Shape the Future of One of South Africa's Largest SAP Environments
An exceptional opportunity exists for an accomplished SAP Principal Advisor to join a world-class enterprise undergoing significant business transformation.
This is not a traditional SAP Basis role.
We are looking for an experienced SAP technical leader who thrives on influencing strategy, guiding executive decision-making and shaping the future direction of enterprise SAP platforms.
You will work directly alongside executive leadership, providing trusted technical advice across large-scale SAP transformation initiatives including cloud adoption, enterprise architecture, divestments, carve-outs, acquisitions and migrations.
If you are passionate about solving complex enterprise challenges rather than simply supporting day-to-day operations, this opportunity offers a genuine seat at the decision-making table.

- Provide strategic guidance across SAP Basis and enterprise architecture.
- Advise on SAP carve-outs, divestments and business separation programmes.
- Support large-scale SAP migration and transformation initiatives.
- Guide cloud strategy with a strong focus on AWS.
- Review enterprise infrastructure and technical architecture.
- Advise on integrations between SAP and surrounding enterprise platforms.
- Identify technical risks and recommend strategic solutions.
- Influence technology roadmaps and enterprise-wide decisions.
What We're Looking For
- Extensive SAP Basis experience within complex enterprise environments.
- Strong understanding of SAP architecture and infrastructure.
- Proven experience with SAP carve-outs, migrations, divestments or acquisitions.
- Experience with SAP running in AWS or other cloud environments.
- Enterprise infrastructure and networking knowledge.
- Executive stakeholder engagement experience.
- Previous consulting or advisory experience is highly desirable.
You'll Stand Out If You Have Experience With
- Mining
- Large multinational organisations
- SAP transformation programmes
- Enterprise architecture
- Cloud migration
- Consulting firms or major systems integrators
Why Apply?
- Strategic advisory role with executive exposure.
- Influence major business transformation programmes.
- Long-term contract with excellent earning potential.
- Hybrid working environment.
- Opportunity to work on one of the country's most complex SAP landscapes.
If you're ready to move from technical delivery into strategic influence, we'd love to hear from you.
