Position Summary

The Lead Architect - Master Data is a high-impact, senior technical leadership role responsible for defining and driving the global master data architecture strategy. As we undergo a critical transformation from SAP ECC to S/4HANA Cloud, this role will serve as the primary architect ensuring data readiness, governance, and seamless integration across enterprise domains.

Reporting directly to the VP, Data Intelligence & AI, you will lead the architectural design and execution for core data domains, including Business Partner (Customer/Vendor), Material, and Finance. You will bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution, championing SAP Best Practices, Clean Core principles, and modern data management frameworks to build a resilient foundation for enterprise AI and analytics.

Key Responsibilities
1. Enterprise Architecture & S/4HANA Migration Strategy (35%)
-Migration Leadership: Define and own the target-state master data architecture for the SAP ECC to S/4HANA Cloud migration. Serve as design authority for the master data workstream - setting data models, conversion standards, and migration design principles aligned to SAP Activate. Provide architectural guidance in Fit-to-Standard workshops for data domains, ensuring decisions align with S/4HANA best practices and long-term data strategy..
-Simplification & Adaptation : Analyze the SAP Simplification List to identify deprecated objects, mandatory conversions, and architectural changes, translating them into actionable master data roadmaps.
-Clean Core Architecture: Architect master data solutions adhering to Clean Core / ABAP Cloud extensibility frameworks, prioritizing Side-by-Side or Key User extensibility over classic ABAP custom modifications.
-Integration & Exposure: Design modern data exposure and consumption models leveraging Core Data Services (CDS) Views and the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) ecosystem (including Integration Suite and Event Mesh).

2. Finance & Cross-Domain Master Data Design (25%)
-Finance Domain Architecture: Lead the architectural design and structural alignment of Finance master data for S/4HANA, specifically guiding the Universal Journal (ACDOCA) restructuring of General Ledger (G/L) accounts, profit centers, and cost centers.
Multi-Domain Governance: Establish and maintain standard data models for Business Partner (incorporating Customer/Vendor integration), Material, and Finance domains to ensure cross-functional data integrity.
-Platform & Solution Design: Evaluate, select, and design the master data governance solution - whether SAP MDG, a lighter-weight workflow built on SAP BTP (Build Process Automation, Fiori, CDS), or a hybrid approach - sized appropriately to the company's scale and complexity. Define the blueprint for governance workflows, stewardship, request/approval processes, and consolidation patterns across master data domains, leveraging SAP Datasphere for downstream integration and analytics alignment.

3. End-to-End Data Cleansing & Migration Readiness (20%)
-Cleansing Framework Design: Define the methodology and standards for the multi-phase data cleansing lifecycle - profiling, remediation, re-profiling, and sign-off - establishing the architectural guardrails and quality gates that the cleansing program executes against.
-Data Quality Tooling & Standards: Select and architect the data profiling and automated remediation tooling stack. Define acceptance criteria, validation rule libraries, and migration readiness thresholds that govern when data is approved for conversion.
-Quality KPIs & Validation Standards: Partner with business data stewards to define data quality KPIs and the catalog of S/4HANA target validation rules. Establish the measurement framework used to assess migration readiness; execution against those KPIs is owned by the data quality lead and stewards..

4. Team Leadership, Governance & Partnership (20%)
-Strategic Collaboration: Act as the primary technical advisor to the VP, Data Intelligence & AI, and collaborate closely with Finance, Supply Chain, and Commercial business leaders.
-Team Development: Provide technical mentorship and architectural guidance to data engineers, analysts, and external implementation partner resources.
-Data Stewardship Framework: Foster an organizational culture of data ownership, designing workflows that empower data stewards to maintain high-quality data post-migration.
