Position Summary

At e.l.f. Beauty, we are looking for an SAP Technical Lead to spearhead the evolution of our global landscape following a successful S/4HANA Greenfield implementation.

In this pivotal role, you will serve as the architect of our technical future—driving high-level architectural decisions, enforcing robust technical governance, and scaling our high-performing SAP team in India. We are seeking a growth mindset: a leader who has mastered today’s core technologies but remains hungry to explore and implement the next generation of SAP innovations across S/4HANA Cloud and BTP.

Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and manage a hybrid team of internal ABAP developers and vendor technical consultants, fostering a culture of high performance and professional growth.

Plan, prioritize, and oversee technical deliverables for our S/4HANA Cloud environment, ensuring seamless execution across implementations, upgrades, and support.

Serve as the primary advocate for a "Clean Core" strategy, ensuring all extensions follow modern SAP best practices to keep our landscape lean and upgradable.

Collaborate closely with functional leads (RTR, OTC, PTP, and Planning) and IT stakeholders to align technical architectures with global business objectives.

Remain actively engaged in technical delivery, including hands-on coding, debugging, performance optimization, and resolving complex architectural challenges.

Review and approve technical specifications, code, and documentation to ensure high quality and strict alignment with established SAP development standards.

Lead the Change Advisory Board (CAB) process and release management protocols to ensure stable and governed deployments.

Proactively research and pilot emerging SAP technologies, such as SAP Build, Generative AI (Joule), and advanced Analytics, to drive business value.

Design and develop modern applications using ABAP on HANA, SAP UI5/Fiori, and ABAP on Cloud extensions within the SAP BTP environment.

Apply Agile/Scrum methodologies to manage development sprints, balancing multiple technical priorities and stakeholder expectations simultaneously.

Provide technical insights into the long-term SAP roadmap, identifying opportunities to replace legacy custom code with standard next-generation features.

Communicate development status, risks, and innovation opportunities clearly and regularly to leadership and key global stakeholders.

Requirements

Over 12 years of hands-on experience in SAP development, with at least 3 years specifically in a technical leadership or architectural role.

Expertise in S/4HANA with deep proficiency in the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) and Core Data Services (CDS).

Advanced skills in SAP Fiori and UI5 development, specifically utilizing Business Application Studio (BAS) on SAP BTP for UX design and extensions.

Strong command of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for building and managing side-by-side extensions and cloud-native applications.

Solid conceptual understanding of SAP Integration Suite (CPI) to guide integration best practices between S/4HANA and external systems.

Deep experience in performance tuning and optimization within HANA environments to ensure system health and efficiency.

Demonstrated "Growth Mindset" with a track record of self-driven learning and successful implementation of emerging SAP tools.

Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently on complex tasks while collaborating effectively with global teams.

Proven ability to translate complex technical architectures into clear, actionable insights for functional teams and non-technical stakeholders.

Familiarity with Agile/Scrum tools such as JIRA and Confluence to manage structured development activities.

Working knowledge of SAP-specific development methodologies, including SDLC, OSS incident handling, and notes implementation.

Strong teamwork and initiative, with the ability to engage across different time zones and cross-functional communities to achieve project goals.
