- Coordinate with Architecture, Security, Platform Engineering, and Run/Ops teams to ensure interoperability, NFR compliance (performance, security, resilience), and stable deployments.

- Manage vendor and system integrator contributions where applicable, ensuring engineering quality, standards compliance, and effective knowledge transfer.

- Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executive-level audiences, through clear status, risk, and performance reporting.

- Travel to corporate offices on a quarterly basis to build alignment with IT leaders, strengthen partnerships, and support key planning and execution activities.

## What You Bring to the Role

- 8–12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise application development, with 3–5+ years leading SAP ABAP engineering teams.

- Deep expertise in SAP ABAP development (ECC and/or S/4HANA) including performance engineering, code quality, and scalable design patterns.

- An understanding of the BTP Cloud Development and how it augments and enhances SAP solution delivery.

- Demonstrated experience delivering Fit-to-Standard outcomes in SAP programs, balancing business needs with standard capability adoption.

- Working knowledge of SAP Cloud ALM (CALM) for requirement-to-deploy traceability, testing, defect management, and release governance.

- Strong experience using ServiceNow (or comparable ITSM) for change management, approvals, and audit-compliant change documentation.

- Proven ability to lead across a matrixed organization, partnering with peer leaders and delivery teams to achieve shared outcomes.

- Strong stakeholder management, communication, and presentation skills; comfortable interfacing with business leaders, architecture, and delivery executives.
