About the Role

Nexperia’s Digital Strategy, Architecture & AI function is a single global practice spanning Nijmegen, Hamburg, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong and Bangalore — and what sets us apart is that we design *and* ship. Our architects prototype the patterns they define and pair directly with engineers on first implementations.

Nexperia’s 2026–2030 strategy treats applications as a portfolio to be continuously renewed, not a project list — and this role gives that portfolio an architectural owner.

You'll set the target architecture for Nexperia’s global enterprise application landscape — finance, supply chain, sales and marketing, HR and engineering, and the intersections with manufacturing — and drive the modernization, rationalization, and build-versus-buy decisions that shape the post-2027 estate.

This is a hands-on senior role: you design *and* you build. Based in Bangalore, you'll sit close to where the landscape runs while setting standards used globally.



The decisions made over the next 18 months — including the ECC to S/4HANA transition — will define the estate through 2030.

What You Will Do
- Own the application target architecture — modernization verdicts, lifecycle states, integration patterns, and retirement plans for end-of-life applications
- Stay close to delivery — prototype patterns, run build-versus-buy spikes, and act as the architectural voice within the Application Center of Enablement
- Lead post-2026 platform decisions — ECC to S/4HANA, platform consolidation, SaaS rationalization, and M&A; integration, translated into a sequenced roadmap
- Govern SAP Clean Core — set the extension and customization standards that keep the S/4HANA core upgradable
- Govern SaaS end-to-end — compliance, exit paths, vendor risk, and shadow IT — while translating NIS2, GDPR, EU AI Act, and CSDDD into application-level controls
- Partner across architecture functions — working with Data, AI & Integration and Manufacturing architects at the ERP, MES, and PLM inte
