Job Description

We help the world run better

At SAP, we enable you to bring out your best. Our company culture is focused on collaboration and a shared passion to help the world run better. How? We focus every day on building the foundation for tomorrow and creating a workplace that embraces differences, values flexibility, and is aligned to our purpose-driven and future-focused work. We offer a highly collaborative, caring team environment with a strong focus on learning and development, recognition for your individual contributions, and a variety of benefit options for you to choose from.

ROLE DESCRIPTION
Business Transformation & Architecture (BT&A) MEE is SAP's central advisory unit guiding RISE with SAP customers through their most consequential transformation journeys — from enterprise architecture strategy to hands-on solution adoption and measurable value realization. We sit at the intersection of technology and business, working directly with the most forward-looking organizations across the region.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, international team at the very heart of SAP's Autonomous Enterprise strategy. You will bring together the disciplines of Enterprise Architecture and Business AI Advisory — helping our customers not just modernize their IT landscapes, but genuinely reimagine how their businesses operate in an AI-first world. From Generative AI and Agentic AI to Clean Core transformation and BTP adoption, you will be working with the most innovative technologies SAP has to offer, alongside a team that is energized, collaborative, and deeply committed to customer success.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
As a Senior Enterprise Architect – AI & Business Transformation, you will partner with our customers at every stage of their transformation — leading strategic conversations, designing AI-powered architectures, and ensuring that every initiative translates into tangible, lasting business value. Your days will be varied, impactful, and never dull:

• Guide customers through their end-to-end enterprise and cloud transformation journey — from architecture vision to execution — acting as their trusted primary advisor on both SAP enterprise architecture and Business AI topics, engaging directly with CIO and CxO stakeholders to align strategy with outcomes.
• Design and govern SAP Business AI architectures and enterprise-wide solution landscapes, grounded in SAP's Reference Architecture Framework, Clean Core principles, and the full SAP BTP stack — including Generative AI, Agentic AI, and the SAP GenAI Hub.
• Develop AI strategies and roadmaps, run ideation workshops and AI hackathons, and translate complex transformation initiatives into enterprise-level success plans with measurable business outcomes, tracked through SAP's value framework and KPIs.
• Identify, mitigate, and govern architectural and technical risks across hybrid and cloud landscapes; drive solution adoption, capability consumption, and BTP acceleration — always anchored to demonstrable value drivers for your customers.
• Design AI-powered systems that automate complex business processes and optimize engineering workflows; provide hands-on guidance on Machine Learning, Generative AI, and Agentic AI patterns and their real-world application in SAP enterprise environments.
• Collaborate across product management, go-to-market, and consulting teams; champion knowledge sharing and community building to accelerate SAP Business AI adoption across the MEE region and with global customers — because great AI is always a team sport.

WHAT YOU BRING
You are a seasoned architect and AI practitioner with a passion for enterprise transformation. You combine deep technical credibility with the executive presence to inspire confidence at board level. Most importantly, you love what you do — and it shows:

• 10+ years of experience in enterprise or IT architecture, with a proven track record of end-to-end architectural ownership in complex hybrid and cloud landscapes — combined with several years of hands-on experience in an AI-focused role.
• Deep knowledge of SAP's solution portfolio and the SAP Enterprise Architecture Framework across business, application, integration, data, and technology architecture — together with solid expertise in AI architectures including Generative AI and Agentic AI.
• Hands-on experience with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) — spanning application development, automation, integration, data & analytics, and AI (SAP Business AI, GenAI Hub) — as well as SAP S/4HANA landscapes.
• Proficiency in Clean Core principles, integration and extensibility best practices, and the SAP architecture toolchain (SAP LeanIX, SAP Signavio, SAP Cloud ALM); practical familiarity with SAP's value framework and business case creation.
• Proven ability to design and implement AI-powered systems, automate complex workflows using AI agents, and translate AI strategies into working solutions with measurable, accountable business impact.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills in English — paired with strategic thinking, business acumen, and a genuine passion for continuous learning at the forefront of enterprise AI and cloud transformation. German language skills are a strong advantage.

WHY JOIN US

• Be at the center of SAP's Autonomous Enterprise strategy — working with cutting-edge AI, BTP, and S/4HANA technologies as they shape the future of enterprise software.
• Join a vibrant, international team in the MEE Business Growth Office that is collaborative, forward-thinking, and genuinely excited about what they build and deliver.
• Make a real difference: your architecture decisions and AI strategies will directly impact some of the region's most significant enterprise transformations.
• SAP offers a flexible, inclusive, and growth-oriented environment, with access to world-class learning resources, a strong internal community, and a clear path for career development.
