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.

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/4HANA, 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.
