## Description

We are seeking a Senior SAP S/4HANA Data Architect to lead the strategy, governance, and delivery of enterprise data workstreams for a large-scale SAP S/4HANA implementation at a utilities client in Phoenix, AZ. This role is oriented toward architecture direction, governance, and workstream management - the candidate will define standards, direct the data team's execution, and manage delivery, rather than personally performing day-to-day data mapping or cleansing tasks. Utility industry experience is required, given the client's sector-specific data landscape (customer, meter, and asset data)., * Own the data architecture strategy and governance model for the SAP S/4HANA implementation and transformation program.

 * Define data migration, governance, quality, and master data management standards for the program.
 * Direct business and technical teams in designing scalable data models and integration solutions; review and approve designs.
 * Oversee (rather than personally execute) data mapping, cleansing, validation, conversion, and reconciliation activities performed by the data team.
 * Own project plans, timelines, risks, and deliverables for all data workstreams.
 * Coordinate with functional, technical, and integration leads to ensure the data workstream aligns with overall program delivery.
 * Direct testing strategy, cutover planning, and post-go-live data validation, with execution delegated to the data team.
 * Provide leadership, mentoring, and guidance to the data team, and represent the data workstream in steering committee and executive updates.
