Description:

The SAP Technical Architect works within the SAP Architecture team and is responsible for understanding and elaborating client requirements and developing solutions that meet these requirements. You will oversee architectural solutions as developed in individual projects or as a large delivery project and take responsibility for ensuring that the technical solution is delivered as originally defined and fits with the overall architecture strategy.

You will work closely with the Functional Consultants and Project Managers early in the project to scope work for your own area, as well as understanding the overall business process and functional requirements, effectively cascading that onto any stream or joint team members. You will successfully manage to the agreed technical scope during the project, ensuring continued alignment with the functional scope/design, and take ownership of architectural solutions and non-functional requirements to ensure adherence to processes, policy, best practices and consistency with the client vision. You will be involved in the reviewing and scoping of technical/infrastructure projects for feasibility of delivery. You will ensure a consistent approach to technical and templated functional solutions and help refine the Enterprise Architecture. You will also manage the technical relationships with vendors and material sub-contractors.
