• Automation & Orchestration: Champion the shift from traditional SAP operations to proactive platform engineering by transitioning manual tasks (system copies, transports, reactive support) to automated, self-healing workflows using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Observability & AI-Driven Operations: Implement full-stack SAP observability, AIOps, predictive alerts, and root cause analysis tools to move from reactive troubleshooting to predictive system health management for the digital core.

Must have proven experience leading enterprise-level SAP S/4HANA initiatives, executing complex system upgrades, and providing hands-on leadership in RISE with SAP migrations.
