Senior SAP Solution Architect in Bracknell

Klario is our decision intelligence and change management platform for SAP, built on SAP BTP. It exists because most SAP change goes wrong for reasons that have nothing to do with transports. The intent behind a change gets lost somewhere between the business case and the build, the effect on people and process is understood too late, and afterwards nobody can reconstruct why a particular decision was taken or whether it delivered anything. Klario captures that chain, from the original business signal through to the verified outcome, and uses AI to help organisations understand what a change will really cost them before they commit to it.

Our architecture team sets the patterns and guardrails that our product is built on. Klario reasons about SAP change, which means our product decisions and our AI outputs are only as good as our understanding of how SAP actually behaves in a live business. This role is the functional authority in that picture. You will work alongside product to make sure what we build reflects real SAP practice, and alongside our AI team to validate and curate the reference data that our models are judged against. When a generated answer is textbook correct but operationally naive, you are the person who spots it.

What You Will Do

• Act as the functional reference point for the architecture team across the core SAP process spine, from order to cash through to the financial close.
• Review and validate the reference datasets used to evaluate our AI outputs, judging not only whether an answer is technically correct but whether it reflects how the process really runs.
• Work with product to pressure test features against real SAP change scenarios, identifying where a design assumes an idealised landscape.
• Translate SAP nuance for colleagues who do not have an SAP background, including our data science team, and explain why a given detail matters.
• Contribute to the architecture team's patterns, standards, and decision records where SAP domain knowledge is the deciding factor.
• Bring the customer reality into internal discussion, drawing on your own experience of what breaks, what gets worked around, and what people quietly stop doing after a change.

Is This Opportunity For You?

Essential

• Hands‑on experience with SAP Signavio and SAP LeanIX.
• Functional grounding in the SAP core, and the ability to reason beyond it.
• A career that began in functional delivery or support and grew into architecture.
• Substantial exposure to SAP change under real conditions.
• The judgement to tell the difference between how the system is configured and why it ended up that way.
• The ability to explain SAP clearly to people who do not know SAP, without either oversimplifying or retreating into jargon.
• Comfort with not knowing an answer immediately.

Strong Advantage

• Awareness of the wider SAP portfolio beyond the core.
• Experience of S/4HANA transformation.
• Familiarity with SAP BTP, or with how custom development and integration sit alongside the core.
• Experience working with data or AI teams, or with structured knowledge capture of any kind.

What Good Looks Like Here

The strongest people in this role tend to share a particular habit of mind. Asked to change something, they do not start with the transaction code. They start with who is affected, what breaks downstream, what will quietly stop happening, and what the last person who tried this discovered.
