Key Responsibilities
- Lead SAP BASIS, Security, and Identity Governance activities through implementation and hypercare.

- Support technical teams implementing Microsoft Entra ID integrations and Single Sign-On solutions.
- Coordinate infrastructure, cybersecurity, implementation partners, and business stakeholders.
- Manage technical risks, RAID items, environment dependencies, and executive reporting.

- Deep expertise in SAP S/4HANA and BASIS administration in private cloud environments.
- Strong SAP Security, Authorization, and SAP IAG experience.
- Experience with Microsoft Entra ID integrations.

- Proficiency with Smartsheet, SharePoint Lists, and executive reporting tools.
- Ability to independently lead technical teams, manage risks, and challenge implementation partners.
Critical Screening Priorities
- SAP BASIS & Security: 10+ years of hands-on SAP technical leadership.
- SAP S/4HANA: Private cloud BASIS administration, environment management, and cutover.
- SAP IAG: Security authorizations, role design, SoD controls, and identity governance.
- Identity Integration: Microsoft Entra ID and Single Sign-On.
- Regulated Environments: FDA, GxP, SOX, or similar compliance requirements.
- Independent Ownership: Technical delivery leadership, partner management, and knowledge transfer.
Bottom Line
Looking for a senior SAP BASIS and Security leader with deep S/4HANA, IAG, and identity governance experience who can independently own technical platform delivery through go-live.
This is not a coordinator or general SAP Project Manager role. The consultant must personally drive technical decisions, resolve risks, and ensure the SAP platform and security model are ready for Day 1 operations.
