About The Position

The SAP COE Solution Architect serves as the technical authority and first line of defense for SAP solution design across critical end-to-end processes (Material, Inventory, Order-to-Cash). This role operates as the linchpin between the SAP Business Process Owner (business accountability) and SAP Operations (execution and master data integrity), ensuring that business priorities are translated into scalable, compliant, and architecturally sound SAP solutions. The Solution Architect protects system stability while enabling business agility — harmonizing process intent, system configuration, and operational execution across CMC, Supply Chain, Finance, and Digital. This is a high-impact role requiring deep SAP expertise, enterprise integration thinking, governance discipline, and strong cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Own SAP solution architecture across Material, Inventory, and Order-to-Cash processes, translating business requirements into scalable, compliant, and enterprise-aligned system designs that protect long-term stability and integration integrity.

• Lead SAP design governance and impact assessment, acting as first line of defense for system quality, compliance (GxP/SOX), audit readiness, and risk mitigation before changes are deployed.
• Ensure end-to-end architectural coherence across SAP modules and external systems, designing solutions with full visibility to upstream and downstream dependencies across Plan-Source-Make-Deliver.
• Drive technical simplification, global standardization, and automation opportunities within SAP to enable scalable, sustainable, and AI-ready supply chain operations.
• Partner with Business Owners, Digital, and Operations to align technical direction with enterprise strategy, mentor functional teams, and communicate complex architectural decisions clearly to cross-functional and executive stakeholders.
