Step into a high-impact SAP leadership role within one of Australia's most recognisable FMCG brands. This is an opportunity to own the technical direction, standards, and delivery outcomes across a large, complex SAP ECC and S/4HANA environment, and drive genuine engineering uplift across teams and partners.
Unlike typical technical lead roles, this position gives you true ownership of SAP development strategy, enterprise-wide influence, and the ability to modernise the landscape with HANA-optimised development, UX uplift, DevOps enablement, and continuous delivery practices.
If you've led SAP development across multi-vendor environments, and want a role where your leadership actually shapes delivery maturity, this is the one.
What you'll be doing
* Set the technical direction and engineering standards across ABAP, OO, HANA, integrations & secure development
* Act as the key authority for design decisions, trade-offs, and technical governance
* Lead multi-vendor delivery across onshore, offshore, and captive teams
* Ensure high-quality build: code reviews, performance, specifications, enhancements, integrations, upgrade readiness (SPAU/SPDD)
* Strengthen platform health by managing technical debt, vulnerabilities, and compliance
* Uplift team capability and modernise delivery through Fiori/UX improvements, automation & DevOps practices
* Establish predictable, scalable delivery through improved tooling, CI/CD patterns, and engineering discipline
* Shape a "one-team" culture across internal and external delivery partners
What you'll bring
* Strong ABAP, HANA, Fiori & upgrade (SPAU/SPDD) knowledge
* 10+ years SAP ABAP development experience (ABAP OO, HANA, integrations, IDOCs, BAPIs, RFCs, enhancements, forms)
* Strong experience across SAP ECC modules (FI, SD, MM, PP, HR) and S/4HANA
* Deep understanding of integration patterns, performance optimisation & secure-by-design development
* Experience delivering in complex enterprise environments with multi-vendor/offshore models
* Ability to influence architecture, delivery teams, and partners without direct authority
* Strong communication and decision-making skills – able to translate complex technical detail into business outcomes
* Experience with Fiori, Personas, and modern UX concepts
* Background in FMCG or Retail highly desirable due to pace, scale, and operational complexity
