YOUR FUTURE ROLE
The IT Planning Team consists of about 40 globally distributed architects, with 17 of us based in the St. Leon Rot office. The team consists of Enterprise Architects, Migration Architects and Technology Architects.

Additionally, SAP Cloud solutions (SAP Cloud ERP and SAP BTP) are of relevance. This learning phase will consist of attending SAP standard trainings, supporting customer service deliveries and updating existing content.
