Shape the Future of One of South Africa's Largest SAP Environments

An exceptional opportunity exists for an accomplished SAP Principal Advisor to join a world-class enterprise undergoing significant business transformation.

We are looking for an experienced SAP technical leader who thrives on influencing strategy, guiding executive decision-making and shaping the future direction of enterprise SAP platforms.

You will work directly alongside executive leadership, providing trusted technical advice across large-scale SAP transformation initiatives including cloud adoption, enterprise architecture, divestments, carve-outs, acquisitions and migrations.

If you are passionate about solving complex enterprise challenges rather than simply supporting day-to-day operations, this opportunity offers a genuine seat at the decision-making table.

Provide strategic guidance across SAP Basis and enterprise architecture.

Advise on SAP carve-outs, divestments and business separation programmes.

Support large-scale SAP migration and transformation initiatives.

Guide cloud strategy with a strong focus on AWS.

Review enterprise infrastructure and technical architecture.

Advise on integrations between SAP and surrounding enterprise platforms.

Identify technical risks and recommend strategic solutions.

Influence technology roadmaps and enterprise-wide decisions.

What We're Looking For

Extensive SAP Basis experience within complex enterprise environments.

Strong understanding of SAP architecture and infrastructure.

Proven experience with SAP carve-outs, migrations, divestments or acquisitions.

Experience with SAP running in AWS or other cloud environments.

Enterprise infrastructure and networking knowledge.

Executive stakeholder engagement experience.

Previous consulting or advisory experience is highly desirable.

You'll Stand Out If You Have Experience With

Mining

Large multinational organisations

SAP transformation programmes

Cloud migration

Consulting firms or major systems integrators

Why Apply?

Strategic advisory role with executive exposure.

Influence major business transformation programmes.

Long-term contract with excellent earning potential.

Hybrid working environment.

Opportunity to work on one of the country's most complex SAP landscapes.

If you're ready to move from technical delivery into strategic influence, we'd love to hear from you.
