SAP Architect

Microvast runs SAP S/4

HANA on RISE as the backbone of its global battery manufacturing business, with company codes and business processes spanning the US, Germany, and China. Following our S/4

HANA upgrade, priority has shifted from implementation to disciplined operation: every change to the system needs to be tracked, justified, documented, and reflected in our process and architecture documentation.

The SAP Architect owns that discipline. This is not a hands-on-keyboard configuration role, though you need the technical depth to review and challenge configuration and development work. Your job is to keep the SAP landscape documented and audit ready as the business changes it.

• Own the intake, tracking, and disposition of all SAP change requests affecting business processes, from submission through deployment and documentation closure.
• Run the SAP change advisory process: assess business justification, cross-module impact, SOX/ITGC implications, and licensing impact (FUE) before changes are approved.
• Maintain a single system of record for design documentation and change requests with status, ownership, approvals, and links to transports and documentation. No change goes live without a documented trail.

• Build and maintain the current-state business process documentation library for all SAP-supported processes (OTC, PTP, RTR, PP, QM, EWM/WM, and finance close), covering US, Germany, and China variants.
• Create as-built architecture diagrams for all existing SAP solutions where none exist today, then keep them current: system landscape, integration map (Workday Adaptive Planning, MES, Manage Engine, banking interfaces, EDI), data flows, custom development inventory, and authorization concept. Much of the current landscape is undocumented, so expect retroactive documentation to be a large share of the first year’s work.
• Define the documentation standard (what a process document must contain, who owns it, how often it gets reviewed) and hold process owners to it.
• Ensure every approved change request results in updated process documentation and diagrams before the change is considered closed.

• Own SAP solution design decisions: build vs. configure, clean core adherence, BTP extension strategy, and integration patterns.
• Review custom development (ABAP, CDS, Fiori) for architectural fit and remediation debt, including post-upgrade SPAU/SPDD cleanup items.
• Support annual ITGC audit cycles (currently Deloitte, US and China streams) with process narratives, control evidence, and system documentation.
• Advice on SAP commercial and licensing questions, including FUE consumption tracking against contract entitlements.

• Develop the architecture mindset within the current SAP functional team. Module experts today think in terms of their own configuration; this role teaches them to think in terms of end-to-end process, cross-module impact, and documentation as part of the work rather than an afterthought.
• Write the reference documentation set (a process document, a solution design, and an architecture diagram package) that the team will use as its template and quality bar.
• Coach functional team members and offshore consultants through their first documentation and design deliverables, reviewing their work against the standard until it holds without supervision.
• Run periodic working…
