SAP Specialist / SAP Lead Architect

Royal Mail is embarking on one of the most significant technology transformations in its history - and we're looking for exceptional SAP specialists to help shape the future.

For more than 20 years, our core ERP and SAP systems have supported Finance, HR, and Commercial operations across the organisation. Today, these legacy platforms are fragmented, heavily customised, and approaching end of life. To secure our future and unlock new capability, we are delivering a multi year, enterprise-wide transformation built on SAP S/4

HANA, SAP Success Factors, and SAP BRIM.

This is your opportunity to play a defining role in a once in a generation programme.

Our Future ERP Programme will modernise and simplify Royal Mail's technology landscape through a phased rollout of:

  HANA - Core Finance, Group Reporting, Advanced Financial Closing, SAP Analytics Cloud
• SAP Success Factors - Employee Central, Payroll, Onboarding, Compensation, Analytics
• SAP BRIM - Billing and Revenue Innovation Management, integrated with SAP Datasphere, CPQ, Price Management and Customer Portal

The programme will deliver Accelerated Finance first, followed by Enhanced Finance, HR Core, and Commercial Transformation - creating a unified, data driven, agile enterprise.

As an SAP Specialist / SAP Lead Architect, you will be the subject matter expert for one or more of our core functional areas (Finance, HR, Payroll, or Commercial). You will shape, design, and assure the solutions that underpin Royal Mail's future operations.

• Work closely with senior stakeholders to understand business needs and translate them into scalable, secure, compliant solutions
• Lead solution design in a complex, multi supplier environment
• Ensure solutions align with Royal Mail's architecture principles, security standards, and financial governance

This is a role for someone who thrives on complexity, brings a pragmatic and delivery focused mindset, and wants to influence the future of a national institution.

• Deep knowledge of SAP S/4
  
  HANA, SAP BTP, and SAP SaaS applications
• Experience delivering end to end SAP solutions in large, complex organisations
• Strong understanding of integration patterns (APIs, events, IDoc/OData) and SAP Basis
• Experience in cloud transformation or ECC S/4
  
  HANA migration programmes
• For Finance roles: expertise across FI, CO, FSCM, FM, TRM and integration with SD, MM, HCM, Success Factors
• For Commercial roles: knowledge of BRIM, SAP configuration, BAdIs, BRF, VOFM, VC/AVC, Material Master & Variant Config

• Ability to lead solution design and influence cross functional teams
• Strong communication skills, able to engage both technical and non technical audiences
• Experience working in outsourced, multi supplier environments
• A proactive, can do approach and resilience in fast paced, high pressure delivery environments

This is more than a technology upgrade - it's a transformation of how Royal Mail operates. You'll be joining at a pivotal moment, with the chance to:

• Shape the architecture of a national organisation
• Work with the latest SAP technologies
• Influence strategic decisions and drive meaningful change
