As a Sovereign Cloud Architect & Advisor, you will be at the forefront of enabling customers to modernise their IT landscapes through trusted cloud solutions that meet regulatory, security, and compliance requirements.

• Define sovereign cloud strategies that balance innovation, security, compliance, and operational excellence.
• Build transformation roadmaps that guide customers from their current landscape to a future‑ready cloud operating model.
• Architect trusted hybrid and multi‑cloud solutions across platforms such as SAP Cloud Infrastructure, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
• Enable resilient and compliant environments that support business continuity, data sovereignty, and regulatory requirements.

• Deep knowledge of SAP solutions, industry offerings, product roadmaps, and solution dependencies.
• Solid expertise in cloud infrastructure and platform technologies, including virtualisation, compute, networking, storage, and hybrid/multi‑cloud architectures.
• Hands‑on experience with Hyperscaler such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and SAP Cloud Infrastructure (SCI); relevant certifications are highly valued.
• Extensive SAP technology background, including SAP HANA, SAP S/4HANA, SAP NetWeaver, OS/DB migrations, SAP BTP, HANA Cloud, AI and enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF.
• Understanding SAP BTP, integration architectures, cybersecurity, compliance, data privacy, and sovereign cloud principles; experience in regulated industries or the public sector is a plus.
• 10+ years of customer‑facing SAP consulting experience and 8+ years in enterprise architecture, solution design, or SAP implementation, with exposure to pre‑sales, service delivery, ITSM, and SAP operations.
