About the team you are joining
Reporting to the Director Central Data Office and Architecture, and in collaboration with other stakeholders across IATA I&D and IATA Corporate Service teams, you will drive enterprise-level direction and governance of a multiyear, ERP (SAP) migration program delivered in partnership with one or more System Integrators.
With a strong ERP domain background, you will be ensuring that technology investments deliver coherent, scalable, and business aligned outcomes. While day-to-day build activities will be led by SIs, you will ensure that all designs align with enterprise architecture standards, agreed roadmaps, and long-term business objectives.

Serve as ERP Architecture Authority: Provide clear architectural direction for the SAP migration program, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and guiding system integrators and internal teams.
Translate Strategy into Architecture: Engage senior stakeholders to convert business objectives into ERP target capabilities, principles, and an actionable architecture roadmap.
Own and Govern ERP Roadmap: Maintain alignment across processes, data, integrations, security, and infrastructure while providing assessment and recommendations on the deployment options.
Validate Solution Designs: Review and approve SI-produced designs for compliance with SAP best practices, enterprise standards, data governance, and non-functional requirements.
Ensure End-to-End Integrity: Oversee integration across SAP modules and surrounding systems, preventing siloed or fragmented implementations.
Lead Data Architecture & Migration: Collaborate with Data Governance to define master data ownership, quality standards, and migration strategy, including cutover sequencing.
