Shape the Future of One of South Africa's Largest SAP Environments

An exceptional opportunity exists for an accomplished SAP Principal Advisor to join a world-class enterprise undergoing significant business transformation.

This is not a traditional SAP Basis role.

We are looking for an experienced SAP technical leader who thrives on influencing strategy, guiding executive decision-making and shaping the future direction of enterprise SAP platforms.

You will work directly alongside executive leadership, providing trusted technical advice across large-scale SAP transformation initiatives including cloud adoption, enterprise architecture, divestments, carve-outs, acquisitions and migrations.

If you are passionate about solving complex enterprise challenges rather than simply supporting day-to-day operations, this opportunity offers a genuine seat at the decision-making table.

• Act as the trusted SAP technical advisor to executive leadership.
• Provide strategic guidance across SAP Basis and enterprise architecture.
• Advise on SAP carve-outs, divestments and business separation programmes.
• Support large-scale SAP migration and transformation initiatives.
• Guide cloud strategy with a strong focus on AWS.
• Review enterprise infrastructure and technical architecture.
• Advise on integrations between SAP and surrounding enterprise platforms.
• Identify technical risks and recommend strategic solutions.
• Influence technology roadmaps and enterprise-wide decisions.

What We're Looking For

• Extensive SAP Basis experience within complex enterprise environments.
• Strong understanding of SAP architecture and infrastructure.
• Proven experience with SAP carve-outs, migrations, divestments or acquisitions.
• Experience with SAP running in AWS or other cloud environments.
• Enterprise infrastructure and networking knowledge.
• Executive stakeholder engagement experience.
• Previous consulting or advisory experience is highly desirable.

You'll Stand Out If You Have Experience With

• Mining
• Large multinational organisations
• SAP transformation programmes
• Enterprise architecture
• Cloud migration
• Consulting firms or major systems integrators

Why Apply?

• Strategic advisory role with executive exposure.
• Influence major business transformation programmes.
• Long-term contract with excellent earning potential.
• Hybrid working environment.
• Opportunity to work on one of the country's most complex SAP landscapes.

If you're ready to move from technical delivery into strategic influence, we'd love to hear from you.
