Our client is seeking an Integration Technical Lead 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

• 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 BAU environment.
• Strong background in enterprise system integration using platforms such as SAP PI/PO, SAP CPI, 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

• Understanding of Field Service Management (FSM) systems, including job lifecycle, scheduling, dispatch, and field execution processes.
• Familiarity with how operational transactions feed downstream processes such as costing, billing, and finance processing.
• Exposure to SAP S/4HANA environments and how upstream systems integrate with SAP business objects.
• Experience collaborating with SAP functional and integration teams within enterprise transformation or integration programs.
