Practice Head

SAP Practice Head (S/4HANA Transformation, RISE with SAP and HANA)

Location - Bangalore

Experience 18+ Years

Reports to Delivery Head / Business Unit Head

Role Overview

We are looking for an SAP Practice Head to build and lead InfoBeans SAP practice, starting with a 10-member

pod and scaling it into a full service line.

This role is part of a 10-member, self-contained SAP pod that can advise on, direct, manage and deliver SAP

transformation programs end to end: ECC-to-S/4HANA migration (system conversion, new implementation and

selective data transition), RISE with SAP, SAP HANA database migration and operations, Basis and technical

upgrades, ABAP and Fiori development, and SAP application management.

This is a player-coach role: you will own the practice's offerings, pipeline, delivery quality and talent, and stay close

enough to the work to shape solutions, lead pursuits and step into critical client conversations yourself. The pod

uses AI to speed up transformation work: documenting legacy ABAP, analysing and remediating custom code, and

generating and running test scripts, with consultants reviewing and approving every change.

Key Responsibilities

Practice strategy

• Define the SAP practice roadmap and offerings: ECC-to-S/4HANA migration, RISE with SAP, SAP HANA

migration and upgrades, Basis managed services, ABAP and Fiori development, and AMS.

• Position InfoBeans AI-led modernization approach, including its in-house AI modernization platform

(CodeNova), as a differentiator for faster, lower-risk S/4HANA migrations.

• Own pod and practice revenue, margin, utilization and growth targets, plus capacity planning.

• Build the SAP alliance: SAP PartnerEdge membership, partner certifications, RISE with SAP partner programs

and co-selling with SAP and hyperscaler account teams.

Business development and pre-sales

• Lead pursuits end to end: discovery, solution approach, estimation, RFP/RFI responses, orals and commercial

models (fixed price, outcome-based, managed services).

• Build CXO relationships (CIO, CFO, COO, IT infrastructure heads) and grow existing InfoBeans accounts into

SAP opportunities.

• Run assessments that open deals: S/4HANA readiness, custom-code analysis, RISE with SAP and

infrastructure assessments, and HANA sizing.

Delivery governance

• Govern all pod engagements using SAP Activate, with clear migration, cutover and downtime plans.

• Set quality gates, architecture reviews, risk and escalation management, and client reporting.

• Make AI-augmented delivery standard for code analysis, remediation, documentation and testing, with human

review and clear governance.

• Build reusable assets: migration runbooks, Basis automation scripts, custom-code toolkits and test packs.

Talent and capability

• Hire, develop and retain the pod, and plan its growth into a larger practice.
