We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

SAP Expert Architect Advisor (Presales)

Shape the future of enterprise transformation through strategic SAP architecture.

About the Role


We’re seeking an SAP Expert Architect Advisor to join our Customer Advisory (presales) team and play a strategic role in helping global enterprises envision and realize their transformation journeys. This is a customer-facing role – not delivery or consulting – where you’ll inspire customers and guide them toward future-state SAP architectures that unlock business value and accelerate cloud adoption.

You’ll be a trusted advisor to C-level stakeholders, working closely with account teams and SAP partners to define innovative solutions that align with both business and IT goals. Your primary focus will be on one of our strategic customers.

Your Impact

As an SAP Expert Architect Advisor, you will:

  • Strategic Engagement:
    Partner with customers and account teams to define account strategies and target architectures that support long-term transformation.
  • Innovation & Design:
    Assess current SAP landscapes and design future-state architectures that are scalable, cloud-native, and aligned with industry best practices and business and IT goals.
  • Value Communication:
    Craft and deliver compelling value propositions to executive stakeholders, helping them understand the strategic benefits of SAP solutions.
  • Thought Leadership:
    Stay ahead of SAP reference architectures, emerging technologies, and industry trends to guide customers with confidence.

What You Bring

  • Proven experience in SAP architecture, ideally in presales or strategic advisory roles.
  • Knowledge of cloud-native architectures
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and business audiences.
  • Ability to build trusted relationships and influence decisions at all levels of customer organizations.

Why Join Us?

  • Work on strategic, high-impact engagements with global enterprises across industries.
  • Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking Customer Advisory team driving digital transformation.
  • Enjoy a flexible work environment, inclusive culture, and continuous learning opportunities.
  • Make a real difference by helping customers shape their future with SAP.
