This is a senior technology leadership opportunity for someone who can combine deep SAP expertise with enterprise systems governance, integration architecture, operational resilience and a clear view of future transformation.
The Enterprise Systems Technology Manager will lead the governance, lifecycle management and technical direction of SAP platforms, enterprise applications, middleware, integrations and automation technologies. A key mandate is ensuring these business-critical services remain secure, scalable, resilient and cost-effective while developing the technology roadmaps required for future modernisation, including SAP S/4HANA readiness and clean-core adoption.
The role extends well beyond day-to-day SAP management. You will influence architecture and technology investment decisions, govern custom development and ABAP delivery, oversee integration and automation services, manage strategic vendors and lead technical teams and outsourced partners. You will also play a critical role in maintaining 24/7 operational resilience, disaster recovery readiness and disciplined technology lifecycle management.
Our client operates a large, technology-dependent logistics and supply-chain environment where reliable enterprise systems are fundamental to continuous operations. Its technology landscape combines SAP, enterprise applications, integrations, middleware, automation and outsourced technology services, with an increasing focus on platform modernisation, standardisation, security and sustainable architecture.
What You'll Do
Own and execute technology roadmaps for SAP platforms, enterprise applications, middleware, integrations and automation technologies.
Lead lifecycle planning across application technologies, including evaluation, deployment, upgrades, refresh, technical-debt reduction and decommissioning.
Drive SAP S/4HANA readiness and support transformation planning, platform assessments and migration preparation.
Champion SAP standard functionality and clean-core principles while challenging unnecessary custom development.
Govern custom code and provide leadership to the SAP ABAP development capability.
Review SAP, enterprise application, middleware and integration architectures for security, supportability and alignment with enterprise standards.
Govern integration services across SAP, logistics platforms, customer environments and third-party providers.
Oversee SAP Process Orchestration, SAP Data Services and related middleware while preparing future integration patterns for SAP BTP Cloud Integration where appropriate.
Ensure appropriate data isolation and security across middleware, databases, interfaces and reporting layers.
