Demonstrated ability to translate compliance requirements into data migration controls. * Excellent written and verbal communication; can move fluidly from executive readouts to deep technical review with the SI's data engineers. Nice to Have * Prior experience specifically with Oracle EBS as the source system. * Familiarity with SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) and its role in S/4HANA data landscapes. * Experience with Databricks, Snowflake, or similar platforms as staging or reconciliation environments for large-scale migrations. * SAP certifications (S/4HANA, Data Migration, or comparable). * Experience in regulated environments beyond baseline compliance - audit-heavy sectors such as financial services, healthcare, life sciences, pharma, or government. ## Description Edgewater Federal Solutions is seeking a SAP Solutions Architect to support a major national laboratory. Our position is remote. Responsibilities Serve as the client-side senior authority on SAP data migration; face off to the System Integrator's data lead as a technical peer. * Review and challenge the SI's data migration approach and push back where the approach carries unnecessary risk, cost, or downstream operational burden. * Advise the program on migration architecture decisions specific to greenfield S/4HANA from non-SAP sources (Oracle EBS, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, custom systems), including source-to-target data model translation and legacy-concept-to-SAP-concept mapping. * Advise on tooling selection when the SI's approach is still open and evaluate trade-offs on fit, cost, timeline, and regulated-industry auditability. Hands-on Coordination & Delivery * Own day-to-day execution coordination of the client-side data workstream across all domains. * Keep the migration task plan current, flag slippage early, and drive resolution. * Serve as the daily point of contact with the SI's data migration team; track integrator deliverables and escalate delays. * Run regular working sessions with client data owners and the integrator's team; chase open actions, decisions, and deliverables between meetings. Data Cleansing & Quality * Set and monitor cleansing standards across data domains against agreed quality thresholds; validate that the SI's quality criteria are fit for S/4HANA go-live. * Coordinate with business data owners to keep cleansing on schedule; unblock issues with the right people rather than deferring upward. * Surface data quality risks the SI may not flag (missing legacy concepts, silent data loss in transformation, dependencies across domains) before they become critical. Load Cycles & Reconciliation * Organize and track mock load cycles across all domains. * Review reconciliation results independently of the SI. * Ensure business teams complete validation tasks within cycle windows and that findings are actioned. Governance, Compliance & Cutover * Ensure data migration activities comply with the organization's data classification policy and applicable regulatory requirements throughout extraction, staging, transformation, and load. * Maintain the data migration cutover plan; coordinate extraction and load scheduling with the SI and technical teams. * Prepare data readiness inputs for go/no-go decisions and provide informed, independent risk assessment to program leadership. * Support hypercare on data-related issues post go-live. Reporting & Communication * Support migration status reporting and RAID logging for program leadership. ## Related Videos - [Replacing Excel with SAP APIs & Python validation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1944-replacing-excel-with-sap-apis-python-validation) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [Hacking AI at the Edge of the Indian Ocean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100177-hacking-ai-at-the-edge-of-the-indian-ocean) - [Beyond SQL Generation: How to Teach Agents What Your Database Actually Means](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100127-beyond-sql-generation-how-to-teach-agents-what-your-database-actually-means) ## Related Articles - [Best Companies to Work For in Berlin: Top 14 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/188-best-companies-to-work-for-in-berlin-top-14-companies-in-2023) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers)
