ERP Solution Architect

PolyPeptide is on a transformative growth journey – expanding globally, investing in new technologies, and increasing our production capacity through major site expansions and strategic projects.

As part of this journey, we are launching a global SAP S/4HANA implementation in a greenfield setup, building a brand-new ERP foundation from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join at the very beginning and help define how systems, data, and processes are connected across our global business over the coming years.

As ERP Solution Architect, you will be at the very center of this transformation – shaping our digital core and enterprise architecture from day one. You will play a strategic and hands-on role in designing an ERP landscape that supports operational excellence today and enables future innovation across the organization.

About the Role

As ERP Solution Architect, you will step into a strategic role at the very heart of our global ERP transformation. You will be responsible for defining and driving the overall SAP S/4HANA architecture – from initial greenfield design to long-term evolution – ensuring alignment across business domains and IT.

You will work closely with business stakeholders, SAP consultants, and internal solution managers to translate business needs into integrated, scalable, and future-ready solutions that support our growth and regulatory requirements across all global sites.

While this is not a hands-on configuration role, we are looking for someone with solid technical insight into SAP and a deep understanding of how to design and evaluate high-quality solutions – including the ability to challenge and validate architectural decisions from implementation partners.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Serve as lead architect for the SAP S/4HANA greenfield implementation and future roadmap.

• Translate complex business requirements into robust end-to-end SAP solution designs (Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Plan-to-Deliver, Record-to-Report, etc.).

• Validate and challenge architectural decisions from our SAP partners, ensuring alignment with industry standards, pharma regulations, and business needs.

• Define and maintain SAP architecture principles, governance frameworks, and integration strategies.

• Drive process harmonization, system integration, and data consistency across all business functions.

• Evaluate emerging SAP technologies (e.g., BTP, Cloud ALM) and advise on their adoption.

• Mentor SAP project teams and act as technical counterpart to Solution Managers.

Your Profile

To succeed in this role, we believe you bring:

• A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or similar.

• 10+ years of experience within SAP ERP architecture and implementation.

• Proven track record with SAP S/4HANA, ideally in greenfield implementations.

• Industry experience from CDMO/pharma or other regulated industries is a plus.

• Broad understanding of SAP modules and integration points.

• Knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks and governance models.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

• A collaborative, proactive, and analytical mindset – with the ability to bridge business and IT.

• Proficient in English, both speaking and writing.
