Responsibilities You will define and shape a flexible and future‑ready IT architecture (application, integration, and data) for CRM, Marketing, and Commission engine–related solutions, always aligned with business requirements and the target architecture. Acting as a trusted expert, you’ll guide strategic IT initiatives and high‑demand programs while ensuring compliance with security standards, policies, and technologies. You’ll spot opportunities to optimise the IT architecture landscape, drive automation, and make sure solutions meet non‑functional requirements such as security, performance, scalability, quality, and stability.

You will also support project management with structure planning, effort estimation, resource allocation, and the selection of vendors and partners. On top of that, you’ll contribute regularly to the Enterprise Architecture Chapter and help co‑workers grow by consulting and upskilling them in SAP CRM architecture topics.
