Senior SAP Solution Architect – SAP TM Transformation - Remote with some travel
About The Position
The Senior SAP Solution Architect / Chief Architect will own the end-to-end solution architecture for a global transformation from SAP LE-TRA to SAP TM in a complex, highly customized and integrated SAP landscape. The role leads discovery, fit-gap analysis, architecture options and proof-of-concept activities, then defines the target architecture and transition strategy across SAP TM, LE-TRA and S/4HANA. The architect owns solution design and integration principles across SAP TM, Blue Yonder TMS, WMS/PrIME/RTCIS, MIC and related systems, working with domain subject-matter experts. Responsibilities include redesigning shipment-centric LE-TRA processes for SAP TM’s FO/FU and event-based model, determining remediation for legacy custom objects and dependencies, and defining coexistence, migration, cutover and phased rollout architecture. The role leads the Design Authority, governs architectural decisions and exceptions, and supports global consistency, scalability and reuse across EMEA, Asia and NALA. It provides architectural leadership throughout the delivery lifecycle, translates architecture into scope, estimates, roadmaps and implementation approaches, and acts as a senior technical counterpart to architecture teams, product teams and vendors. This is a transformation architecture role rather than a standard greenfield or configuration-focused SAP TM implementation, program-management, Basis or infrastructure role.
