Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Own the end-to-end SAP BASIS delivery stream for a multi-year, enterprise-scale S/4HANA transformation that touches every line of business and underpins €3 B+ in annual revenue.
• Act as the single point of accountability for technical architecture, infrastructure design, system provisioning, upgrades, performance tuning, security hardening, and post-migration BAU readiness—translating complex business requirements into rock-solid technical solutions.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of BASIS engineers, cloud architects, and DevOps specialists across multiple time zones; set the technical bar, review designs, remove blockers, and ensure every sprint delivers measurable value.
• Drive the governance rhythm: chair weekly stream-lead stand-ups, present status to the steering committee, and translate red-amber-green metrics into clear, executive-level narratives that keep sponsors confident and stakeholders aligned.
• Orchestrate the technical cutover playbook—from mock conversions to dress rehearsals to go-live—owning downtime windows, rollback plans, and the hyper-care war room until the first month-end closes flawlessly.
• Partner with the Program Manager to lock scope, sequence work packages, and continuously refine the master plan; use Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar to maintain a living backlog that balances feature velocity with technical debt reduction.
• Collaborate with functional workstreams (Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Sales) and third-party SaaS vendors to right-size landscapes, tune RFC/BAPI throughput, and ensure every interface meets peak-day SLAs.
• Design and execute infrastructure sourcing strategy: evaluate hyperscaler vs. on-prem vs. hybrid models, negotiate with operations partners, and lock in cost-effective contracts that scale from sandbox to 10 TB HANA production.
• Build and maintain golden-image templates, automated provisioning scripts, and Infrastructure-as-Code pipelines so that any new system can be stood up in hours, not weeks, with security baselines baked in.
• Champion performance engineering: define KPIs, drive load-testing cycles with 5× peak volume, and optimize SQL plans, memory parameters, and disk layout to hit sub-second response times for 50 k concurrent users.
• Prepare the landscape for BAU operations—create sizing models, craft runbooks, set up monitoring/alerting, and hand over to the 24×7 support organization with zero knowledge gaps.
• Coordinate cost estimation and controlling: translate technical blueprints into TCO forecasts, track burn rate vs. budget, and surface early-warning indicators to keep the program within 3 % variance.
• Communicate planned downtimes, technical constraints, and release calendars to a global user base of 25 k+; run change-advisory boards and ensure every change ticket is risk-assessed, tested, and approved.
• Define the governance model for BASIS deliverables—coding standards, peer-review gates, automated testing thresholds, and audit-ready documentation—so that external auditors and SOX controls are satisfied at every gate.
• Continuously scan the SAP roadmap, evaluate new features (Fiori 3.0, BTP extensions, RISE with SAP), and propose adoption strategies that future-proof the platform for the next five years.
• Foster a culture of innovation: run internal hackathons, champion S/4HANA clean-core principles, and share lessons learned in global tech talks to elevate Nagarro’s brand as a thought leader.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years hands-on SAP BASIS experience with at least two full-cycle S/4HANA conversions or large-scale ECC upgrades on HANA.
• Proven leadership of distributed BASIS teams (8+ engineers) in agile, multi-vendor environments; PMP or SAFe certification preferred.
• Deep expertise in HANA sizing, performance tuning, high-availability, disaster-recovery, and cloud migrations (AWS, Azure, GCP, or RISE).
• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills—able to translate technical trade-offs into business impact and secure buy-in.
• Nice-to-have: SAP BTP, Fiori Gateway, Linux/Unix scripting, Terraform/Ansible, SAP Solution Manager 7.2, and experience with SAP SaaS integrations (SuccessFactors, Ariba, Fieldglass).

🏖️ Benefits

• 100 % remote-first culture with flexible working hours and a €2 000 home-office setup allowance.
• Annual training budget of €5 000 plus paid certifications (SAP, AWS, Azure, PMP) and access to global tech summits.
• 30 days paid vacation, sabbatical options after 3 years, and family-friendly policies including extended parental leave.
