Sr SAP BASIS Administrator

Gore is in the midst of a multi-year project to implement S/4HANA in a greenfield cloud environment. As an organization, Gore is new to SAP and is transitioning away from JD Edwards/Enterprise One ERP. About a third of Gore businesses use SAP and we are actively rolling out SAP to the rest of the business over the next 2 years.  We partnered with SAP for running S/4HANA on SAP’s managed services platform, Enterprise Cloud Services (formerly HEC/Rise). Our landscape includes multiple S/4HANA landscapes, MDG, Solutions Manager, GTS / TM and various Cloud Platform/BTP components including SAC, CPI, and cloud identity components (IAG, IAS, IPS). Our landscape will also include SAP SaaS applications such as Success factors Ariba, GRDC, and IBP.  We seek an experienced BASIS administrator to provide knowledge, experience, hands-on skills, and technical mentorship.
