We are seeking an experienced SAP IBP Solution Architect to lead the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of end-to-end Integrated Business Planning solutions. Operating at the intersection of supply chain strategy and technology, you will translate complex business planning requirements into scalable, best-practice SAP IBP architectures — while guiding clients or internal stakeholders from discovery through go-live and beyond.

Solution Design & Architecture
- Own the end-to-end architecture of SAP IBP implementations across one or more planning domains.
- Define data models, integration patterns, and system landscape for IBP deployments within an SAP S/4HANA or hybrid ecosystem.
- Translate business requirements into functional and technical solution blueprints, including fit-gap analysis and design decisions.
- Establish best-practice configuration standards and ensure alignment with SAP's quarterly release roadmap.
Delivery & Stakeholder Engagement
- Lead or support full project lifecycle activities: workshops, blueprint, build, testing, hypercare, and handover.
- Engage C-suite and VP-level supply chain stakeholders; present architectures, trade-offs, and recommendations with clarity.
- Mentor and review the work of functional consultants and junior architects on project teams.
- Coordinate with SAP basis, integration, and data engineering teams to ensure end-to-end solution integrity.
Practice Development
- Contribute to practice assets — accelerators, templates, methodology guides, demo environments.
- Stay current with SAP IBP product direction and bring insights back to the team and clients.
