• *Role Summary**

================

We are looking for a seasoned SAP Solution Architect : leading complex SAP implementation and AMS (Application Management Support) engagements, while also acting as a senior technical voice in presales, RFP responses, and solution estimation. This is a client\-facing, delivery\-accountable role for someone who has grown through hands\-on functional or technical SAP work into program leadership, and who is equally comfortable in a client steering committee, a solution design workshop, or an internal effort\-estimation review.

The ideal candidate has broad exposure across SAP Business One (B1\), SAP ECC, and SAP S/4HANA (Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and On\-Premise), and has led at least a few end\-to\-end implementations plus long\-running AMS/support engagements. Beyond project delivery, this person will play an active role in strengthening the practice itself – shaping proposals, mentoring consultants, and contributing to the SAP AI and automation roadmap.

• *Key Responsibilities**

========================

• *1\. Presales \& RFP Support**

• **RFP / RFI response ownership –** lead the solution narrative, scope definition, and win themes for SAP RFPs and RFIs, working closely with the sales and commercial teams.
• **Solution design for proposals –** translate a prospect's business requirements into a credible SAP solution approach across B1, ECC, and S/4HANA landscapes.
• **Client presentations –** represent the practice in solution walkthroughs, orals, and technical clarification rounds with prospective clients.
• **Competitive positioning –** articulate why Noblq's SAP delivery model, accelerators, and AI\-driven tooling are differentiated versus competing bidders.

• *2\. Estimation \& Solution Architecture**

• **Effort and cost estimation –** build bottom\-up and parametric estimates for implementation, rollout, upgrade, and AMS deals, with clear assumptions and risk buffers.
• **Solution blueprinting –** define target architecture (on\-premise, private cloud, public cloud, or hybrid), integration approach, and data migration strategy.
• **Effort benchmarking –** maintain and apply estimation benchmarks and past\-project actuals to keep estimates defensible and commercially sound.
• **Technology \& module fitment –** recommend the right SAP product line (B1 vs. S/4HANA Public/Private Cloud vs. On\-Premise) based on client size, complexity, and budget.

• *3\. Delivery \& Program Management**

• **End\-to\-end project ownership –** manage SAP implementation, rollout, and upgrade/conversion projects from kick\-off through go\-live and hypercare.
• **AMS governance –** oversee support engagements against SLAs, ticket volumes, and continuous improvement targets.
• **Stakeholder management –** act as the primary point of contact for client sponsors and steering committees; manage scope, risk, budget, and timeline.
• **Cross\-functional team leadership –** lead functional consultants, technical/ABAP resources, Basis, and integration teams across onshore/offshore models.
• **Quality and governance –** enforce project methodology (Activate/Agile/Waterfall as applicable), documentation standards, and change control.

• *4\. Practice Building**

• **Mentoring \& cross\-skilling –** coach mid\-level consultants on solution design, client communication, and estimation discipline.
• **Reusable assets –** contribute to accelerators, solution templates, demo scripts, and playbooks the wider practice can reuse.
• **AI enablement –** support the practice's SAP AI vision by identifying opportunities to bring AI\-assisted testing, documentation, or estimation tools into live projects.
• **Resourcing input –** flag skill gaps and hiring needs to the practice and resourcing teams based on pipeline and delivery experience.

• *Required Experience \& Technology Exposure**

==============================================

Overall experience: 10 to 15 years in SAP consulting, with a mix of implementation and AMS engagements, including at least 5 years in a solution architect capacity.

• *SAP Platforms (hands\-on or architecture\-level exposure to most of the below)**

• **SAP Business One (B1\) –** SME\-segment implementations and support
• **SAP ECC –** core implementations, rollouts, and long\-term AMS
• **SAP S/4HANA On\-Premise –** greenfield and brownfield implementations, ECC\-to\-S/4 conversions
• **SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud –** RISE with SAP engagements, managed\-cloud delivery models
• **SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud –** fit\-to\-standard workshops, best\-practice\-led rollouts

• *Functional / Technical Depth**

A strong background in one or more of the following, with working knowledge across the rest is expected:

• **Functional:** Finance \& Controlling (FICO), Sales \& Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Production Planning (PP), Quality Management (QM), Plant Maintenance (PM), Human Capital Management (HCM)
• **Technical:** ABAP, Basis, SAP BTP, integration technologies (PI/PO, CPI), Fiori/UI5, data migration tools (LTMC/LSMW/Migration Cockpit)
• **Project types:** greenfield implementations, brownfield/system conversions, rollouts, upgrades, and steady\-state AMS/support

• *Skills \& Competencies**

==========================

• Strong client\-facing communication and executive presence; able to run steering committee conversations independently.
• Sharp commercial sense – comfortable discussing scope, effort, and pricing trade\-offs with clients and internal leadership.
• Structured problem\-solving; able to break down ambiguous requirements into a clear solution and delivery plan.
• People leadership – experience managing teams of 10–40\+ consultants across onshore/offshore locations.
• Familiarity with project delivery frameworks (SAP Activate, Agile/Scrum, Waterfall) and PMO disciplines (RAID logs, status reporting, change control).
• Openness to AI\-assisted delivery tools – testing automation, documentation generation, estimation support – as part of modernizing project execution.

• *Certifications \& Education (Preferred, Not Mandatory)**

==========================================================

• SAP certification in one or more modules (FICO, SD, MM, S/4HANA, or equivalent).
• PMP, PRINCE2, or SAP Activate Project Manager certification.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Commerce, or a related field; MBA is an added advantage.

• *Location \& Work Mode**

=========================

Base location: Chennai. The role may require travel to client locations within India (and occasionally overseas) for workshops, go\-lives, and steering committee meetings, depending on project needs.

• *Why Join Noblq's SAP Practice**

=================================

• Work across the full SAP product spectrum – B1, ECC, and every S/4HANA deployment model – rather than a single narrow track.
• Direct exposure to presales and deal\-shaping, not just execution, for those who want to grow into practice leadership.
• A practice actively investing in AI\-driven accelerators, prompt libraries, and reusable assets – a chance to help build these, not just use them.
• A flat, access\-driven culture where senior consultants engage directly with practice and business leadership.
