Role overview

The Manager, SAP Platform & Integrations is the platform owner and PMO lead for Aleph's SAP S/4HANA programme, responsible for cross-workstream coordination, change request governance, SAP BTP integration health, and system administration across Aleph's 38 legal entities in 25+ countries.

The role operates within a specialist squad that includes a SAP FICO Business Analyst/Solution Architect, a SAP SD Business Analyst/Solution Architect, an Integration Architect (owning the broader iPaaS, API, and n8n layer), and a Workday Business Analyst/Solution Architect. Each peer owns deep functional or technical expertise in their domain. This Manager role is not a module specialist — it is the connective layer: ensuring the platform roadmap is coherent, delivery across workstreams is coordinated, and the business always has a single point of accountability for SAP.

On the SAP integration side, the role owns the SAP BTP layer specifically — iFlows, certificate management, e-invoicing compliance, and the SAP-side configuration of connections to Salesforce, Workday, OneStream, and Dynamics 365. The Integration Architect owns the broader middleware and API governance layer; this role coordinates the handoff points and ensures SAP-side readiness for any cross-system integration.

The role reports to the Global IT Director — Finance & HR and succeeds the current SAP technical lead, with an expectation to build continuity, raise delivery governance, and position SAP as a strategic enabler of Aleph's growth.

What you'll do:

Platform Ownership & Roadmap

• Own the SAP platform roadmap across all modules and workstreams, coordinating priorities with the FICO Architect, SD Architect, and business stakeholders (Finance, Tax, Revenue Recognition, Controlling, Operations).
• Manage the end-to-end change request (CR) pipeline: intake, triage, cross-module dependency mapping, prioritization, and delivery tracking on the Jira SAP project board.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for SAP across the business — translating executive and functional needs into platform decisions and sequenced delivery plans.
• Facilitate release planning and go-live coordination across workstreams, ensuring UAT sign-off, cutover readiness, and stakeholder alignment.
• Identify and drive quick-win automation opportunities (in coordination with the Integration Architect and n8n platform) that complement the core SAP build without requiring full CR cycles.

SAP BTP & Integration Ownership

• Own the SAP BTP layer: iFlow configuration and maintenance, certificate rotations, OAuth/mTLS administration, and incident response for all SAP-originated or SAP-destined integration flows.
• Manage the SAP-side configuration of connections to Salesforce, Workday, OneStream, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 — coordinating with the Integration Architect on middleware design, API contracts, and cross-system data flow governance.
• Oversee e-invoicing compliance across multiple countries (Poland KSeF, Romanian e-Factura, Belgian Peppol, and others), coordinating with local finance teams and external vendors.
• Perform root-cause analysis on SAP integration incidents and lead resolution, engaging the FICO or SD Architect for module-level diagnosis and the Integration Architect for middleware-side issues as needed.
• Administer the SAP platform: user roles, authorizations, transport management, and system configuration — escalating module-specific functional configuration to the relevant Architect.

Vendor Governance & PMO

• Act as the primary commercial and delivery interface with external SAP vendors (currently Globant): SOW review, sprint planning, acceptance criteria definition, and escalation management.
• Ensure every open CR has a named owner, module assignment (FICO/SD/cross-module), priority, and ETA; produce monthly SAP status updates for the IT Committee and Global IT Director.
• Coordinate cross-workstream dependencies and sequencing — flagging transport conflicts, shared configuration objects, or delivery risks that span FICO, SD, or integration workstreams.
• Contribute to IT cost visibility for SAP-related spend: licenses, BTP consumption, and consulting engagements.
• Support audit, GDPR, and ISO 27001 compliance requirements related to the SAP platform.

• Hybrid work model
• Full-time commitment
• Location: Madrid, Spain

Education

Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field. SAP certification (e.g. SAP Certified Application Associate, SAP BTP Integration Suite) is preferred.

Experience

• 5+ years of experience in SAP programme management, platform ownership, or technical administration — with exposure to multiple SAP modules rather than deep specialisation in one.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate a multi-workstream SAP delivery programme across functional architects and business stakeholders.
• Proven track record managing SAP BTP integrations, including iFlow configuration, certificate lifecycle, and incident response.
• Experience working with and governing external SAP development vendors: SOW review, sprint facilitation, acceptance testing, and escalation.
• Familiarity with adjacent enterprise systems (Salesforce, Workday, Dynamics 365, OneStream) at an integration-awareness level — understanding data flows and dependencies without needing to administer those systems.
• Background in multi-country SAP e-invoicing compliance is strongly preferred.
• Experience in fast-paced, multi-entity international environments is an advantage.

Technical Skills

• SAP S/4HANA platform administration: transport management, authorization management, release coordination — broad platform ownership rather than deep module configuration (FICO/SD owned by peer Architects).
• SAP Integration Suite / BTP: iFlow configuration, certificate and mTLS administration, monitoring, and incident diagnosis.
• Integration awareness: working knowledge of SAP-side configuration for connections to Salesforce, Workday, Dynamics 365, and OneStream; ability to coordinate handoff points with the Integration Architect without owning the middleware layer.
• Google Cloud / BigQuery: ability to validate SAP data replicated to the data warehouse and support reporting requirements.
• Jira and Confluence: proficient in CR tracking, cross-workstream programme documentation, and stakeholder reporting.
• Languages: Fluent English required; additional languages are an advantage.
