SAP Futures Integration Lead

Project overview

This contract role leads integration architecture and governance for a SAP Futures transformation, with an initial focus on the SuccessFactors landscape and subsequent work across Finance, Student and People Services. The core requirements are SAP integration leadership on a major transformation, hands-on SuccessFactors integration knowledge, SAP Integration Suite (CPI) and SAP PO/PI experience, and the ability to define target architectures, catalogues, decommissioning plans and integration strategy.

The role assures the systems integrator’s designs and delivery against scope; it does not build the SuccessFactors interfaces or own Basis configuration. Higher education, SLcM/student interfaces, HESA reporting, identity integrations, Concur, S/4HANA and third-party payroll or benefits integrations are desirable. The structured experience band is 6–8 years, and the location is Leicester; work mode is not specified. The description does not state a different experience band or work arrangement.

Responsibilities

• Act as integration lead at Technical Review Board and design authority sessions.
• Keep integration risks, issues and dependencies current in the programme RAID log, and report progress weekly to the SAP Technical Programme Manager.
• Work with Basis on Integration Suite environments, access and connectivity.
• A signed-off SuccessFactors To-Be integration architecture, with the pattern and owner confirmed for every People Services interface.
• A decommissioning plan for interfaces and manual processes that can be retired after SuccessFactors go-live, plus the list of those that must stay until S/4HANA.
• One maintained integration catalogue covering Finance, Student and People Services, with an agreed process for keeping it current.
• A complete list of Student interfaces.
• A SAP Futures integration strategy aligned to the DMU Integration Strategy, including the PO to Integration Suite roadmap and the integration governance and support model.
• The Integration Lead owns integration design and the catalogue. These stay elsewhere
• Build and delivery of SuccessFactors interfaces — NTT DATA under the Statement of Work. This role assures their work rather than building it.
• Concur identity and ICS add-on decisions — SAP Technical Programme Manager.
• Integration Suite tenants, access and Basis configuration — SAP Basis team. This role sets requirements.
