• Communicate project status, technical issues, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders, technical teams, and leadership.
• Contribute to the development, documentation, and continuous improvement of technical standards, operational procedures, and SAP administration best practices.
• Support the continued modernization, enhancement, and optimization of enterprise SAP infrastructure and database systems.

Education & Experience Requirements:
