We are looking for a seasoned
SAP Solution Architect : leading complex
SAP implementation and AMS (Application Management Support) engagements, while
also acting as a senior technical voice in presales, RFP responses, and
solution estimation. This is a client-facing, delivery-accountable role for
someone who has grown through hands-on functional or technical SAP work into
program leadership, and who is equally comfortable in a client steering
committee, a solution design workshop, or an internal effort-estimation review.

The ideal candidate has broad
exposure across SAP Business One (B1), SAP ECC, and SAP S/4HANA (Public Cloud,
Private Cloud, and On-Premise), and has led at least a few end-to-end
implementations plus long-running AMS/support engagements. Beyond project delivery,
this person will play an active role in strengthening the practice itself –
shaping proposals, mentoring consultants, and contributing to the SAP AI and
automation roadmap.

1. Presales
& RFP Support

•     RFP /
RFI response ownership – lead the
solution narrative, scope definition, and win themes for SAP RFPs and RFIs,
working closely with the sales and commercial teams.

•     Solution
design for proposals – translate a
prospect's business requirements into a credible SAP solution approach across
B1, ECC, and S/4HANA landscapes.

•     Client
presentations – represent the
practice in solution walkthroughs, orals, and technical clarification rounds
with prospective clients.

•     Competitive positioning – articulate why Noblq's SAP
delivery model, accelerators, and AI-driven tooling are differentiated versus
competing bidders.

2. Estimation
& Solution Architecture

•     Effort
and cost estimation – build bottom-up
and parametric estimates for implementation, rollout, upgrade, and AMS deals,
with clear assumptions and risk buffers.

•     Solution blueprinting – define target architecture
(on-premise, private cloud, public cloud, or hybrid), integration approach, and
data migration strategy.

•     Effort benchmarking – maintain and apply estimation
benchmarks and past-project actuals to keep estimates defensible and
commercially sound.

•     Technology & module fitment – recommend the right
SAP product line (B1 vs. S/4HANA Public/Private Cloud vs. On-Premise) based on
client size, complexity, and budget.

3. Delivery
& Program Management

•     End-to-end project ownership – manage SAP
implementation, rollout, and upgrade/conversion projects from kick-off through
go-live and hypercare.

•     AMS
governance – oversee support
engagements against SLAs, ticket volumes, and continuous improvement targets.

•     Stakeholder
management – act as the primary point
of contact for client sponsors and steering committees; manage scope, risk,
budget, and timeline.

•     Cross-functional
team leadership – lead functional
consultants, technical/ABAP resources, Basis, and integration teams across
onshore/offshore models.

•     Quality and governance – enforce project methodology
(Activate/Agile/Waterfall as applicable), documentation standards, and change
control.

4. Practice
Building

•     Mentoring
& cross-skilling – coach
mid-level consultants on solution design, client communication, and estimation
discipline.

•     Reusable
assets – contribute to accelerators,
solution templates, demo scripts, and playbooks the wider practice can reuse.

•     AI enablement – support the practice's SAP AI
vision by identifying opportunities to bring AI-assisted testing,
documentation, or estimation tools into live projects.

•     Resourcing
input – flag skill gaps and hiring
needs to the practice and resourcing teams based on pipeline and delivery
experience.

Overall
experience: 10 to 15 years in SAP consulting, with a mix of implementation and
AMS engagements, including at least 5 years in a solution architect capacity.

SAP Platforms
(hands-on or architecture-level exposure to most of the below)

•     SAP Business One (B1)
– SME-segment implementations and
support

•     SAP ECC – core implementations, rollouts, and long-term AMS

•     SAP S/4HANA On-Premise – greenfield and brownfield implementations,
ECC-to-S/4 conversions

•     SAP S/4HANA Private
Cloud – RISE with SAP engagements,
managed-cloud delivery models

•     SAP S/4HANA Public
Cloud – fit-to-standard workshops,
best-practice-led rollouts

Functional /
Technical Depth

A
strong background in one or more of the following, with working knowledge
across the rest is expected:

•     Functional: Finance & Controlling (FICO), Sales &
Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Production Planning (PP), Quality
Management (QM), Plant Maintenance (PM), Human Capital Management (HCM)

•     Technical: ABAP, Basis, SAP BTP, integration technologies (PI/PO,
CPI), Fiori/UI5, data migration tools (LTMC/LSMW/Migration Cockpit)

•     Project types: greenfield implementations, brownfield/system
conversions, rollouts, upgrades, and steady-state AMS/support

•     Strong client-facing
communication and executive presence; able to run steering committee
conversations independently.

•     Sharp commercial sense –
comfortable discussing scope, effort, and pricing trade-offs with clients and
internal leadership.

•     Structured
problem-solving; able to break down ambiguous requirements into a clear
solution and delivery plan.

•     People leadership – experience managing teams of 10–40+ consultants
across onshore/offshore locations.

•     Familiarity with project
delivery frameworks (SAP Activate, Agile/Scrum, Waterfall) and PMO disciplines
(RAID logs, status reporting, change control).

•     Openness to AI-assisted
delivery tools – testing automation, documentation generation, estimation
support – as part of modernizing project execution.

•     SAP certification in one
or more modules (FICO, SD, MM, S/4HANA, or equivalent).

•     PMP, PRINCE2, or SAP
Activate Project Manager certification.

•     Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Commerce, or a related field; MBA is
an added advantage.

Base
location: Chennai. The role may require travel to client locations within India
(and occasionally overseas) for workshops, go-lives, and steering committee
meetings, depending on project needs.

•     Work across the full SAP
product spectrum – B1, ECC, and every S/4HANA deployment model – rather than a
single narrow track.

•     Direct exposure to
presales and deal-shaping, not just execution, for those who want to grow into
practice leadership.

•     A practice actively
investing in AI-driven accelerators, prompt libraries, and reusable assets – a
chance to help build these, not just use them.

•     A flat, access-driven culture where senior consultants engage directly
with practice and business leadership.
