SAP Basis Performance Consultant

We are looking for an experienced SAP Basis consultant to act as a performance advisor for complex SAP landscapes. This is an advisory role rather than hands-on system administration: the focus is on analysing environments and providing expert recommendations that optimise system performance and ensure compatibility with specialised transformation tools.

You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team delivering large-scale SAP initiatives, including data migrations, carve-outs, data deletions, upgrades and transformations. Your recommendations will directly shape how efficiently and safely these projects run.

Requirements

Key responsibilities

• Analyse SAP system landscapes and identify performance bottlenecks.

• Provide expert recommendations to customers on system configuration and optimisation.

• Review architecture across SAP versions and database platforms.

• Guide best practices for:

– System performance tuning

• Data volume management (excluding archiving strategies)

• Support planning activities for data migrations, system carve-outs, and upgrades and transformations.

• Collaborate with technical and functional teams to align recommendations with project goals.

• Provide input on database-level considerations across Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SAP HANA.

• Assist in analysing ABAP-related performance issues (traces, dumps and inefficient programs).
