Job description As part of the strengthening of its Information Systems Department, our client is recruiting an ERP Information Systems Technical Architect.

Within the Governance and Performance division, and more specifically the Urban Planning and Architecture department, you will work on technical architecture topics related to the group's ERPs, notably SAP and other related environments such as Syteline.

Your role is to ensure the consistency, sustainability, and performance of the technical architectures implemented around ERPs, in compliance with the IT Master Plan and the standards defined by the IT department. You contribute to the transformation of the information system in a context of high complexity, marked by the coexistence of legacy environments and more recent solutions, particularly around the S/4HANA trajectory.

You coordinate and consolidate the expertise necessary for defining architectures, challenge integrators and vendors, and ensure the adequacy between the selected solutions, infrastructure constraints, and business needs. You also work on interface issues, inter-application flows, and integration between the ERP and the rest of the information system.

The position has a strong cross-functional dimension: you work in connection with urban planners, other architects, technical experts, solution managers, operations teams, integrators, and business stakeholders. You are also expected to act in an advisory, alerting, support, and monitoring role within your scope.

The position is set in a very build-oriented context, with numerous projects underway or upcoming, and strong exposure to the company's transformation challenges.
