Principal Architect/Data Warehouse Architect SAP

Position Overview

We are seeking a Principal Architect to lead the data strategy and extraction framework for a major enterprise transformation: migrating from SAP ECC to S/4 HANA. You will be responsible for pulling data from SAP, managing how this massive ERP upgrade impacts the Data Warehouse (DW), and ensuring analytical platforms adapt seamlessly to the change.

Key Responsibilities

• SAP Data Extraction: Design and optimize scalable frameworks for extracting data out of SAP ECC and S/4 HANA into the enterprise Data Warehouse.

• Impact Analysis: Assess and mitigate the impact of the S/4 HANA data migration (structural table changes) on downstream DW models and reporting.

• DW Evolution: Architect the Data Warehouse to adapt gracefully to major source-application upgrades without disrupting business intelligence.

• Technical Leadership: Define integration best practices and bridge the gap between the SAP migration team and the data engineering team.

Required Experience & Qualifications

• SAP & Extraction Expertise: Deep understanding of SAP data structures (ECC & S/4 HANA) and proven experience extracting SAP data (via SLT, OData, SAP BW, or third-party CDC tools).

• Data Warehousing: 10+ years of enterprise DW experience (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Azure) with strong data modeling skills.

• ERP Transformation: Direct, hands-on experience navigating a major ERP transformation or SAP ECC to S/4 HANA migration.

• Change Management: Proven ability to manage DW architecture adaptations during massive source-system overhauls.
