Your Role
Are you ready to take overall accountability for end-to-end solution architecture in large-scale SAP S/4HANA transformation programs? As a Solution Integration Lead (m/f/d), you are the central authority for integrated solution delivery – orchestrating process, functional, data, development, and testing workstreams across all project phases, from presales through go-live and hypercare.
You define content standards, coordinate across domains, and ensure that every team – from process design to system build – knows what to deliver, when, and how. Drawing on your experience in SAP functional implementation, cross-team solution design, and data architecture, you ensure a seamless, cohesive end-to-end outcome.

- Coordinate and validate end-to-end integration test scenarios, test data, and test steps across workstreams
- Support go/no-go decisions and cutover readiness from an end-to-end solution and integration perspective
Transition & Handover
- Facilitate knowledge transfer to AMS and hypercare teams; ensure solution and integration documentation is complete, accessible, and properly handed over
