• Team Empowerment & Culture: Lead, mentor, and re-energize the BASIS team by cultivating a strong engineering culture, technical curiosity, and high employee engagement.
• Innovation & Automation: Partner with cross-functional teams to champion digi-tal transformation projects, IT compliance automation, and enterprise AI use cas-es.
• Security & Compliance: Drive IT General Controls (ITGC) compliance, ensure adherence to local cybersecurity laws, and maintain robust Disaster Recovery (DR) readiness.
• Cost Management: Effectively manage the team budget and optimize resource costs within the approved annual plan.
Your Background & Qualifications
• Professional Experience: Approximately 10 years of progressive SAP BASIS experience, seamlessly bridging hands-on technical expertise with team leader-ship.
• Modern SAP Technologies: Deep, hands-on proficiency in SAP HANA data-base administration, performance tuning, and complex troubleshooting is essential.
• Landscape Mastery: Solid operational experience with IBM DB2, SAP ECC, GRC, EP, BW/BO landscapes, and MaxDB.
• Infrastructure & Cloud: Strong practical knowledge of enterprise OS (Windows Server, Linux, Pacemaker HA) and modern cloud architectures, preferably MS Azure.
• Leadership Style: A proven "player-coach" who takes strong ownership of deliv-erables, system stability, and team growth.
• Mindset & Soft Skills: Highly passionate about exploring new technologies, pos-sessing strategic/structural thinking, and demonstrating excellent presentation skills to bridge technical and business contexts.
• Education & Language: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, combined with fluent English communication skills.
