A successful candidate will understand the importance of collaboration as this position will focus on working directly with multiple stakeholders including business, solution architects and developers to implement SAP projects.

• Define the target PTP architecture and roadmap (S/4HANA, Ariba, payment hubs, third party services), ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture standards and business objectives.
• Collaborate with IT and business stakeholders across Procurement, Finance, Treasury, Tax, Legal and other functions to understand business objectives, validate priorities, and translate needs into solution deliverables.
• Own the end to end PTP solution design and target operating model: sourcing → requisitioning → purchase order → goods/services receipt → invoice processing → payment → supplier master data & onboarding.

• Define configuration strategy and solution patterns for PTP in S/4HANA and Ariba to ensure reuse, scalability and maintainability of configurations and extensions.
• Drive process standardization and control frameworks: GR/IR management, invoice matching/tolerances (VIM/MIRO/ERS), dispute resolution, segregation of duties, tax/WHT compliance and auditability.
• Assess feasibility of architecture options and perform trade off analyses against SAP and industry best practices; evaluate new SAP releases and alternate software, and act as a recognized subject matter expert in the domain.
• Identify and recommend automation and digitization opportunities (OCR/VIM, RPA, straight through processing, Fiori UX improvements, workflow optimizations) to reduce manual effort, improve accuracy and accelerate time to pay.
• Create and maintain architecture artifacts, functional and application design documents, interface specifications, test strategies and test cases (SIT/UAT/Performance), runbooks and operational playbooks.
• Lead delivery activities related to PTP implementations and enhancements: solution design, configuration, development coordination, testing, cutover planning, deployment and post go live stabilization.
• Provide technical leadership during testing and rollout: facilitate issue triage, lead root cause analysis, and coordinate remediation between development, integration and business teams.
• Ensure all PTP solutions comply with security, regulatory, and corporate IT standards; embed controls required by Finance, Tax, Audit and Legal throughout the solution lifecycle.
• Work with ERP Architect colleagues to manage the end to end product lifecycle of SAP PTP capabilities within the broader ERP ecosystem, including lifecycle governance and versioning of architecture views and models.
• Produce and govern standardized documentation templates, architecture views and model artifacts using established techniques and tools; support configuration management of these artifacts.
• Mentor and enable functional teams, junior architects and third party integrators; drive knowledge transfer, training and run team readiness for sustained operations.
• Evaluate third party tools and emerging SAP/market capabilities, develop business case driven adoption roadmaps, and recommend pragmatic solutions that deliver measurable business value.
