SICF.
• Enterprise role redesign and remediation at scale (analysis and remediation of 1,000 roles preferred).
• SAP Readiness Check and Simplification Item Catalog impact analysis experience.
• Hands-on experience with Security Weaver (Pathlock) OR SAP GRC Access Control for SoD analysis, simulation, remediation, and reporting.
• Strong understanding of SoD rule design and risk mitigation strategy during ECC → S/4 transitions.

Nice To Haves

• 10 years of SAP Security experience (ECC and S/4HANA).
• Proven track record in 2 ECC → S/4HANA brownfield conversions.
• Experience with Security Weaver (Pathlock) strongly preferred.
• SAP GRC Access Control experience in complex enterprise environments.
• Experience working in SOX/ITGC-regulated environments and preparing audit evidence.
• Strong communication skills and ability to lead cross-functional workshops.
• SAP Security experience across BI/BW, including analysis authorizations and reporting security.
• SAP Security experience with EWM and GTS strongly preferred.
• Experience with SAP BTP security, including IAS/IPS, role collections, trust/SSO, and hybrid cloud/on-premise environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead SAP security strategy and execution for ECC → S/4HANA transformation (brownfield conversion).
• Perform role impact analysis, cleanup, and remediation; execute SU25 conversion steps and validate role behavior in S/4.
• Design and implement a Fiori-first security model (catalogs, groups, business roles) and secure OData/SICF services.
• Configure and manage Security Weaver (Pathlock) controls; alternatively align SAP GRC rule sets where applicable.
• Migrate SoD rule sets and control frameworks from ECC to S/4; define interim compensating controls.
• Conduct workshops with functional teams (FI/CO/MM/SD/EWM), Basis, Development, and Audit to validate security models.
• Support cutover, security testing, and post-go-live authorization validation and stabilization.
