We’re assisting one of our global technology partners in the UAE to find a Technical Lead – SAP S/4HANA Maintenance to join their team.

• Coordinate system upgrades, patches, and transport management in collaboration with Basis and ABAP teams.
• Troubleshoot integration issues between SAP and non-SAP applications.
• Conduct root cause analysis, document recurring issues, and implement permanent fixes.
• Work closely with internal and external teams to ensure system stability, uptime, and security compliance.
• Mentor junior support engineers and promote SAP best practices.

To be considered for this role, you need to meet the following criteria:• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 10+ years of hands-on experience in SAP support or technical maintenance roles.
• Strong experience with SAP S/4HANA, including system configuration, transport management, and troubleshooting.
• Proficiency in one or more core SAP modules (FI/CO, MM, SD, PP, HR).
• Experience in Application Management Services (AMS), incident management, and service-level-based support environments.
• Familiarity with SAP Basis operations, ABAP debugging, and integration using APIs, BAPIs, and IDOCs.
• Knowledge of SAP Solution Manager, Fiori, and cloud-hosted S/4HANA environments is a plus.
• Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to lead small technical teams.
