• Excellent stakeholder communication and advisory skills; ability to act as a trusted advisor, articulate architectural trade-offs, and drive discovery and solution decision-making

Roles & Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end solution architecture for the global LE-TRA → SAP TM transformation
• Lead Discovery / Phase 0, fit-gap analysis, architecture option assessment and PoC activities

• A configuration-focused / cookbook SAP TM implementation profile
• SAP Basis, infrastructure or TM installation expertise
