SAP Consultant
We are looking for an experienced SAP Basis consultant to act as a performance advisor for complex SAP landscapes. This is an advisory role rather than hands‑on system administration: the focus is on analysing environments and providing expert recommendations that optimise system performance and ensure compatibility with specialised transformation tools.
You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team delivering large‑scale SAP initiatives, including data migrations, carve-outs, data deletions, upgrades and transformations. Your recommendations will directly shape how efficiently and safely these projects run.
Key responsibilities- Analyse SAP system landscapes and identify performance bottlenecks.
- Provide expert recommendations to customers on system configuration and optimisation.
- Advise on the changes required to ensure optimal performance of external tools and processes.
- Review architecture across SAP versions and database platforms.
Guide best practices for:
- System performance tuning
- Data volume management (excluding archiving strategies)
- Support planning activities for data migrations, system carve‑outs, and upgrades and transformations.
- Collaborate with technical and functional teams to align recommendations with project goals.
- Provide input on database‑level considerations across Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SAP HANA.
- Assist in analysing ABAP‑related performance issues (traces, dumps and inefficient programs).
- Strong background in SAP Basis architecture and performance optimisation.
- Experience across multiple SAP versions (ECC, S/4
HANA, etc.). - Deep understanding of database platforms:
Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SAP HANA. - Working knowledge of ABAP performance analysis.
- Proven experience in SAP projects involving data migrations, carve‑outs and system upgrades.
- Ability to assess complex landscapes and provide clear, actionable recommendations.
Strong understanding of key SAP tables and data structures – particularly the large‑volume tables that dominate performance and data‑intensive operations.
Preferred qualifications- Experience in S/4
HANA conversions or transformation programmes. - Exposure to SAP functional processes (FI, MM, SD, etc.).
- Experience advising clients in high‑impact or large‑scale environments.
- Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills.
