Job description

Wat ga jij doen als SAP Senior Solution Architect?

As solution architect, you are the linking pin between business and IT to solution/design, estimate complex SAP architecture and software solutions that allow them to move to next generation SAP technology S/4, EWM/TM, SRM/Ariba and BTP. The main responsibility of a solution architect is to create a plan, estimate and strategy for how a technology solution will be implemented, including determining the hardware and software components needed, and how they will work together to achieve the desired outcome.
The role of a solution architect and the best practice architectures can vary depending on the industry (focus on FMCG, Retail, Energy & Utilities and Discreet Manufacturing) and the specific needs of the organization they are working with. In general, our solution architects must have a deep understanding of the technologies they are working with, as well as an understanding of the business needs and goals of the organization they are working with.
Of course you will not do this alone but as part of a team. KPMG has a world-class accelerated Enterprise Business Transformation approach called Powered Enterprise for cloud-based solutions that uses pre-designed back-office leading practices and KPMG's six-layer Target Operating Model. It enables clients to make better, faster decisions, resulting in a quicker implementation and a faster path to Return on Investment. This solution combines the breadth and scale of KPMG's leading practice, capabilities and insight into a complete solution for an effective back-office.
The Powered Apps teams are communities of technology focused professionals who work together to deliver KPMG Powered Enterprise through a standardized delivery model, which drives professional delivery to clients. The teams use their functional knowledge and experience (e.g. Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement), coupled with their expertise in the cloud applications (e.g. SAP, Ariba) to lead and deliver client programs, support pre-sales activities and develop improvement and extensions to Powered Enterprise.
If you are passionate about technology and have a strong track record of designing and implementing successful technology solutions, we want to hear from you. We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and the opportunity to work with a talented and dynamic team.
To apply, please submit your resume and cover letter detailing your experience and qualifications. We look forward to hearing from you!
