About Protera
Protera is a global leader in SAP and IT managed services, founded in 1998 and built on more than 25 years of combined cloud and SAP expertise. We help SAP-centric organizations in manufacturing, financial services, CPG & retail, life sciences, and energy modernize, migrate, and run their SAP landscapes – including RISE with SAP and Cloud ERP, SAP Technical Services, SAP Security, SAP BTP, and Functional AMS – across SAP, Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Our CloudVantage platform (ProSuite and TeraAI) extends that expertise with proprietary automation and AI-driven operations. We describe ourselves as “small enough to listen, large enough to deliver,” and our culture is guided by curiosity, impact, authenticity, and celebration.
Position Summary
Protera is hiring an experienced SAP Solutions Architect to serve as the primary technical partner to our sales organization throughout the deal cycle. You will translate prospect and customer business requirements into credible, differentiated SAP solution architectures – spanning RISE with SAP, S/4HANA migration, Functional AMS, SAP Basis and technical operations, SAP BTP, and hyperscaler-hosted managed services – and you will own the technical narrative in presentations, proofs of concept, and RFP/RFI responses. This is a senior, client-facing role for someone who has spent 10+ years designing and running enterprise SAP landscapes and who now wants to apply that depth to winning new business rather than only delivering it.
