Job description
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.
Job requirements
Key responsibilities
• Analyse SAP system landscapes and identify performance bottlenecks.
• Provide expert recommendations to customers on system configuration and optimisation.
• Advise on the changes required to ensure optimal performance of external tools and processes.
• Review architecture across SAP versions and database platforms.
• Guide best practices for:
– System performance tuning
– Data volume management (excluding archiving strategies)
• 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).
Required skills & experience
• 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.
• Ability to assess complex landscapes and provide clear, actionable recommendations.
Strong understanding of key SAP tables and data structures – particularly the large-volume tables that dominate performance and data-intensive operations:
Preferred qualifications
• Experience in S/4HANA conversions or transformation programmes.
• Exposure to SAP functional processes (FI, MM, SD, etc.).
• Experience advising clients in high-impact or large-scale environments.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
