Our client is seeking a Technical Lead SAP Integration to provide technical ownership across a portfolio of operational systems that integrate with SAP through the enterprise integration layer. Many of these systems are live, business-critical platforms operating in BAU environments with limited or incomplete documentation. This role will bring clarity and stability by understanding how systems actually function, documenting integrations and data flows, and working closely with SAP and middleware teams to ensure reliable and supportable integrations.

The Role

Will see you working within a Corporate Systems team of 10 with project and BAU accountability for a range of corporate systems (financials, HR, Payroll etc). The organisation is undertaking a greenfield SAP S4/Hana public cloud implementation with finance as the major sponsor. As Technical Lead you will work with the project team, tier-1 vendor, corporate systems team, IT and business sponsors to embed this system into the team’s remit to support across projects and BAU.

You will need outstanding engagement, technical depth in integration and a willingness to learn and support the team, as well as uplift process and maturity !

  • Act as the technical owner for upstream operational systems integrating with SAP.
  • Analyse and document how systems operate day-to-day, including APIs, files, schedules, triggers, and system dependencies.
  • Identify and document existing interfaces, defining payload structures, required data elements, timing, and integration behaviour.
  • Maintain a consolidated view of upstream integrations to ensure cross-team clarity.
  • Work closely with SAP CPI and integration teams to align upstream system behaviour with enterprise integration requirements.
  • Provide guidance on appropriate API vs file-based integration approaches.
  • Define test data requirements and support integration testing, defect investigation, and BAU incident resolution.
  • Act as a technical escalation point when integration issues impact operational systems.
  • Assess the impact of system upgrades, configuration changes, or new systems entering the landscape.
  • Introduce lightweight documentation and governance practices to stabilise BAU operations.

About You

  • Experience acting as a technical lead or system owner for operational systems in a project AND BAU environment.
  • Strong background in enterprise system integration using platforms such as SAP PI/PO, SAP CPI, BTP, Boomi, or similar middleware.
  • Solid understanding of system-to-system integration patterns, including REST/SOAP APIs and file-based integrations.
  • Ability to reverse-engineer undocumented systems using logs, payloads, and production behaviour.
  • Experience defining interface specifications, data contracts, and integration documentation.
  • Understanding of synchronous vs asynchronous integration patterns and batch vs event-driven processing.
  • Hands-on development background in Java and/or .NET, with the ability to review and troubleshoot application or integration code.
  • Experience supporting integration testing, incident investigation, and defect triage.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to SAP teams, integration specialists, vendors, and business stakeholders.

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to SAP S/4HANA public cloud environments
