Role purpose Mumbai (corporate office), with travel to project sites as needed The SAP Lead owns the company's enterprise SAP S/4HANA RISE landscape end to end: its stability, compliance, cost and evolution. The role is accountable for both Run (day-to-day operations and support) and Change (enhancements, new demand and projects). It moves the platform forward by cutting custom code, getting more from standard S/4HANA, and keeping the system clean for audit. The ideal candidate is a hands-on functional leader with deep PS, MM and FICO knowledge in a projectbased real estate business. They listen well, get to root causes, and keep both today's fixes and the longterm roadmap in view. They see SAP as a platform to transform the business, not just a system to maintain.

Key responsibilities
Accountability for Run and Change
• Run: end-to-end accountability for keeping the SAP landscape stable, supported and compliant: incidents, service requests, problem management, month-end and year-end support, and partner SLAs.
• Change / new demand: end-to-end accountability for enhancements, new business requirements and SAP projects: intake, solution design, estimation, prioritisation, delivery, testing and go-live.
• Balance capacity and budget between Run and Change, and report status, risks and spend on both to the CTO/CIO. 1. Platform ownership and upkeep
• Own availability, performance and stability of the S/4HANA RISE landscape (DEV / QA / PRD and any sandbox or pre-prod tiers).
• Act as the company's single point of accountability with SAP and the RISE hyperscaler for service requests, incidents, system refreshes, upgrades and Feature Pack Stack (FPS) adoption.
• Plan and govern release, upgrade and patch cycles, including regression testing of PS, MM and FICO processes and Z objects.
• Drive transport management, change control (CAB), and environment hygiene.
• Track RISE contractual SLAs and responsibilities (SAP vs. customer vs. partner) and escalate gaps. 2. Licence and FUE management
• Actively manage Full Usage Equivalent (FUE) consumption against RISE contractual entitlements.
• Run periodic user-type classification reviews (Advanced, Core, Self-Service) and align role design to the right licence category.

• Build and maintain an inventory of Z programs, reports, enhancements, user exits, BAdIs,



forms and custom tables, with usage and business ownership.
• Use tools such as ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC), Custom Code Migration app, SCMON / usage procedure logging to identify unused, redundant and non-compliant code.
• Define paths off Z wherever possible: replace with standard S/4HANA functionality, Fiori apps, CDS views, embedded analytics or clean-core extensibility (key-user, side-by-side on SAP BTP).
• Set a clean-core governance policy: any recent Z development needs a documented business case and architecture sign-off.
• Track and report custom-code reduction against agreed targets. 4. Roles, authorisation, GRC and SoD
• Review the current roles and authorisation landscape end to end; redesign toward a task-based, least-privilege, business-role model.

• Ensure SAP processes support Ind AS, GST, TDS, RERA-related project accounting and reporting needs, and data-protection obligations under India's DPDP Act. 6. Business engagement and process excellence
• Be the trusted SAP partner for Finance, Costing & Budgeting, Contracting & Procurement and RA Billing teams, from the CFO and business leaders to the SAP operators who use the platform every day.
• Stay close to SAP operators: run regular user forums, floor walks and feedback loops, and act on usability and training gaps.
• Listen to business pain points, separate symptoms from root causes, and fix the process or the configuration, not just the ticket.
• Run demand intake and prioritisation; balance tactical fixes against strategic roadmap items.
• Drive adoption of standard functionality, Fiori,



and analytics to reduce manual work and Excelbased workarounds. 7. Team and partner leadership
• Lead, coach and grow 2–3 on-roll functional experts across PS, MM and FICO.
• Manage 5–10 third-party AMS / partner resources: scope, SLAs, ticket quality, knowledge transfer and commercial performance.
• Set ticket-handling standards, root-cause analysis (RCA) discipline and documentation practices.
• Build succession and cross-skilling so that no module depends on a single person. 8. Strategy and roadmap
• Own a 2–3 year SAP roadmap aligned with the company's digital and AI agenda: clean core, BTP extensions, integration, analytics and automation.
