SAP Enterprise Architect (Functional) ECC to S/4HANA Migration

Location:  Scottsdale, AZ or Woonsocket, RI — onsite (client-facing role; not remote)

Durtaion: 12+ Months 

 About the Role

A Fortune 50 client is mid-flight on an ECC to S/4HANA migration, now entering Phase 2. Significant workstreams are transitioning to our team from the incumbent system integrator, and we need a senior functional architect on the ground in Scottsdale to own that landing.

This is the linchpin role. You are the single point of coordination across a distributed onshore and offshore team, and you are the direct face to the customer. When something falls between two workstreams, it is yours. That framing is deliberate — we are hiring for ownership as much as for architecture.

What You''ll Do

•     Own the functional architecture across the S/4HANA migration — the overarching view, not one module in isolation.

•     Take delivery ownership end to end: shepherd deliverables across the team, spot the gaps between workstreams, and close them before they become client issues.

•     Lead the knowledge transition from the incumbent SI, absorbing design decisions, open items, and history without losing momentum.

•     Coordinate onshore and offshore resources as one team — set the cadence, run the stand-ups, hold the line on accountability.

•     Serve as the primary functional point of contact for the client: present, explain, negotiate scope, and escalate cleanly.

•     Bring AI into the delivery motion. We expect efficiency gains from AI-assisted development and analysis, and we want an architect who is actively pushing that rather than watching it.

•     Close out remaining Phase 1 tail work while driving Phase 2 forward.

•     Mentor and raise the bar for the consultants around you.

What We''re Looking For

Must have:

•     [15]+ years in SAP functional consulting, with recent time in an architect or lead capacity.

•     Breadth across modules. This role needs someone who knows a bit of everything — enough working depth across FI/CO, MM, SD, PP, and adjacent areas to reason about the whole landscape and speak credibly to any workstream. Deep specialization in one or two is expected; a single-module profile is not a fit.

•     At least one full ECC to S/4HANA migration lifecycle, hands-on, with a real understanding of where these programs actually break.

•     Demonstrated experience leading blended onshore/offshore teams.

•     Experience working alongside or transitioning from a Big 4 / global SI — you can hold your own in that room.

•     Exceptional communication and professional presence. This client places a high value on how work is communicated, not just whether it lands. You will be in large forums with senior stakeholders. Composure, clarity, and a solutions-first tone are hard requirements for this role, not soft preferences.

•     Willing and able to be onsite in Scottsdale, AZ.

Strong plus:

•     Working knowledge of SAP''s AI capabilities and practical experience applying AI to accelerate delivery.

•     ABAP literacy — enough to read it, review it, and talk to your technical counterparts.

•     SAP Group Reporting, SAC Analytics, or similar niche depth.

•     Healthcare, retail pharmacy, or comparable regulated-enterprise experience.
