In this role, you will take ownership of the end-to-end SAP Analytics lifecycle, ensuring the delivery of reliable, scalable, and audit-ready data products that empower our senior business stakeholders. You will drive the architectural vision and strategy across SAP BW/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), and SAP Datasphere, while establishing and maintaining a mature, service-oriented operating model. As a leader, your focus will be on mentoring your team, optimizing platform performance and governance, and bridging the gap between complex engineering capabilities and strategic business value in a modern, multi-cloud environment.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead & Elevate Talent: Mentor, coach, and empower a high-performing engineering team. Champion aggressive upskilling for the multi-cloud era while fostering a culture of continuous learning and ownership
  • Bridge Tech and Business: Act as a strategic partner to senior stakeholders across Finance, HR, and Operations. Translate complex technical data architectures into clear business value

Requirements

  • Proven track record (5+ years) in driving enterprise-scale data strategies, with deep architectural expertise in SAP BW/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), and SAP Datasphere/Business Data Cloud
  • At least 3-4 years of experience as a passionate people leader, adept at mentoring technical talent, structuring roles, and cultivating a high-performing, psychologically safe environment
  • Successfully guided engineering teams through significant operational shifts, transforming traditional delivery models into structured, resilient Service Organizations (leveraging capacity management, SLAs, or ITIL/KMM principles)
  • Experienced in orchestrating complex cloud migrations and driving platform efficiency, including implementing tiered storage and optimizing HANA database licensing
  • Strong command of enterprise data governance, ensuring strict audit readiness and implementing robust security frameworks (e.g., Row-Level Security, Data Access Controls) to meet financial and regulatory compliance (like BaFin or CSRD)
  • Exceptional communicator and strategic thinker who can seamlessly bridge the gap between deep technical implementation and senior business stakeholder requirements (across Finance, HR, etc.), translating complex logic into compelling, actionable narratives

Nice to have

  • Experience architecting hybrid data environments (e.g., integrating SAP with Snowflake or Databricks)
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies in an SAP context

What we offer

  • 27 days of holiday a year to start for full-time employees
