SAP Technology Integration Lead
A major SAP S/4HANA implementation programme in Indonesia is looking for a Senior Manager to lead the technology integration workstream end-to-end. The engagement involves designing and governing the full integration architecture between SAP S/4HANA and a complex landscape of third-party, legacy, and cloud systems — built on SAP Integration Suite (CPI). This is a leadership role with direct accountability for workstream delivery, integration governance, team management, and the client relationship at technical lead level.
Key responsibilities:
- Define the integration architecture and design patterns for the SAP S/4HANA programme — covering synchronous and asynchronous interfaces, API-led connectivity, and event-driven scenarios
- Lead design and hands-on governance of integration flows built on SAP Integration Suite / CPI — including iFlow standards, error handling frameworks, security, monitoring, and versioning
- Own the interface inventory and drive interface design workshops with functional workstream leads and client technical teams
- Govern integration testing across all layers — unit, SIT, and end-to-end — and own resolution of critical-path interface failures
- Manage a team of integration developers and analysts; responsible for code review standards, capacity planning, and delivery quality
- Engage at programme director and CTO level on the client side — presenting integration architecture decisions, managing scope, and handling escalations
- Identify and mitigate integration risks across the programme; raise issues proactively with the programme manager
- Contribute to PwC's integration practice: reusable assets, accelerators, and methodology development
Requirements:
- 10+ years in SAP or enterprise integration, with at least 3 years in an integration workstream lead or technical architect capacity on large-scale SAP programmes
- Deep hands-on expertise in SAP Integration Suite (CPI) — iFlow design, adapter configuration, error handling, and operational monitoring
- Strong command of integration patterns: synchronous vs. asynchronous, request-reply, publish-subscribe, event-driven
- Proven experience governing an integration team on a complex programme — standards, reviews, test governance, and delivery accountability
- Hands-on experience with SAP S/4HANA integration scenarios: IDoc, BAPI, OData, REST, SOAP
- Experience managing integration scope and architecture decisions with senior client stakeholders
- Prior delivery experience at a consulting firm (Big 4 or SAP partner) is strongly preferred
Nice to have:
- SAP API Management and SAP Event Mesh experience
- Exposure to SAP BTP beyond Integration Suite — BTP Extension Suite, CAP framework, or SAP Build
- Experience with SAP MDG integration hub design in multi-entity landscapes
- SAP Integration Suite certification
This role suits a senior integration specialist who is equally comfortable at the whiteboard designing an architecture, in the weeds reviewing an iFlow's error handling logic, and in the boardroom defending a technical decision to a CTO. Candidates from a pure PI/PO background without hands-on CPI delivery will find the technical bar of this role difficult to meet.
