SAP Integration Lead

The Integration Lead gives SAP Futures a single owner for integration.

The programme is moving from ECC and SAP Process Orchestration (PO) to SuccessFactors, Concur and S/4HANA, with SAP Integration Suite on BTP as the target middleware.

The role defines the To-Be integration landscape, works out what can be switched off after go-live, builds one integration catalogue across Finance and turns that into a full SAP Futures integration strategy aligned to the Integration Strategy.

The first four pieces of work run in this order. Each builds on the one before.

Hybrid - 3 days per week working from home, 2 days working in the office

• Create the To-Be integration architecture for SuccessFactors, covering Employee Central, Payroll (ECP), Recruitment, Onboarding, Learning, Performance & Goals and People Analytics.
• Confirm the integration pattern for each interface: SAP Integration Suite (CPI), point-to-point or Integration Center. Agree where each one should sit.
• Work with NTT DATA to check their designs against the To-Be view. Track the custom interfaces and how the contingency allowance is used.
• Drive open items to closure with People Services, Finance and D&T. These include pension and benefits automation, Worktribe, SWP/timetabling, Key Travel, HESA staff returns and the OpenText IDM identity interfaces.

• Compare the To-Be landscape with today's ECC, PO and Gateway interfaces. Identify what can be switched off after SuccessFactors go-live.
• Produce a decommissioning plan with dependencies, owners, retirement dates and checks, including for manual file transfers and reports that new integrations replace.
• Flag interfaces that must stay until the S/4HANA conversion, such as Agent Portal and the remaining PO interfaces.

3. Integration catalogue for Finance, Student and People Services

• Build and own one integration catalogue across Finance, Student and People Services. Use the existing SAP interface inventory and the ECC/PO/Gateway extract as the start point.
• Record for each interface: source, target, middleware, direction, data, frequency, owner, standard or custom, and status (current, To-Be, retire).
• Set up a process to keep the catalogue current, so ownership does not lapse again.

The right candidate is a hands-on SAP integration specialist who can also think at strategy level. They can pick up a partly documented landscape, establish the facts, and give a clear current and target picture quickly.
