SAP Enterprise AI Architect

Simple Fi Solutions is an SAP Gold Partner delivering best-of-breed financial solutions for the Office of the CFO. We architect and implement organizational analytics, reporting, consolidation, and planning solutions on SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP Business Data Cloud, BPC, and Group Reporting. Our Plani Fi pre-packaged solutions accelerate time to value for finance and FP&A teams at companies ranging from mid-market to the Fortune 100.

As enterprise AI rapidly reshapes finance, data, and analytics, we are investing in a leadership role to define, deliver, and govern our next generation of AI-powered services and internal capabilities.

The SAP Enterprise AI Architect is a senior leadership role with a dual mandate: lead our external Enterprise AI services for clients, and build and govern internal agentic AI capabilities that make Simple Fi a faster, smarter consultancy. You will partner closely with our existing leaders across Product Development, SAP Analytics Cloud Planning (SACP), and SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) to weave AI into how we deliver value to the Office of the CFO.

This is a build-and-lead role for someone who can move fluently between executive strategy, hands-on architecture, and team enablement — and who sees SAP as the anchor of an enterprise AI strategy but is not constrained by it.

• Lead architecture and delivery of Enterprise AI engagements for Simple Fi clients, with a strong center of gravity in finance, FP&A, consolidations, and analytics use cases.

• Translate CFO and finance-leader priorities into AI solution roadmaps — covering predictive forecasting, intelligent close, anomaly detection, narrative reporting, planning copilots, and agentic finance workflows.

• Architect solutions across the SAP Business AI stack, including SAP Joule, SAP AI Core and AI Foundation on BTP, SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud, and SAP Databricks.

• Extend beyond SAP where it serves the client: integrate best-of-breed LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, open-source), hyperscaler AI services (Azure AI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex), and frameworks for RAG, vector search, and orchestration (Lang Chain, Llama Index, CrewAI, Auto Gen, and similar).

• Own end-to-end solution design, from data foundation through model selection, prompt and agent design, integration, evaluation, security, and operationalization (MLOps / LLMOps).

• Act as the senior technical voice in pre-sales: shape proposals, lead client workshops, present at executive briefings, and represent Simple Fi at SAP and industry events.

• Define and own Simple Fi’s internal AI strategy — what we build, what we buy, and how AI gets embedded into our delivery, product development, and operations.

• Build and govern agentic AI agents that accelerate consulting delivery, internal operations, and Plani Fi product capabilities, in close partnership with Product Development, SACP, and BDC leaders.

• Establish responsible AI guardrails — data privacy, model selection criteria, evaluation, observability, auditability, and human-in-the-loop patterns appropriate for finance and enterprise data.

• Create reusable accelerators, reference architectures, and frameworks the broader team can leverage on client engagements.

• Coach and uplift existing Simple Fi teams on AI concepts, tools, and patterns — without disrupting the strong delivery culture they already have.

• Partner with Product Development on Plani Fi roadmap to identify and deliver AI-enabled features that differentiate Simple Fi’s offerings.

• Stay ahead of SAP’s Business AI roadmap (Joule, Joule Agents, Business Data Cloud, AI Foundation, BTP AI services) and translate what matters into actionable plans for clients and the firm.

• Contribute thought leadership through webinars, blogs, conference talks, and customer advisory engagements.

• 12–15+ years in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or AI/ML leadership roles, with significant time in the SAP ecosystem.

• Deep, hands-on…
