Senior Solution Architect - SAP Observability (EMEA)
Are you a seasoned SAP expert ready to redefine how global enterprises achieve digital resilience? This isn't just a technical role; it's a chance to be the EMEA Thought Leader and technical champion for an innovative, SAP-certified platform. You will be instrumental in helping major customers move beyond traditional monitoring to achieving full-stack observability across their most critical business processes, from order-to-cash to procure-to-pay.
Your Opportunity:
Be the Trusted Advisor
You will join a dynamic, customer-obsessed team in a role that offers high autonomy and influence. We are seeking a technical leader who thrives on challenges and wants to make a direct, measurable impact on how businesses run.
- Pioneering a Product: You will act as a crucial conduit between customers and Product Management, directly influencing and guiding future platform enhancements for a new, high-growth offering. This is your chance to turn a daily grind into daily innovation.
- Career Elevation: Serve as the technical evangelist and subject matter expert for the EMEA region, building an impressive network of international contacts. This role provides a bigger challenge/scope and is designed for someone ready to step up to a visible leadership position.
- Work with the Best: Utilise your expertise in modern cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP) while working with state-of-the-art tools and equipment.
What You'll Do:
Drive the Technical Win
You will own the technical sales strategy, translating complex technical capabilities into clear, compelling business value for IT executives and technical teams alike.
- Deep Value Discovery: Conduct in-depth discovery into customer SAP landscapes—from legacy ECC to modern S/4HANA, RISE with SAP, and BTP—to align our end-to-end observability solution with their specific business outcomes.
- Deliver Compelling Proofs: Create and deliver powerful Proofs of Value (POVs) and demonstrations that showcase the unique advantage of our agentless, SAP-certified approach.
- Unify the View: Demonstrate a "single pane of glass" view, correlating performance metrics across infrastructure, application, user experience, and critical business process layers.
- Proactive Resilience: Show clients how to use dynamic baselining and AI-driven insights to anticipate and prevent critical issues like IDoc errors and slow background jobs before they impact the customer experience.
- Thought Leadership: Represent the company at industry events and conferences, contribute to training materials, and develop blog posts or whitepapers, helping to shape the market narrative.
- Collaborative Success: Work closely with Customer Success and Product Management to ensure smooth product adoption and customer satisfaction post-sale.
This Role Requires:
Expert-Level SAP & Observability Acumen
We are looking for a highly articulate and experienced professional who can serve as a technical trusted advisor.
- Technical Consulting Expertise: Significant, proven experience in a technical pre-sales, Solutions Architect, Technical Success, or consulting role, with a track record of translating complex technical capabilities into clear business value.
- SAP Architecture & BASIS Mastery: Deep, demonstrable expertise in SAP Technical Architecture or BASIS, with a proven ability to diagnose performance issues and understand system health logs (e.g., SM21, ST03N).
- Observability Platform Knowledge: Practical, hands-on experience with an observability platform covering Application Performance Monitoring (APM), Infrastructure Monitoring, Log Management, and Distributed Tracing.
- Business Acumen: Exceptional ability to present tailored solutions and handle technical objections with diverse audiences, including C-Level executives and technical practitioners.
- Cloud Architecture: Clear understanding of modern cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Bonus Points:
Stand Out from the Crowd
- SAP Monitoring Expert: Expert-level knowledge and practical experience with major SAP monitoring and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) platforms, such as SAP Solution Manager, Focused Run, or SAP Cloud ALM.
