Key Responsibilities

• Architect copy/refresh strategy (system clones, client copies, selective table refreshes) to support waves and regression stability.
• Govern transport route design, segregation of duties, and retrofit strategies across N and N+1 lines.
Release Management & Transport Governance




• Establish release calendar, cutover windows, freeze periods, and non-prod hardening cycles aligned to country rollouts and business events.

• Coordinate with job scheduling & workload automation (e.g., Redwood RunMyJobs or equivalent) to align batch changes with releases.
SP/FPS/SPS & Version Upgrades
• Own the end-to-end upgrade lifecycle: Maintenance Planner BOM, SUM/DMO (with/without System Move), nZDM for uptime-sensitive components, SPDD/SPAU resolution, and add-on compatibility (SPAM/SAINT).
• Plan FPS/SPS application, kernel/HANA upgrades, DB patching, and SNOTE strategy.
• Define downtime minimization, mock upgrades, shadow system use, and rehearsal scrip
