PSL Lead Architect (d/f/m) E2E Planning and Logistics

In this role, you will design, orchestrate, and guide the architecture for major transversal projects in our CoE. You will lead our journey to modernize our core ERP landscape—specifically driving the transformation towards modern SAP S/4HANA architectures—while establishing robust integration frameworks and embedding advanced Data & AI capabilities to strengthen the resilience and intelligence of our entire operational portfolio.

Your location

You will be working at the largest production site for civil aircraft situated in Hamburg. Its location on the southern banks of the river Elbe includes the option to commute by ferry. Experience the special flair of Hamburg in your spare time where vibrant cosmopolitan culture meets nautic legacy.

Our Benefits for You

Fair Compensation & Extras: Attractive remuneration and individual additional benefits, such as company pension schemes, mobility offers (e.g., bike leasing), or corporate discounts with partner companies in accordance with our current guidelines.
Time for You (and Your Loved Ones): 30 days of annual leave based on our collective agreement (35-hour week); work-life balance through flexible working hours (flextime), mobile working, part-time options, job sharing, and sabbatical opportunities.
Growth Made Easy: Excellent professional development opportunities and international, group-wide career perspectives.
Feel Good at Work: On-site company doctor; comprehensive health programs (sports courses, preventive care, etc.), canteen and cafeteria, and local childcare facilities at selected locations.
Diversity Connects: Work in a diverse environment with more than 140 nationalities, where exchange, mutual support, and inclusion are part of our DNA.

Your tasks and responsibilities

Act as the Integration & Alignment Wheel: Serve as the crucial bridge between Enterprise Architecture and product lines, ensuring total alignment between business capability planning, SAP core processes, and modern application design.
Orchestrate Hybrid SAP & Cloud Modernization: Guide the evolutionary architecture of our core execution engines, overseeing the modern transition to SAP S/4HANA and modern SAP cloud environments. You will ensure seamless, high-performance integration across hybrid ecosystems (including SAP S/4HANA, AWS Cloud, Palantir Foundry, MuleSoft APIs, and specialized on-premise industrial solutions).
Design Advanced Data & AI Architectures: Embed data-driven architectures and intelligent capabilities into the planning and logistics workflow. You will leverage modern data fabrics, semantic layers, and predictive AI/ML models to liberate SAP-bound data and enable automated forecasting, supply chain optimization, and real-time operational visibility.
Enforce Modern Integration Patterns: Champion robust, scalable, and secure integration standards—including API-first design (e.g., REST, OData), Event-Driven Architectures (EDA), and real-time data streaming—to ensure highly decoupled and flexible systems between SAP and non-SAP environments.
Drive Application Portfolio Resilience: Coordinate the product line's technical roadmap, proactively managing technical debt across legacy and modern ERP systems, identifying obsolescence risks, and overseeing rigorous architecture reviews.
Architectural Modeling & Mapping: Utilize standard modelisation frameworks (Archimate, UML, BPMN) to map, optimize, and communicate end-to-end data flows, business processes, and system-to-system topologies.
Translate Complexity to Drive Convergence (Key Focus): Manage a diverse set of business and IT stakeholders by explaining complex technical, SAP, data, and integration concepts in simple, value-driven terms to secure timely consensus.
Animate the Architecture Network: Foster a community of practice, driving collaboration, sharing modern patterns (especially around hybrid SAP integration and AI), and advocating for architectural best practices across cross-functional teams.

Desired skills and qualifications

Senior Architecture Experience: Proven background in Enterprise, Solutions, or Integration Architecture, with deep expertise designing complex, large-scale software portfolios.
Agile & Collaborative Leadership: Strong coordination and leadership skills with experience working in transnational, multifunctional teams using Agile/Scaled Agile frameworks.
SAP & Supply Chain Domain Expertise: Strong functional and conceptual understanding of end-to-end Planning, Logistics, and Supply Chain processes, combined with solid experience navigating SAP ERP ecosystems (S/4HANA, legacy SAP landscapes, or SAP modules like PP/DS, MM, SD, or EWM).
Modern Integration & Cloud Patterns: Deep technical knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS), modern API gateways/ESBs (MuleSoft, SAP BTP/Integration Suite), event brokers, and hybrid-cloud integration strategies.
Data & AI Literacy: Solid understanding of data engineering, data platform architectures (such as Palantir Foundry, data lakes, or data meshes), and experience integrating AI/ML models into transactional and decision-support systems.
Architectural Modeling: Proficiency in modeling standards such as Archimate, UML, and BPMN.
Stakeholder Management & Communication: Exceptional ability to translate highly complex technical, integration, and SAP topologies into clear business impacts to influence, convince, and align stakeholders at all levels.
Strategic Acumen: Experience building architectural roadmaps, managing technical debt, and balancing rapid innovation with risk mitigation.
Languages: Advanced level in English, French is a plus
