You will define technical standards for solution extensibility and integration in our global S/4HANA template, ensuring Clean Core and scalable, future-proof architecture.
This is a strategic leadership position combining technical depth with team leadership and offers the opportunity to directly shape how Liebherr builds and integrates solutions across SAP and non-SAP platforms globally.

- Establish and enforce global development and integration standards, coding conventions, security guidelines, and CI/CD pipelines for SAP and BTP environments.
- Work closely with functional stream leads, enterprise architects and business process owners to ensure extensibility and integration support business goals without compromising Clean Core.
- Ensure system stability, performance and reliability across custom developments, interfaces, APIs, and integration flows, proactively identifying and resolving architectural risks.
- Build a high-performing, multicultural development and integration team, fostering innovation, knowledge sharing, and collaboration across global locations
- Ensure development and integration changes follow release and transport governance, and that architecture and solution documentation are maintained using Jira and Confluence.
Contributing your strengths: your qualifications
